Kirk Douglas
On June 30, 1994, actor Kirk Douglas spoke at a National Press Club
luncheon. Mr. Douglas described the blurring of reality and make believe
in today's society. He blames all of us for letting the media place too
much emphasis on the theatrics of news presentation. As he prepares to
make his 82nd film, he chided that he is now qualified to be a news
reporter. Mr. Douglas believes that there is something murky in the past
of every great man, but that should not be the most important thing about
an individual.
