Grand Old Man Of The Silver Screen!

[Arthur Little]

Actor, Kirk Douglas ... is 99 today ...

... imagine living for 99 years with that famous dimple on his chin! !

[Arthur Little]

Mmhm ... must be one of the [very] few of that bygone era who are still alive!

[mickcant]

I remember him from some good films, a good actor.
All the best to him.
Mick.

[Terpe]

If anyone has a chance to read about him, he has led a very interesting and full life.

99 now thats a great age.

[Arthur Little]

99 now thats a great age.

Sure is, Steve ... he's just about nine months younger than my mother would've been ... BOTH born in 1916.

Mmhm ... must be one of the [very] few of that bygone era who are still alive!

Yep ... and he still is ... at 100 years' old today ...

[grahamw48]

Yes, 100... ands his wife is 90+ too !

Another famous person I'd assumed died years ago.

Good on him. Gives hope to us all, what with my hero, 73 year-old Mick Jagger's latest Mrs (29) having just given birth to Mick's 8th child.

I feel like a young lad !
