Prophet 251 Posted February 9, 2020 How many major actors who served in WW2 are actually alive now after the death of Kirk Douglas? For Germany it would be easy with Hardy Krüger Sr. (who is also international quiet famous) but the only famous living american actor I could think of who served in WW2 is Dick van Dyke, but he did only stateside service. After about 10 seconds of thinking Mel Brooks, Sidney Poitier and Harry Belafonte came also into my mind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There does exist a helpful reference in the Wiki page of notable surviving World War II veterans. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just doubt there’s many siblings both born in the 1910s and died in the 2020s, so I find it especially interesting that a household name like Kirk Douglas and his sister did. The odds of that must be astronomically small Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
