BrunoBrimley 86 Posted December 11, 2014 I am more than a little surprised to find that he's still alive! So many times it seemed he would depart. Even his son appeared ready to depart and then rallied round the flagpole until he regained his strength. 98? Wowsa! Gotta admire him for his stamina and ability to keep alive through all these years, may he have a few more! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sean 6,316 Posted December 11, 2014 I hope so too!98 is still a great age though and although I can see him making 100, it is difficult to predict the lifespan of the seriously old as any accident or infection can escalate quickly at that age (unless you are Zsa Zsa).Who reckons Zsa Zsa will outlive Kirk?

Yea I have a feeling she will , btw for 98 he is still quite active looking. Just looking at him i would say he was in his 70s though his voice gives him away to be very old aged.

maryportfuncity 10,646 Posted January 3, 2015 I think Zsa Zsa may go before Kirk, but both are good picks this year. Highly fancied if you look at the tonnage of dead pool selections for both. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
torbrexbones 717 Posted January 3, 2015 With Kirk and Zsa Zsa, it is not a case of whether to pick them or not, it is more a case of dare you leave them off your list! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr. Zorders 1,271 Posted January 5, 2015 http://www.etonline...._legendary_dad/ - from November. This is not someone who looks to be shuffling off anytime soon. Are you kidding? I'm sorry but all the guy does is shuffle at his age....... There's something very wrong about a 98 year old man...... with a pony tail�� It does make you wonder if he suddenly has lots of opinions about comic books and Star Wars movies these days.

gcreptile 10,970 Posted April 10, 2015 Last week, he decided that the book he published at his 98th birthday won't be the last: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/kirk-douglas/a-letter-and-a-challenge-to-huffpost-readers_b_6995634.html The new book is meant to be created through an exchange with his readers. He wants them to write real letters, not emails, to him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CaptainChorizo 1,982 Posted July 8, 2015 I wonder if one of the things keeping him alive was being able to dance on his ex wifes grave. Bookmakers just lowered his odds to reach 100. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paulh85 101 Posted July 8, 2015 I wonder if one of the things keeping him alive was being able to dance on his ex wifes grave. Bookmakers just lowered his odds to reach 100. are there actually odds for that sort of thing? I think he will make it personally. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GossipGabe 333 Posted July 8, 2015 I wonder if one of the things keeping him alive was being able to dance on his ex wifes grave. Bookmakers just lowered his odds to reach 100. Most of the obituaries mentioned that they parted on amicable terms, played in a family film together etc. I don't think he is happy that she died although I might be wrong. But at the age of 98 and a half, he has good chances to reach 100. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They got on even after the split and even acted together in It Runs in the family so I don`t think he will be pleased she has gone. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
