Hollywood’s silver screen legend, Kirk Douglas took his last breath at the age of 103, his family confirmed on Wednesday. Kirk Douglas is the son of a Jewish Russian immigrant.

In his six-decade career, Kirk Douglas has become famous for macho tough guy look. He is the father of filmmaker and Oscar-winning actor, Michael Douglas. His son announced his father’s demise on his Facebook page.

The legend was nominated in Oscar awards for three of his best roles. His roles like as a womanizing and double-crossing boxer in movie “Champion” (1949), a brutal movie producer in the movie “The Bad and the Beautiful” (1952) and finally as a troubled artist Vincent Van Gogh in the movie “Lust for Life” (1956).

But the only award which he got was as an honorary lifetime achievement Academy Award in the year 1995. It was for his 50 years journey as a moral force and creative person in the motion picture community.

He lives with his family consisting of second wife Anne Buydens (100) along with his three sons. Previously, in the year 2004, his fourth son Eric (40) had lost his life due to drug overdose.
