Kirk Douglas, the legendary star of films such as “Champion,” “Spartacus” and “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea” has died. He was 103.
"It is with tremendous sadness that my brothers and I announce that Kirk Douglas left us today at the age of 103," he wrote on his verified Instagram account."To the world he was a legend, an actor from the golden age of movies who lived well into his golden years, a humanitarian whose commitment to justice and the causes he believed in set a standard for all of us to aspire to.
"Perhaps foremost, Douglas was as comfortable -- and as good, if not better -- playing a bad guy, a heel, as he was a traditional hero. His steely edge shone through starting with the film noir classic"Out of the Past" in 1947, followed by"Champion,""The Bad and the Beautiful" and"The Vikings."Douglas was equally comfortable with action and serious drama, combining a nasty streak with a wry sense of humor.
