Damn. Hard to believe he's that old. I still can't believe Michael is 70 either.

I'm not even sure the word "remarkable" does it justice.

Kirk Douglas was my age in 1951.
He was 65 when I was born.
He is only 6 months younger than John F. Kennedy.
He is 12 years older than Martin Luther King.
When he was 1, the Austro-Hungarian Empire still existed.
He was born a month after the October Revolution.
He was 22 when Germany invaded Poland.
Damn, he's old.

| Amazing, 100 years. He's been in so many classics, but my favorite film of his is Paths of Glory. Such a powerful film. |

You're right, of course. My brain must be already in 2017, hence why I based it on 1917, and everything I wrote is probably off by a year. 
I also happen to be a Russian historian.
