"A long life is only worth it if you fill it with love, laughter, and giving back."

— Kirk Douglas

Kirk Douglas, with his distinctive cleft chin and intense gaze, was one of Hollywood’s most recognizable stars, capturing the essence of the “look” of the Golden Age of Hollywood.

Thanks to the foresight of Anne Douglas, a concerted effort was made to collect and preserve a large variety of images and memorabilia from Kirk’s career and personal life. This extensive collection has been organized in The Douglas Archive, a digital collection created to allow others to view and enjoy the vast array of photographs, posters, correspondence, and awards from Kirk’s legendary career in Hollywood, the Douglas’ philanthropic efforts, and their 65+ year marriage.
