Kirk Douglas and other famous actors whose films you don't know.
Be honest, how many people on here could name more than two of his films*?
What other famous Hollywood titans are you aware of but can't name three of their films?
Immediately spring to mind for me are:
Clark Gable (The awful Gone With The Wind and nought else)
Zsa Zsa Gabor (Not one film of hers do I know)
Shedloads of actors who only appear in pleb-fodder films packed with explosions.
*For the younger audience: movies.
Re: Kirk Douglas and other famous actors whose films you don't know.
I think KD’s first film was in 1945 it said on the news
He’s more of a figurehead for the Douglas acting Dynasty.
I can’t think of a film his son Michael has starred in in the last ten years at least let alone his old man.
KD has certainly dined out on the film Spartacus as it was first released believe it or not in 1960.

I saw Cactus Jack in the cinema and even though he's in it my main recollection of that film is Ann-Margaret - bloody hell she was gorgeous

My Auntie Viv got an Oscar for Gone with the Wind, between her & Uncle Larry they won 6 Oscars :thumbup:
(thinly veiled I have famous relatives, albeit tenuous links)

I would do OK with Kirk Douglas and Clark Gable, but no chance with Zsa Zsa Gabor. Having said that, I would struggle with Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise! :hehe:
