Rest in peace, Anne Douglas. The widow of Kirk Douglas and stepmother of Michael Douglas has died at 102, ET confirms.
Anne died peacefully at home in Beverly Hills on Thursday. Her death comes just over a year after Kirk died in February 2020. He was 103.
“My father could never keep a secret. Anne was just the opposite, Michael said in a statement. That’s why I was so moved when I read their co-authored book,
Kirk and Anne, in which she talked about her early life in Germany; her war years in occupied Paris; and her career before she met my father. She also included their private correspondence, which gave me new insights into their courtship and marriage.
