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.

A great man and a Hell of an actor I hope I saw every picture he was in RIP Mr Douglas

Very sad, so many of the great legends have left us. Thankfully they do live on in their work 😢

Very taleted and charismatic actor 💙💜💙

So, if I were to mention that he had been accused of sleeping with then, 15 YEAR OLD Natalie Woods, I'd be wrong, huh? Exactly.

Natalie Wood.

I wonder if Trump is going to find a way to add his name in the tribute to this wonderful man

🙏

RIP Kirk Douglas

He did? I missed that. He was great in Paths of Glory.

Where would the US be without immigrants.....

Now this is news, you see, Cable News Network, this is how you do it!

I remember Spartacus. RIP

He wasn’t born to Russian immigrants. He was born to Ukrainian immigrants. Kindly learn the difference.

I love film...Strangers when we meet. With kim novak.

Hopefully I'll be posting this in someone else's obit soon.

By colourful are you talking about his sexual assault of women?

May rest in peace
