Michael Douglas
Michael Douglas was a prducer of One Flew Over
The Cuckoo's Nest. Kirk Douglas had bought the rights hoping
to play the lead McMurphy. After passing the production rights
to his son, Michael decided his Dad was too old to play McMurphy
and in the end Jack Nicholson was cast. Apparently Kirk Douglas
was angry with his son for quite a while after that.
Anyway, away from Michael Douglas the producer
to Michael Douglas the actor. Romancing The Stone and Jewel
Of The Nile are excellent entertainment movies, but, in my
opinion, it was Fatal Attraction and Wall Street where we
really began to see the depth of Michael's talent. And then
Basic Instinct a massive box-office success where Michael
starred with the georgeous and sexy Sharon Stone. You have
to hand it to Michael Douglas, he has a great nose for potent
scripts, because Disclosure, a movie based on Michael Crichton's
novel, is brilliant. Michael Douglas plays a man subjected
to sexual harassment by his boss, played by Demi Moore. I
love that film and Douglas's and Moore's performances are
excellent. And I must mention Traffic, where Michael Douglas
starred with his wife Catherine Zeta Jones...

The Hollywood Movie History
The greats of the silent movie period included
Rudolf Valentino, Mary Pickford, Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton,
Laurel & Hardy and a whole host of stars whose talents live
on in the many characters they portrayed. Jean Harlow is perhaps
the most successful of the stars who began their career in the
silent era and whose star continued in ascendancy into the talkies.
The western film genre has been the birth place for many great
film stars, not least of which is the Great John Wayne. Blockbuster
movies dominated the 80's and 90's with Silvester Stallone,
Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis competing for the title
greatest action hero of them all... and then Matt Damon brought
Ludlum's character Jason Bourne to life all too vividly and
a whole new action hero was born.
And, although great women's roles are still all to rare, Vivien
Leigh's Scarlet O'Hara in Gone With The Wind, Marilyn Monroe's
Sugar Kane in Some Like It Hot, Grace Kelly as Tracy Lord in
High Society, Michelle Pfeifer in the Baker Boys and Julie Roberts
in Erin Brockovich are just a few great and memorable perfomances
I have experience by women in the movies...
