I think we'll give that to Kirk Douglas actually.

Nope. It matters who gets forgotten though.

True. I wonder though what it says that Douglas keeps getting forgotten and Heston is thought of as "the last of the great Hollywood stars"... |

He weeps! WEEPS!!
It's easily dome though. Mickey Rooney was mentiond and i forgot about him. perhaps not a great actor, but certainly a great star.
But those 2, Tony Curtis, Maureen O'Hara...Who's left?
Even the next generation are starting to rust...Both Eatswood and Hackman are about 79.
Christopher Lee is a whopping 86!
In 10 years or so the history of Hollywood will pretty well be just that. History.
The Silent stars have gone, the Golden Age stars are all but gone, the TV/rebellious age stars are pensioners..
Ah! Makes us all feel old.

Kirk Douglas is far from forgotten, but the number of male stars from that era is getting very small.

Perhaps we should take this discussion to another thread since this is the Charlton Heston Tribute thread.

Re: How many stars from the Golden Age of Hollywood remain with us?
I've started this thread so as to not detract from the tributes to Charlton Heston.
Let's not forget the female stars from that era that remain with us. There is Olivia and her sister Joan Fontaine. Also, Jane Russell and Elenor Parker are still alive.
Karl Malden might be older than Kirk Douglas is still with us.

Robert, I just want to say that I'm not pleased with the way my early comments come across here. I originally said what I did about Kirk Douglas only because it was originally posted as part of the Charlton Heston Tribute Thread, and I too didn't feel it was the place to debate "who is the last great star". I just wanted to be clear on this, because it comes off a tad abrasive here on its own, in a separate thread. I certainly respect Kirk Douglas and have nothing against him. He IS one of the last living legends. Just wanted to make that clear. |
