Kirk Douglas...RIP

[Overseasmom100]

Not just blind items, Susan Braudy came out and said that Michael was a wanker:

Her sister said she would reveal who the rapist was when he died.

Then we should find out shortly if it was KD. Though maybe the powerful Douglas family will try to stop it?

It is all over Twitter (Natalie Wood) and was trending higher than KD's death. He said in his own autobiography that he was not pleasant to women and I had also heard the Jean thing and his connection with other abortions.

A lot of really nasty stuff happened in Old Hollywood due to the power of the studios. I read something horrible about another huge Old Hollywood star a while ago that connected to the more sanitised version that people know. I am really interested in that period and some of the stories are really upsetting

Hopefully we wont have another eulogising of an alleged rapist

I expect a tribute at the upcoming Oscars. More than including him in the regular In Memoriam.

I just that the obit in the Guardian had many comments deleted. I assume they were about NW.

I am really interested in that period and some of the stories are really upsetting

Then google Harry Cohn.

You might also be interested in a magazine called Yours Retro.

I doubt much will come out. I was reading a thread on Twitter dominated by a man saying “But where’s the proof? This is all just hearsay! Was KD ever interviewed or charged?”

Because, as we all know, every genuine instance of rape ends with a conviction and any other allegation should be ignored for fear of smearing the reputation of a rich and powerful man

I wonder if Natalie ‘s sister will reveal what she knows, just as she has fought to find out the truth of Natalie’s death. Could the Douglas crowd sue her now he is dead? Does anyone on here know how that works in the USA? Perhaps she could do so in the UK without any comebacks.

It's an open secret anyway it's very easy to Google and read ,wether the Douglas family take out any injunctions or not .

One of the first films my parents took me to see was The Vikings. I was fascinated when the man had his hand cut off as punishment. I was very young - it’s a wonder I wasn’t traumatised for life. 😂

Nothing at the Oscars. Just the usual flash of his photo at the end of the montage. I think they are more careful these days.

Well there was a bit of a backlash when he got a globe at the height of #metoo. Maybe with Natalie Wood trending, they thought better of it, maybe it was too late in the day to organise an extended tribute. Either way I am pleased they didn't.
