There are just a few surviving members of Hollywood’s Golden Age, and sadly we just lost another one. Kirk Douglas, beloved movie star, producer, and, writer has passed away. Douglas was 103 years old.

In a statement, his son, Michael Douglas, said:

It is with tremendous sadness that my brothers and I announce that Kirk Douglas left us today at the age of 103. 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.

Born Issur Danielovitch to Russian Jewish immigrants, and raised as “Izzy Demsky,” he became Kirk Douglas as he entered the Navy the fight in World War II. After the war he worked mostly in radio, before he was discovered by Hollywood. He quickly became known for tough guy roles, and cemented his star status with the Oscar winning 1949 film Champion, where he played boxer Midge Kelly.

 

Champion (1949) with Kirk Douglas

Douglas received his first Oscar nomination for Champion, but lost to Broderick Crawford for All the King’s Men; astonishingly, Douglas never won an Academy Award during his decades-long career. (He received an Honorary Oscar in 1996.)

Douglas remained one of the biggest stars in Hollywood all through the middle of the 20th century, and he used his clout to form his own independent production company at a time when almost every star was still beholden to studio contracts. He’s probably best known for the title role in Spartacus, directed by Stanley Kubrick and scripted by blacklisted writer Dalton Trumbo. Douglas backing Trumbo was a key moment in ending the Hollywood blacklist.

 

I'm Spartacus - Spartacus (8/10) Movie CLIP (1960) HD

Other classic Douglas roles include the Hollywood drama The Bad and the Beautiful, Disney’s 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Stanley Kubrick’s Paths of Glory, the Vincent Van Gogh biopic Lust For Life, and Billy Wilder’s lacerating satire of the American media, Ace in the Hole. Although a flop in its day, it’s now recognized as one of the more prescient films of the mid-20th century. It’s available in an excellent Blu-ray from the Criterion Collection. Douglas is fantastic in the film as ruthless reporter Chuck Tatum, who stumbles on a scoop and turns it into a media circus.

 

 

Douglas suffered a stroke in 1996, but he lived for almost another 25 years. He’s survived by Anne Buydens, his wife of 65 years, and three sons, Michael, Joel, and Eric — and, of course, his legendary body of work. It will last more than 103 years.

Thursday's Prayer Breakfast -- a 'Divine Appointment'?

  Quote

Thursday, Feb. 6: In the morning, expect the unexpected when President Trump is scheduled to speak at the 68th annual National Prayer Breakfast less than 24 hours after his presumed acquittal. Every president since Dwight D. Eisenhower has addressed this influential audience of 3,500 elected officials, diplomats, national and international religious and political leaders. The breakfast is “literally one of the toughest tickets to get in Washington” — to quote House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) from his 2018 keynote speech, a dramatic re-telling about how God intervened when he almost lost his life in a shooting at a congressional baseball practice in 2017.

 

Since the date of the Prayer Breakfast is set in stone, the first Thursday in February, I am prompted to ask if the stars are aligned for a “Divine presidential appointment” of historic proportions -- a concept believers will recognize as an event specifically arranged by God. 

Words don’t adequately convey the solemn, serious, bi-partisan, and loving breakfast atmosphere when the city’s largest ballroom is temporarily transformed into a sanctuary where glorifying God triumphs over politics.

The audience represents many different faith traditions. However, the program and tone are overwhelmingly (evangelical) Christian. Testimonies, music, and speeches profess love for Jesus Christ and one another in addition to overcoming obstacles through prayer, forgiveness of sins, and trust in the Lord.

Thursday, Trump’s potential acquittal on late Wednesday positions the annual event as a platform for the president’s first major post-acquittal speech. Is that merely coincidental or miraculous? Either way, it raises the question: How will the newly acquitted president comport himself before the National Prayer Breakfast audience?

 

Will he be humble, and ask forgiveness for anything? Will he be boastful and arrogant? Will he talk about how he leaned on his faith to help him through this presidential crisis? Will he “joke” as he did in August that he is the "chosen one"? Or again, will Trump take his cue from President Clinton at the 1999 Prayer Breakfast and not even mention impeachment?  (At the Feb. 4 breakfast Clinton had yet to be acquitted, which occurred eight days later on Feb. 12, 1999.) In Trump’s case, by Thursday morning, the ink on his Senate acquittal paperwork will still be wet, and he might let it rip.

Nonetheless, the president is being given a historic opportunity to address National Prayer Breakfast attendees at the most pivotal, triumphal time in his presidency. But this extremely dignified, mostly pro-Trump audience is worlds apart from a Trump rally. For starters, political speakers are not supposed to talk about partisan politics.

Then, it goes without saying: Thou shall not gloat or call thy enemies by names other than their own. Thus, will Trump rise to the moment of this Divinely timed occasion? Will his words confirm and reinforce the loyal support he and his policies have earned from voters who are followers of Christ, inside the ballroom and out? After acquittal, will he use this unique Prayer Breakfast timing and setting to talk about loving his enemies and uniting all of his people?

WWJS? – “What Would Jesus Say?”  

Is Thursday morning's must-see TV programmed by God? Stay tuned.

@Veum

 

We are a very tolerant and diverse forum here at MP  .

 

However one of our CORE VALUES here is to make sure that friendships that have been made are not jeopardised by 2 things that even the best of friends and family can disagree on Religion AND Politics .

 

Both are personal mantras  to our members . To have either in an open forum thread to me violates what MP stands for .

 

PLEASE understand why I have quoted your post and brought it to your attention sweetheart .

 

Going forward can you PLEASE refrain from pushing the boundaries on both topics .

 

I WOULD HATE TO SEE A MISUNDERSTANDING HERE RESULT IN ANY BAD FEELING FROM ANYONE .

OK @Scary Hair I’ll refrain from what I love Most, which comes out of me naturally (I’m use to being a REMNANT), I NEVER thought I was committing any harm, because it is after all National Prayer Day in America!

A TRUE LEGEND AND ICON .

 

103 from such humble beginnings . Heath issues in later years .

 

TO ME A TRUE BORN FIGHTER WHO REFUSED TO BE DEFINED BY BEING JUST GOOD AT 1 THING .

 

Heven  whatever version you belive in has gained another light 

 

RIP Kirt Douglas

I get Its a Prayer and a national event  in the USA ❤️ .

 

However the mix a Presidential address to only one segment of the religious rainbow of beliefs  BY NOT the most unifying person who has ever held the  High Office / position may not be quite the way to include everyone here .
