Kirk Douglas, one of the prominent actors of all times, celebrated his 101st birthday on December 9th, 2017. The actor confessed he hadn’t thought he would live to this age. His greatest achievements are a vivid proof that Douglas did everything right.

I worked on a speech. But I can never follow you.
