Things that occurred in Kirk's lifespan. Cars becoming a common mode of transportation, WWI and II, President Woodrow Wilson-Trump as President. The Roaring 20s to the new Roaring 20s. Most crazy is the advancements in technology. His lifetime went from Radio, TV, to computer and cellphone as main sources for entertainment.

I was just reading through an AP article on him and found something interesting

Kirk Douglas tried for years to make a film out of Ken Kesey’s cult novel “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.”

In the 1970s, he gave up and let Michael have a try. The younger Douglas produced a classic that starred Jack Nicholson (in the role Kirk Douglas wanted to play) and dominated the Oscars, winning for best picture, director, actor, actress and screenplay.

“My father has played up his disappointment with that pretty good,’’ Michael Douglas later told Vanity Fair. “I have to remind him, I shared part of my producing back-end (credit) with him, so he ended up making more money off that movie than he had in any other picture.”

“And I would gladly give back every cent, if I could have played that role,” the elder Douglas said.

I could easily see Kirk in Nicholson's part and likely played it just as good.

Or been in close proximity to Gwyneth Paltrow.

(I'm going to the well every time with this joke and beating it to a pulp)
