BEFORE I FORGET  (2009)  ¢ ¢ ¢

    Kirk Douglas
Kirk Douglas at 92, in a one-man show he wrote and performed several years after a debilitating stroke. There's an element of movie-star vanity in this, but it's also a revealing (and not always flattering) self-portrait by a guy who's been acting in films longer than most of us can remember. At an age when a lot of folks are doing well to be breathing, Douglas isn't just still on his feet, he's dancing. He even throws in a little homemade verse now and then, though the odds he'll be named poet laureate any time soon are probably not too good.
