Kirk Douglas Trivia
|
- Ranked #53 in Empire (UK) magazine's "The Top 100 Movie Stars of All Time" list. [October 1997]
- Speaks German (fluently, but not accent-free) and also French.
- Grandfather of Cameron Douglas and Dylan Douglas (Michael Douglas' sons).
- Recipient of American Film Institute's Lifetime Achievement award, with screening of 16 Douglas's films. [December 1999]
- Was originally cast to play Col. Sam Trautman in First Blood, but walked out on the project. Douglas wanted substantial changes made to the script, specifically that John Rambo die at the hands of Trautman, like the character did in the novel. The writers held their ground and refused. Richard Crenna was eventually cast in the role.
