Together, Douglas and Kirk had two sons: Peter, 65, and Eric, who died in 2004 at age 46. She was also stepmother to actor Michael Douglas, 76, and producer Joel Douglas, 74, Kirk s children with first wife Diana Douglas. (She died in 2015.)
Michael said his stepmother will always be in our hearts. She brought out the best in all of us, especially our father, the actor said in a statement to the Associated Press. Dad would never have had the career he did without Anne’s support and partnership.
Kirk admitted so himself. He once said, I often wonder what would have happened to me if I hadn’t married Anne. I might not have survived without her business acumen and her finely-honed instincts.
