materials. and music legends as seen through the lens of linda mccartney on show in western germany. douglas was born. to impoverished jewish russian immigrants so his life really was a rags to riches story unlike other screen idols of the post-war era he manage the transition to more serious roles and also became the producer of some of his major films like sponsor kiss he made over 80 movies and stood up against the blacklist in hollywood in the mccarthy era a true legend of the cinema who's died at age 103. in film and in life he was the underdog who refused to take things lying down. his most famous moment was as and. who had a slave revolts in the 1960 movie spartacus i was like champion trying to

punch my way to success. you see george it was easy for me to. say a line like. i don't want to be. on my life. i want to hear people call me mr. the son of russian jewish immigrants douglas sport hard to reach the top even working as a firm ground rest to pay for acting lessons he appeared in more than 80 films and his cleft chin became his trademark ductless enjoyed playing villains and characters on the edge after being nominated 3 times he was finally given an oscar award for lifetime achievement in 1996 or will you and i thank you a touching tribute from his son actor michael douglas dad i love you so much and i'm so proud to be your son the last hero of hollywood's golden age has passed away

at the age of 103. market crew. i mean what a star what a life and wonderful words from his. son michael douglas yes he was the one who in the death of his father. on facebook. he was an i can distractable hero if the 2nd world war a helicopter crash and a stroke handwritten 3 years old what a fighter and well to quote his son from facebook to him and. gave just this private glimpse of the family life that was so touching for me. because we knew that the relationship between the father and the son was always

a little bit complicated this was so and basis that he would never let his son win even when michael shouted. when he followed his footsteps as an actor this was a bit of a challenge but in the end i guess claimed to be just proud of him so they had a really strong bond. a typical sort of matinee idol as they were called and. he was a very good looking man but he did every hole about him not with his son he didn't compromise a toll road and never never career. and he never chose the easiest way you know especially in the beginning of his career it wasn't easy to work with him he had the reputation of being particularly difficult he certainly was not one of those who gets told what to do he argued a lot he followed a lot he was as he was. so incredibly talented so he had

refused a 7 year contract with the hollywood studio because he didn't know want to be enslaved. he turned down lucrative roles and preferred the challenges of the difficult films he fought his way up from the bottom and because of his tough childhood he felt so comfortable with characters who face struggles even if they were insane or villains what he just loved the bad guys and as we see in the public he just shown his overwhelming sham ok and actually he didn't compromise again when it was more serious stuff i mean he was a producer sponsor because in that film something i mean something that could have destroyed his career it's absolutely absolutely so he wasn't only one of hollywood's biggest activists and greatest actors he was also one of the biggest risk taking us for spot because he not only played the lead role maybe the biggest in his career he was also the producer and he hyatt dalton trumbo

screenwriter who was on hollywood's blacklist of actors and musicians you know it was right in the era of mccarthy the on to communist era and those people were taught to become you to sympathize with prevented for working and that was maybe the biggest fight of douglas career douglas just decided that the how with it i'm going to hire him. and he took the huge risk and that was such a brave step and could have meant the end of his career but in the end it was the end of the blacklist believe sorry and i mean amazing he never got an oscar as we saw from the mid you individual film but thankfully the academy award. him with an honorary 1996 mica as always thanks very much for joining us today thank you. now moving now to the world of fashion today many to day many the labels are
