Kirk Douglas – Navy

Kirk Douglas turned 102 in 2018, and this living legend definitely doesn’t need an introduction. He’s one of the last remaining stars from Hollywood’s Golden Age, and we bet that you didn’t know that interesting fact about him.  Douglas has been in more than 90 movies over the course of his 64-year career, but before he called himself an actor, he served in World War II as a Navy lieutenant, then became a communications officer for submarine warfare. He was medically discharged in 1944. Kirk might have been in retirement for many years now, yet his legacy is still very much alive, especially given the fact that both his son and grandson are following his glorious path.
