Peter Douglas is a TV and film producer, and Eric Douglas was an actor who unfortunately lost his life in 2004 when he was 46 years old.

It is with tremendous sadness that my brothers and I announce that Kirk Douglas left us today at the age of 103. 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. But to me and my brothers Joel and Peter he was simply Dad, to Catherine, a wonderful father-in-law, to his grandchildren and great grandchild their loving grandfather, and to his wife Anne, a wonderful husband. 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. Let me end with the words I told him on his last birthday and which will always remain true. Dad- I love you so much and I am so proud to be your son. #KirkDouglas

Kirk mentioned in his last interview in 2017 how Anne, his wife saved his life. He shared with USA Today how he was supposed to give an award to Mike Todd, and he was scheduled to go with Todd’s private plane. Anne didn’t like that idea, and she said to her husband, “My wife says, ‘Why don’t you take a regular airplane?’ She kept insisting. And we had a big fight. I said, “‘OK, I won’t go.’ But I was very mad at her.” When Kirk was going back to Los Angles, he heard on the news that Mike Todd’s plane crashed, and everyone aboard the aircraft lost their lives. “She saved my life,” the legendary actor stated.
