Bandaríski stórleikarinn Kirk Douglas lést 5. febrúar, 103 ára gamall. Hann gekk þannig frá sínum málum að nær allar hans eigur renna til góðgerðarmála en eignir hans eru metnar á upphæð sem nemur um sjö milljörðum króna.
Féið mun að mestu renna til góðgerðafélagsins Douglas Foundation sem Kirk setti á laggirnar.
Í fréttum er tekið fram að sonur hans, Michael Douglas, fái ekki krónu í arf frá föður sínum. Þeir feðgar voru afar nánir og það var Michael sem tilkynnti um andlát föður síns í einlægri færslu á Instagram.
„Það er með mikilli sorg í hjarta að við bræðurnir tilkynnum að Kirk Douglas kvaddi okkur í dag, 103 ára gamall,“ skrifaði hann. Kirk átti fjóra syni.

It is with tremendous sadness that my brothers and I announce that Kirk Douglas left us today at the age of 103. To the world he was a legend, an actor from the golden age of movies who lived well into his golden years, a humanitarian whose commitment to justice and the causes he believed in set a standard for all of us to aspire to. But to me and my brothers Joel and Peter he was simply Dad, to Catherine, a wonderful father-in-law, to his grandchildren and great grandchild their loving grandfather, and to his wife Anne, a wonderful husband. Kirk's life was well lived, and he leaves a legacy in film that will endure for generations to come, and a history as a renowned philanthropist who worked to aid the public and bring peace to the planet. Let me end with the words I told him on his last birthday and which will always remain true. Dad- I love you so much and I am so proud to be your son. #KirkDouglas
