I am so glad he made the milestone. When he turned 90, 95 and so on I was really hoping. He is an amazing actor, I even think underrated and from so many reports (to this day) a wonderful man to his fans. I believe he still responds ttm IF someone sends one of his books.

IMO, I got the ball rolling back on the ttm successes when I sent a book for signature and got a success, in 2005 and posted on star archive. From in-person reports, he has always tried to find the time to sign. It was a great chance I took and hope it led to a lot of success for other people, who may have thought he was done signing totally.

Indeed. Most people may not realize that on his 99th birthday Kirk donated $15 million dollars to build an Alzheimer's facility. Plus has contributed to build over 400 playgrounds. Very caring and generous man.

All those are great Christopher. I also include The War Wagon, Lust For Life , Last Train From Gun Hill, Along the Great Divide and The List of Adrian Messenger. A great actor and even greater human being. I just realized Kirk Douglas was just a few months younger than my father!
