5:02 They weren’t that old! 😮

They were only 41 and 43. What do you mean “considering their ages?”

I’m sure you meant, “Lancaster and Douglas”. ;)

MrImiller07 thank you for sharing

Kirk Douglas did everything well.

Jane Doe Kirk and Burt were very competitive with one another. They were not close friends off screen but worked well together and their movies made $$. Burt was previously a competitive swimmer and acrobat and of course Kirk with weight lifting and sports.

Kirk sang in "20,000 leagues under the sea"

Tarn, Burt was actually afraid of the water and couldn’t swim until receiving swim training in preparation for “The Swimmer”. Also, Michael Douglas stated on a later Oscar presentation that he had known Burt his entire life, lending to the close friends that Burt and Kirk actually were.

Two years later

I feel so sad that Bob Hope hasn't won an oscar.

daniel stanwyck Lancaster won it in 1961

This was the one that they didn't even make it to 2 hours long. Jerry Lewis jump up with the band, ab-lib some. One of his joke was they said Dean and me won't ever be on stage again. Dean was seen dancing with Sherily Jones he presented a award. All the winners and the presenter was on stage

Uou

Got that in one buddy

He was 103 when he passed away on February 5th

How was john Wayne sick and weakened????

The years and miles that he traveled, for the USO, to entertain the troops for decades, you could say he deployed as much as a Marine(please no disrespect, intended to all the other service members and their sacrifices)...as far as I'm concerned, Bob Hope gets a pass.

You must be crazy. Bob blows anything in this generation away. You obviously didn't get the pop culture references he was making to the time he was speaking of. Bob was brilliant!

John Wayne was never a racist,he married 3 black south American woman,all his children were half Latino,and his three daughters all married Latino men, doesn't sound like a man who was a racist,when he said that he believed in white supremacisty in the 1971 interview,he said UNTIL black were educated enough to take the responsibility on of being in office or in job,s,he never said "they can't be educated"or "we shouldn't educate black people" or" they can't be educated" ,he grew up in the dust bowl of America in 1915 to 1935 were black weren't educated,but THAT'S not john Wayne,s fault THAT,S the government,s fault,he just grew up in that era, and not one man , not a woman,not one black person ,has ever come forward and said my father or mother told me that when they worked with or knew john Wayne that he was racist, l have watched most of his movies and there are plenty of black people in them,he could never have made so many films with black people without be caught out being racist to them, your full of shit Keith, you're just listened to the media about the 1971 interview and taken it as true ,john Wayne wanted people to be educated so they could have a life,on the set of the searchers in 1955 he flew white,black children in his own plane back to Hollywood if they were sick or tired or missed their family members doesn't sound like a bigoted man to me, truth is your a arsehole
