It's strange. You expected to hear this soon, because at this age it can happen any day. But on the other hand you thought he would go on at least until 120...
Fantastic performances in Paths of Glory and Spartacus.
RIP

wtf in this mourning situation? I knew Rosie was one of trolls hereĀ She' s a fucking hypocrite. Does anyone forget that she supported a convicted child molester about 10 years ago? Now all of sudden, she's champion for women's rights?

I think people,particularly Wood's sister,Lana Wood, were waiting for him to pass away before they went public with what he allegedly did to Natalie.I've read a bit about it and apparently she told multiple people that Douglas raped her repeatedly in a hotel room when she was 15.The details are really sickening.I believe it happened fwiw.

Natalie's daughter Natasha is also releasing a book + a documentary about her mother this year. So, we'll see what happens. But right now, I think people should wait a little bit before starting to spread false rumors. I truly hope that they'll get to the bottom of that whole affair,though.

I just really hope Natalie's spirit is at peace - if the allegations are true, it would only have made her tempestuous life all the more difficult. But I agree that it's only fair at this point to allow Douglas' family the chance to grieve in peace, as well. Hearsay generally brings out the worst in people.

I have serious doubts about people who speak only after the accused can't defend himself anymore. It's pretty disgusting at this point. I felt the same when Kobe Bryant passed last week, and people who had no energy to talk about his rape case while he lived (which never went to trial, so it was never proven that it was anything but a consensual encounter that he always maintained) literally started calling him a rapist before his body was even recovered from the wreckage. All to push a #MeToo agenda that's increasingly losing credibility with it's witchhunt tactics and condemnation without evidence (look at poor Johnny Depp. Without that audio proof, he'd be labled an abuser for the rest of his life based on the word of Amber Heard). I hope Douglas didn't do anything that hearsay suggests, but the reality is it'll never be proven, so let the man rest in peace. I mean Marlon Brando's own daughter accused him of sexually molesting her before she took her own life, yet that's something people overlook (or maybe even never heard about) because of her mental health issues had people claiming she was prone to lying or exaggerating, and maybe they just didn't want to believe Brando sexually abused his own kid. But ultimately, it can't be proven.

www.news.com.au/lifestyle/real-life/true-stories/cryptic-note-what-happened-to-actress-jean-spangler/news-story/ab9ca6835d6739c75912fd3b4feb76c7Cryptic note: What happened to actress Jean Spangler? SHE was a beautiful model and actress, destined for a big Hollywood career, until she disappeared. All she left was a note addressed to āKirkā. N 1949, Jean Spangler was about to become a huge star. Starting her career as a model and dancer, the beautiful 26-year-old had nabbed a powerful agent, a strong circle of influential supporters, and had recently transitioned into Hollywood film roles. She was destined for the big time, and then she disappeared. Her purse was found two days later in the entrance to Griffith Park in Los Angeles with the straps broken on one side ā suggesting it was torn from her shoulder with force. The purse contained, among other items, an unfinished note addressed to a āKirkā. āKirk, Canāt wait any longer, Going to see Dr. Scott. It will work best this way while mother is away,āĀŗ Police were baffled by both her disappearance, and the cryptic nature of the note. They questioned every Dr. Scott in the area, none of whom knew of her. After questioning many of her friends and associates, police learnt that Spangler believed she was three months pregnant at the time of her disappearance. They also learned of an underground abortionist known as āThe Docā who operated out of an office on the Sunset Strip, and would perform the operation ā which was illegal at the time. This was, like many scandalous facts in the tight-knit movie industry, an open secret at the time. At any rate, any doctor questioned by police would hardly be forthcoming about illegal operations they were performing. The investigation hit a dead end. Then the police received a call from movie star Kirk Douglas. ouglas rang the police out of the blue while holidaying in Palm Springs, saying he had caught wind of the investigation, and that he wasnāt the āKirkā in the note ā despite detectives not even having thought of him. Now he was a suspect. Douglas was one of the biggest movie stars in the world at the time, after the leading role of a morally-bankrupt boxer in 1949ās Champion saw him catapulted to international fame, landing him his first Oscar nomination for Best Actor. For the police to receive a cold call from Douglas was undoubtedly a shock. Jean Spangler had, however, recently acted in a then-unreleased film called Young Man With A Horn, starring ā you guessed it ā Kirk Douglas. Douglas stressed he didnāt know her personally. Douglas, who turned 100 this month, was cleared of any involvement by the police. Not surprisingly, the press leapt on the story ā a missing Hollywood starlet proved too delicious to avoid ā and quickly posited many theories: that she was killed by the mafia after an affair with noted mobster Dave Ogul, who disappeared two days after Spangler; that she died during a botched abortion, with her purse placed in a public space in order to suggest something more sinister at play; and ā most salaciously of all ā that she was a victim of the same murderer who killed Elizabeth Short, dubbed the āBlack Dahliaā by press, in 1947. None of these angles appear to allow for much evidence, but they have helped keep this case alive in the minds of both conspiracy theories and cold case hobbyists. he purse appears now to be a crude red herring; valuables were found in it, which means robbery wasnāt the motive, and that it was located in the entrance of a well-trafficked park two days after her disappearance suggests it was dumped there to be discovered. Jean Spangler was never found, and ā lacking any concrete suspects ā the police soon moved on from this investigation. Spanglerās case, like so many, was left to fade into obscurity.

But this woman kept on saying for years, I'll speak after Douglas 's death. What's the point, but the desire not to allow his self defense? Those multiple allegations only came to the surface after his death . Most of those kids/teenagers were either silenced or just too afraid to speak up. Those allegations were also branded "rumors' when that POS was wtill alive. I watched a documentary about it .Pretty disturbing stuff.

A man who leaves a strong and not uncomplicated legacy, and while there is definitely going to be some posthumous examination and assessment of his personal life (unfounded or not), it cannot be denied that this man was hugely influential to the landscape of cinema in a way very few actors could ever hope to be. It's fitting that one of the very last figures from that Golden Age was the man who arguably had the best streak of consistency (1947-1962) in that entire era.
Also, he was my favorite Oscar presenter. Go easy, Kirk.

So basically a lot of powerful people knew but they chose to remain silent... Typical. I feel horrible for those poor kids. I hope they still manage ge to find some peace. As a victim of sexual assault myself, I know how hard it is to recover from something that horrible.
