Kirk Douglas (born Issur Danielovitch)



Douglas was born Issur Danielovitch (Yiddish: איסר דניאלאָוויטש‎) in Amsterdam, New York, the son of Bryna "Bertha" (née Sanglel; 1884–1958) and Herschel "Harry" Danielovitch (c. 1884–1950; citations regarding his exact year of birth differ).[4][5][6] His parents were Jewish immigrants from Chavusy, Mogilev Region, in the Russian Empire (present-day Belarus),[7][8][9][10][11][12] and the family spoke Yiddish at home.[13][14][15]

BAHHAAA

your question is a timely one

one picture of douglas' I have liked is a western

"the last sunset"

a fitting title for one who has just passed

there's a song used in the movie that kirk and a couple of muchacho's sing

cucurrucucu paloma is the song,

its about a love sick guy and cucurucucu represents the call of the mourning dove

its probably my favorite song to ask mariachi's to sing altho not every troupe can handle it, its been recorded by many, the first I think was harry belafonte
but also rosemary clooney and a host of others

here's kirk doing his best:

and not to be outdone

here's Natalie singing with frank:

The Duke and Kirk - perhaps describe as "Mutual Respect" - which the fascist DPST's have thrown in the toilet.
