Kirk Douglas, one of the most famous American leading men of the mid-20th century remembered for his dimpled chin, chiseled features, and virile Hollywood roles, died Wednesday at the age of 103, his family announced. "It is with tremendous sadness that my brothers and I announce that Kirk Douglas left us today at the age of 103," Kirk's son, Michael Douglas, wrote in a statement shared to social media.

Douglas was born Issur "Izzy" Danielovitch on Dec. 9, 1916, to Russian Jewish parents in Amsterdam, New York. He fared much better with critics at age 92, when he delivered sold-out performances of his one-man show, "Before I Forget," presenting anecdotes about living through Hollywood's Golden Age and self-deprecating meditations on his achievements.
