Kirk Douglas (born Issur Danielovitch)
(December 9, 1916 – February 5, 2020)
As an actor and philanthropist, Kirk Douglas received
an Academy Honorary Award for Lifetime Achievement
and the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
As an author, he wrote ten novels and memoirs. After
barely surviving a helicopter crash in 1991 and then
suffering a stroke in 1996, he focused on renewing
his spiritual and religious life.
He lived with his second wife, producer Anne Buydens,
until his death in 2020. A centenarian, Douglas was one
of the last surviving stars of the film industry’s Golden
Age.
1960

The 1940 Chicago Bears’ 8-3 regular season wasn’t spectacular,
but their championship game was: they beat the Washington
Redskins 73-0, the widest margin in NFL history.
The Bears led the NFL in rushing offense with 1,818 yards, and
in rushing TDs, with 16.

His version of "White Christmas" is the best-selling single ever,
with a mind-boggling fifty million copies sold.
