Douglas took great pride in his professionalism and seemingly ageless athleticism. He worked hard with the stunt coordinator in order to look good while doing the stunts himself.
In that sense he was "that good."
Kirk Douglas appeared in the 1979 comedy/western "Cactus Jack" aka "The Villain" as an incompetent outlaw raffling a fake eye.This hilarious (in patches) western costarring a young Arnold Schwarzenneger & the sexy Ann-Margret couldn't salvage this movie from flopping all over the US.
There were a total of seven, [1] I Walk Alone (1948) / [2] Gunfight at the O.K. Corral (1957) / [3] The Devil's Disciple (1959) / [4] The List of Adrian Messenger (1963) / [5] Seven Days in May (1964) / [6] Victory at Entebbe (1976) / [7] Tough Guys (1986)
Yes. He actually survived the Holocaust and then forever banished his humble Jewish roots. For a more flamboyant Hollywood lifestyle.
My husband believes they had an extra with an actual peg leg!
He and his wife of more than 50 years Anne Buydens still reside in California.
I think you may be confused with Michael Douglas, who is Kirk Douglas' son.
The movie Rio Bravo (1959) features John Wayne as the sheriff and Dean Martin as the sobering alcoholic ex-deputy sheriff who, along with other misfits, helps him against a gang trying to break a murderer out of jail . The director was Howard Hawk. This is regarded as one of the great classic western movies.

He joined the navy in 1941 prior to Pearl Harbor. He was discharged for "war injuries" in 1944.
No. He was nominated twice, in 1972, as Supporting Actor in "The French Connection" and 1980, as Best Actor for "All That Jazz." He lost to Ben Johnson for "The Last Picture Show" in 1972, and to Dustin Hoffman for "Kramer Vs. Kramer" in 1980
The actor known as Kirk Douglas was born Issur Danielovitich. The actor known as Paul Douglas was born Paul Douglass Fleischer. Other than studios choosing the same "American" name for both actors, they are unrelated.
Kirk Douglas might have guest-starred on the show, but Chuck Connors was the actor in the title role.
He sang it with Dewey Martin, in a bar scene from the movie "Big Sky."
Yes. If the Allies lost WWII, fascism might develop in those nations. Most likely Russia will fall under fascism. If Germany won WWI, that means no USSR, because of German concern. Fascism might get a hold in France or even Britain, but it is unlikely.
WWII was caused by Hitler. If Germany won WWI, Hitler would most likely still go into politics, but his party will continue to gain 1 or 2% of the vote. Nationalism might develop in France, but it will not be Nazism or anti Semitism. WWII might be caused by Fascist Russia who wants control of the puppet states that once made up the Russian Empire. The treaty of Brest Litovsk allowed the Central Powers to seize released territories from Russia as puppet states, allowing them to leave WWI.
And also, Germany couldn't have done it alone. Although it would be the main fighting force, it had core allies that it could move troops to fight on that front. This should be "If the Central Powers had won WWI, would WWII have happened?"
