Actor Kirk Douglas will be 92 in December (2008). 92! I'm roughly half his age and from everything I've heard about him of late, he's got twice the energy and drive that I do. Every generation of the last 60 years can easily point to a favorite Kirk Douglas movie, whether it's Champion, Paths of Glory, Lust for Life, Spartacus, or Tough Guys. As for me, I've always had a fondness for the cartoon silliness of The Villain. His latest autobiographical book, Let's Face It: 90 Years of Living, Loving and Learning was just released in paperback. It joins an already crowded bookshelf of memories, including The Ragman's Son, Climbing the Mountain: My Search for Meaning, and My Stroke of Luck.
In the six decades since he took to the stage and screen, Kirk Douglas has starred in eighty-three films, nine plays, written seven books, and made a remarkable commitment to humanitarian causes world-wide. Now in My Stroke of Luck, his vivid and very personal reflection upon his extraordinary life, Kirk Douglas finally completes his story by offering a candid and heartfelt memoir of where it all went right.
Written in his own words, Kirk offers tender vignettes of his childhood, family, and the seminal event that changed his life for the better. Kirk offers the lessons that saved him and helped him to heal; he also shares warm memories of some of the most famous figures of our time -- including Burt Lancaster, Michael J. Fox and Gary Cooper.
Filled with personal insights and read by Kirk Douglas and his son Michael, My Stroke of Luck is an audio sure to inspire all who hear it.
