My Stroke of Luck;About the author Kirk Douglas; Although growing up in a poor ghetto, Douglas was a fine student and a keen athlete and wrestled competitively during his time at St. Lawrence University. However, he soon identified an acting scholarship as a way out of his meager existence, and was sufficiently talented to gain entry into the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. He only appeared in a handful of minor Broadway productions before joining the US Navy in 1941, and then after the end of hostilities in 1945, returned to the theater and some radio work . /m/f/2006-08-04html; December 9, 2006. My name is Kirk Douglas. You may know me. If you dont . . . Google me. I was a movie star and Im Michael Douglas dad, Catherine Zeta-Jones father-in-law, and the grandparents of their two children. Today I celebrate my 90th birthday. I have a message to convey to Americas young people. A 90th birthday is special. In my case, this birthday is not only special but miraculous. I survived World War II, a helicopter crash, a stroke, and two new knees. Its a tradition that when a birthday boy stands over his cake he makes a silent wish for his life and then blows out the candles. I have followed that tradition for 89 years but on my 90th birthday, I have decided to rebel. Instead of making a silent wish for myself, I want to make a loud wish for The World. ;Evaluation only.
