say oh i'm like. i don't want to be. on my life. i want to hear people call me mr. the son of russian jewish immigrants douglas sport hard to reach the top even working as a firm ground to pay for acting lessons he appeared in more than 80 films and his cleft chin became his trademark doctors enjoyed playing villains and characters on the edge after being nominated 3 times he was finally given an oscar award for lifetime achievement in 1996 o u n i planned. a touching tribute from his son actor michael douglas dad i love you so much and i'm so proud to be your son the last hero of hollywood's golden age has passed away at the age of 103. margaret kruger now i mean what a star what a life and wonderful words from his. son michael douglas yes he was the one who in the death of his father. on facebook. he wasn't. the distractable hero he's about if the 2nd world war a helicopter crash and a stroke handwritten 3 years old what a fighter and what to quote his son from facebook to him and. gave just this private glimpse of the family life that was so touching for me. because we knew that the relationship between the father and the son was always a little bit complicated. basis that he would never let his son win even when michael shouted. when he followed his footsteps as an actor this was a bit of a challenge but in the end this claim to be just proud of him so they had a really strong bond. a typical sort of matinee idol as they were called in those days you know he was a very good looking man but he did every hole about him not with his son he didn't compromise the toll road of never never career. and he never chose the easiest way you know especially in the beginning of his career it wasn't easy to work with him he had the reputation of being particularly difficult he certainly was not one of those who gets told what to do he argued a lot he followed a lot he was. so incredibly talented so he had refused a 7 year contract with the hollywood studio because he didn't know want to be enslaved. he turned down lucrative roles and preferred the challenges of the difficult films he fought his way up from the bottom and because of his tough childhood he felt so comfortable with characters who face struggles even if they were insane of villains what he just loved the bad guys and as we see in the public he just showed his overwhelming charm ok. actually he didn't compromise again when it was more serious stuff i mean he was a producer sponsor because in that film something i mean something that could have destroyed his career it's all absolutely absolutely so he wasn't any one of hollywood's biggest activists and greatest actors he was also one of the biggest risk takers for spot because he not only played the lead role maybe the biggest in his career he was also the producer and he hyatt dalton trumbo screenwriter who was on hollywood's blacklist of activists and musicians you know it was right in the era of make car see the on to communist era and those people were taught to be coming to sympathize with prevented for working and that was maybe the biggest fight of douglas career douglas just decided that the how with it i'm going to hire him. and he took the huge risk and that was such a brave step and could have meant the end of his career but in the end it was the end of the blacklist believe sorry and i mean amazing he never got an oscar as we saw from the mid you individual from but thankfully the academy award did owner him with an ornery 1996 michael as always thanks very much for joining us today

done with a kind of knowing and that's what makes looking at these photos so much fun. after her mother's death in an airplane crash. she going to mccartney avoided the air travel when possible. so she did a lot of photographing while traveling by car she took her camera with her everywhere and documented private lives as well as the world outside. little by the 1970 s. she'd stopped taking
