Kirk Douglas's skilful and passionate autobiography charts the rise
of the son of an illiterate Russian-Jewish ragman who became one of
the last surviving legends from Hollywood's golden era, who died
aged 103 in February 2020. With unflinching humour and frankness he
reveals the inside story of more than forty years of stardom,
working alongside Frank Sinatra, Burt Lancaster, John Wayne and
Laurence Olivier - and his relationships with movie goddesses like
Joan Crawford, Rita Hayworth and Marlene Dietrich. He starred in
numerous films that have gone on to become enduring classics, such
as Spartacus, The Glass Menagerie, Lust for Life, Paths of
Glory and Gunfight at the OK Corral. He was nominated for an Oscar
three times, and won a lifetime achievement Oscar in 1996. He
campaigned against the Hollywood blacklist, giving opportunities to
young directors such as Stanley Kubrick and, after starring in the
play One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, he gave the film rights to
his son Michael Douglas, who produced the Oscar-winning movie that
followed. Rich in unforgettable anecdotes that capture the true
spirit of the golden years of Hollywood and Broadway, this is an
autobiography that reads like a novel, narrated by the unmistakable
voice of a true superstar.
