Let's Face It: 90 Years of Living, Loving, and Learning

Kirk, you are the best and you are very very lucky to have a family that loves you and cherishes you and the two Kirk's will never forget your talks with them. This book is a must to read. Mr. Douglas is a very modest man. The love for his wife Ann and the love for all his Children and Grandchildren makes you want to cry. It is so beautifully written and so very true. In an era that most Hollywood marriages end with a drop of a hat, their love never died. It is a true love story of an American Actor. We should all takes lessons from them. Keep up the good work Mr. Douglas you are the BEST!!!!

An easy, enjoyable read. Kirk injects political opinion into his writing but considering his long life of meeting many people and visiting many places, it’s understandable that a 90 year has earned the right to say whatever’s on his mind on any issue. I was hoping for more Hollywood “behind-the-scenes” discussion, but he does discuss Hollywood friendships.

If i could give this book 100stars it still would not be enough.I am so exhausted with emotion I know I won't be able to give this book justice, so before I go on I must say YOU MUST,MUST READ THIS BOOK AND THEN GIVE IT TO ALL THE LOVED ONES IN YOUR LIFE,after you read it you will know why. This man/actor/icon is so much more. I am 61 years old and after reading this book I can now say and feel I know more about love,life,and the importance of life than ever before and all from this 90yr old profit. I say this with the utmost respect to all the profits we have carried in our hearts and minds. Your going to have to add Mr Douglas to that list. I will but this book along side my bible and refer to it at God's direction because I know he has given it to me at this time in my life,suffering from and incurable disease as a additional tool to use and guide me to never give up. I know this is a very unusual review but I hope that the message is clear to those who ever hesitated to pick up this book. God bless you Mr.Douglas and may your family hold tight to the gift they have been given. NAMASTE

KIRK DOUGLAS, WHAT CAN I SAY. HE IS AN AMAZING MAN. I AM VERY PROUD TO HAVE BOUGHT THIS BOOK AND ALSO HIS OTHER BOOK ' A STROKE OF LUCK". SUCH A HUMBLE READ. JUST BEING ALIVE IS A TRUE GIFT AND BEING ABLE TO OVERCOME LIFES TROUBLES AND STRIVES AS MUCH AS YOU CAN. WHAT A FINE EXAMPLE MR DOUGLAS HAS SET FOR US ALL. LOVE TO YOU, MR DOUGLAS AND THANKS FOR WRITING THESE TWO BEAUTIFUL BOOKS. ENJOYED THEM VERY MUCH

I have loved each and every book , that was written by Kirk Douglas, not because he was an actor, but because of the subject matter. I love his sense of humor even at his own expense. His love for his family is palpable. I am very glad that I had the opportunity to read it.

I really enjoy Mr. Douglas' writing. He he a flair for poetry. Then the book becomes very Jewish. I have no problem with holidays. But then it is too much information. I am glad he lived a long life . He loves his family and worries about his grandchildren. We all make mistakes along the way in life...our children never fully understand our good and bad choices. There are no reruns in life.

This is the second book, by Kirk, that I've read. No fancy writhing here, just a great conversation, with a witty and thoughtful Kirk Douglas!

After making so many wonderful movies, Mr Douglas has written a lot of books as well - maybe something like 10 or 12. I've read at least 3 or 4 of his books now. But by the time you read this one, you realize he had no shortage of ego. Now we all have egos, but sometimes you need to put a lid on it. At least for awhile. That's one thing Mr Douglas could never master. And I think he gives himself way too much credit on breaking the blacklist for writers and directors in Hollywood. But hey. Forget it. It's Hollywood...

This is a follow up that brings you up todate from Kirks first autobiography The Ragmans Son.....not as in depth as his original but still engrossing and some nice fotos of himself and his family. Totally loved this book and now wanting another of Kirks books about his stroke....Would totally endorse this book to anyone who likes Kirk Douglas or reading about the lives of the great Hollywood stars. A 5 star read that you can read again and again and again. A total insight and easy read into the Douglas family.

A slim tome of some remembrances by Douglas of his life past and present. He is still quite lucid at 92 and you can feel his pain as he waxes philosophical about his mortality and of the many others who have passed before him. He says this is his last book but it reads more like a blog so I wouldn't be surprised if he had another one in him. He is one of the last living legends of the silver screen so catch this book while the old lion is still alive and it will be all that more rewarding knowing he is still around.

Amazing Book. Echt starkes Buch über das Leben von Kirk Douglas. Vieles was man noch nicht kennt über diesen tollen Schauspieler und Mensch.

came as described - no issues

I'd always liked Kirk Douglas as an actor. Now having read 'Let's Face It' I leaned about the man as I liked what I read. Kirk Douglas was old Holywood and an intelligent and sensitive man which I suppose was a rarity in tinsel town. Next time I see him in a film I shall watch him with a different perspective. A good actor, a good man. I wish I had met him. But ill do the next best thing and get his first autobiography.
