    Despite the legendary status, I think I only films I ever saw with him in were The Vikings and 20000 League Under The Sea.

    Are there other claims about his treatment of women alongside the Natalie Wood one?

    No, no, man. If you're over 100 and didn't die tragically with your child, the embargo is waived.

    I loved a couple of his films, of course, who doesn't love Spartacus?

    But his treatment of women sucked.

    The tradeoff being that he was a Proper Movie Star of the kind you don't really get any more.

    I was far too early for Kirk, but I've always been a fan of Michael Douglas who I think is underrated as an actor, leading man and producer. I remember getting hooked on repeats of The Streets of San Francisco when they were running on one of the satellite channels about a decade back.

    Yes, it is, to be fair. The old studio system often didn’t do actors many favours on their CV.

    Isn't that the case with many "great" Hollywood stars? They were on a payroll, not just actors who could pick and choose their movies.

    There’s a few memorable films he was in - Ace In The Hole & Paths To Glory standout alongside Spartacus for me - but when you look back over his career a hell of a lot of it was forgettable dross.

    The Harvey Weinstein of his day? The Natalie Wood rumour would certainly suggest so

    Kirk Douglas, 103 and out

    Passed away yesterday.

    Have to admit, I've never watched Sparticus. I've said "I'm Sparticus!" though.
