But I do know that, as long as we live, we must remain true to ourselves.

Kirk Douglas and his wife just dedicated their 400th playground in the L.A. area.

Here's the 91-year old actor on a slide.


I love this guy.

  1. Seriously, how cool is that. Even post-stroke the dude is still keeping busy.

  3. He's tougher in reality than he acted in his movies. Good guy.

  5. Those aren't socks, he's wearing a union suit!

    Seriously, that is wicked cool. I haven't seen Mr. Douglas in so long, I was startled that he's 91.

  6. Kirk Douglas is way more awesome than he has any right to be.

  7. The socks are cool (and a lovely Christmas red) but don't forget the playgrounds.

    How great of a legacy is that? Because of his and his wife's foundation there are 400 more playgrounds around Los Angeles.

    To me that's almost a bigger legacy than his movies.
