A Son’s Tribute Michael Douglas shared a very close bond with his father Kirk. Announcing the demise, he wrote a heartfelt note that underlines his admiration and love for his departed parent: “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. Kirk’s life was well lived, and he leaves a legacy in film that will endure for generations to come, and a history as a renowned philanthropist who worked to aid the public and bring peace to the planet.” Michael signed off the note saying, “Let me end with the words I told him on his last birthday and which will always remain true. ‘I love you so much and I am so proud to be your son.” Catherine Zeta-Jones had a touching tribute, too: “To my darling Kirk, I shall love you for the rest of my life. I miss you already. Sleep tight.” PVR MOVIES FIRST PAGE 21
