Life Could be Verse Author: Kirk Douglas

ISBN: 9780757318474 Format: Hardcover Number Of Pages: 120 Published: 2 December 2014 Country of Publication: US Dimensions (cm): 17.8 x 12.7 x 1.27 Description:

One of Hollywood's greatest icons offers an intimate and never-before-seen side of his life, both on screen and off, in this thought-provoking gift book filled with poetry, prose, and photos.

Kirk Douglas is an American legend-crowned as one of greatest male screen legends in American film history by the American Film Institute. And at 97, he is the highest ranked person on the list alive today. For his 98th birthday (December), Douglas offers us an intimate look into his life through a menagerie of poetry, prose and photographs. His poetry is uncomplicated but revealing; he pulls the curtain all the way back exposing them bombs and blockbusters of both his personal and professional life.

Comical. Sentimental. Painful. Romantic . . . Kirk candidly shares it all as he chaperones us through the stages of his life, including the untimely death of his youngest son and a helicopter crash that took the lives of two young people but spared his. Still, Douglas doesn't dwell in the sadness; nostalgic pictures of Marlene Dietrich, Lauren Bacall, Bridget Bardot and the Leading Ladies of his life pepper the pages and spice up the verse.
