Participation Badge for this challenge.

Tasks:
1. Douglas was born Issur Danielovitch on December 9, 1916 in Amsterdam, New York. His parents were Jewish immigrants from Chavusy, Mogilev Region, in the Russian Empire (present-day Belarus). His father's brother, who immigrated earlier, used the surname Demsky, which Douglas's family adopted in the United States. Douglas grew up as Izzy Demsky and legally changed his name to Kirk Douglas before entering the United States Navy during World War II.
🎬 Read a book published in December OR with a Jewish character OR with a character that is in the Navy OR set during WWII.

2. After the war, Douglas returned to New York City and found work in radio, theater and commercials. Douglas had planned to remain a stage actor, until his friend, Lauren Bacall, helped him get his first film role by recommending him to producer Hal B. Wallis, who was looking for a new male talent. Wallis's film, The Strange Love of Martha Ivers (1946), with Barbara Stanwyck, became Douglas's debut screen appearance. He played a young, insecure man, stung with jealousy, whose life was dominated by his ruthless wife, and he hid his feelings with alcohol.
🎬 Read a book with a woman's name in the title OR with a young, insecure man, stung with jealousy in the story OR where a character finally gets to break into the career they want.

3. Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, Douglas was a major box-office star, playing opposite some of the leading actresses of that era. He considered Lonely Are the Brave (1962), in which he plays a cowboy trying to live by his own code, as his personal favorite.
🎬 Read a book by a favorite author OR with a 1, 2, 6, or 9 in the page count (Tell us the count) OR with a cowboy as a prominent character.

4. In 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1954), Douglas showed that in addition to serious, driven characters, he was adept at roles requiring a lighter, comic touch. In this adaptation of the Jules Verne novel, he played a happy-go-lucky sailor who was the opposite in every way to the brooding Captain Nemo (James Mason). The film was one of Walt Disney's most successful live-action movies and a major box-office hit.
🎬 Read 20000 Leagues Under the Sea (BONUS BADGE) OR another book by Jules Verne (BONUS BADGE) OR a book from Books Turned Into Disney Movies.

5. Between 1970 and 2008, Douglas made nearly 40 movies and appeared on various television shows. In 1986, he co-hosted (with Angela Lansbury) the New York Philharmonic's tribute to the 100th anniversary of the Statue of Liberty. He appeared as the Devil in the video for the Don Henley song "The Garden of Allah".
🎬 Read a book where a character acts, produces or directs movies or TV shows OR with Statue of Liberty on the cover (show cover) OR where a character makes a music video.

6. Bryna Productions was a film production company established by Kirk Douglas in 1955, inspired by the success of Burt Lancaster in moving into production. Named after Douglas' mother, Bryna Demsky, the company went on to produce 20 films between 1955 and 1986.
🎬 Read a book where a character starts their own business OR from a series that has at least 20 books (Tell us the series) OR whose title has a word that is also in the title of one of the films that Bryna Productions made.

7. Kirk wrote The Ragman's Son, Climbing The Mountain: My Search For Meaning and Kirk and Anne: Letters of Love, Laughter, and a Lifetime in Hollywood to name a few.
🎬 Read a book by Kirk Douglas.

8. Douglas and his first wife, Diana Dill, married on November 2, 1943. They had two sons, actor Michael Douglas and producer Joel Douglas, before divorcing in 1951. Afterwards, in Paris, he met producer Anne Buydens (born Hannelore Marx; April 23, 1919, Hanover, Germany) while acting on location in Lust for Life. She originally fled from Germany to escape Nazism and survived by putting her multilingual skills to work at a film studio, doing translations for subtitles. They married on May 29, 1954. They had two sons, Peter, a producer, and Eric, an actor who died on July 6, 2004, from an overdose of alcohol and drugs.
🎬 Read a book where a character escapes the Nazis OR with a character that has sons (no daughters) OR where a character dies from alcohol or drugs.

9. Douglas and his wife, Anne, made donations to his former high school and college, which established a scholarship fund. He donated to various schools, medical facilities and other non-profit organizations in southern California. These have included the rebuilding of over 400 Los Angeles Unified School District playgrounds that were aged and in need of restoration. They established the Anne Douglas Center for Homeless Women at the Los Angeles Mission, which has helped hundreds of women turn their lives around. In Culver City, they opened the Kirk Douglas Theatre in 2004. They supported the Anne Douglas Childhood Center at the Sinai Temple of Westwood. In March 2015, Kirk and his wife donated $2.3 million to the Children's Hospital Los Angeles.
Since the early 1990s Kirk and Anne Douglas donated to Harry's Haven, an Alzheimer's treatment facility in Woodland Hills, to care for patients at the Motion Picture Home. To celebrate his 99th birthday in December 2015, they donated another $15 million to help expand the facility with a new two-story Kirk Douglas Care Pavilion.
🎬 Read a book where a person in need goes to a shelter or gets a scholarship OR where a character supports a charity.

10. On January 28, 1996, he suffered a severe stroke, which impaired his ability to speak. Doctors told his wife that unless there was rapid improvement, the loss of the ability to speak was likely permanent. After a regime of daily speech-language therapy that lasted several months, his ability to speak returned, although it was still limited.
In 2016, he celebrated his 100th birthday at the Beverly Hills Hotel, and was described as being still in good shape, able to walk with confidence into the Sunset Room for the celebration.
Douglas died at his home in Beverly Hills, California, on February 5, 2020, at age 103 from natural causes.
🎬 Read a book where a character has a stroke OR celebrates their 100th birthday OR passes away OR a book published in February 2020.
