Kirk Douglas, the legendary actor that died yesterday, was a true icon who began his epic run in the mid-1940s with films including "The Strange Love of Martha Ivers" and "Mourning Becomes Electra" and who owned the '50s and '60s, formed a great partnership with Burt Lancaster and earning three best-actor Oscar nominations (but never won).
Douglas worked well into his twilight years, including a starring role opposite son Michael, ex-wife Diana and grandson Cameron in "It Runs in the Family" in 2003.
