One of the elements of this film I’m proudest of is that I think it helped Kirk and Michael find a new, even deeper common ground in their relationship.

HBD to the legitimately legendary #KirkDouglas. Get an inside look at his life and legacy in @TheLeeGrant’s “definitive” (@nytimes) doc on his dynasty.

Angela Lansbury had a great talent. We’re all lucky that so much of it was captured on film.

Marsha was a great talent and a good friend. Her time on the Blacklist, and the longevity of that damage, still infuriates me. But she gave so much of herself to the screen, performances we’ll have forever.

Turns out is still the only acting Oscar winner to direct an Oscar winning Doc.
Maybe more stars need to point a camera at the big problems
Use. Your. Platforms.
Great detail .

@TheLeeGrant is it true you were in contention in 1970 to play Elizabeth I in Mary Queen of Scots, which Glenda Jackson played reprising her role from television?

We’d discussed Cloris Leachman’s role, but Cloris was beyond incredible and so so right for it. She’s so brave in that film.

Hal was a genius. Simply genius.
Quote Tweet
Hal Ashby had a strong knack for small performances that don’t dominate the film. Lee Grant in Shampoo for one, a very funny role dialed into the tone. Also think separate from the Oscar, Melvyn Douglas is very good in Being There. But winning over Duvall, heavy anchor to carry
