Back when Jamie Lee Curtis was a little girl, her parents, Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh, were close friends with Kirk Douglas. They would even invite him over for parties. At one of those family affairs, Douglas saved the little girl’s life. The actress shared that story to commemorate his death on Thursday.
Kirk and Anne were important to BOTH my parents. Here in The Vikings with both Tony and Janet. I just remembered this morning that Kirk saved my life when I rode my tricycle into the pool at a party and he dove in and brought me up from the bottom, still peddling. I was in school with their son, Eric who they lost in 2004. Tony lost his son, Nicholas in 1994. Families tied together in life and success and loss and struggle, past and present. Kirk is an example for us ALL. COURAGE.
INTEGRITY.
GENEROSITY.
Their foundation link is in my website. See the work that they did for others. The playgrounds they built. Join them and me and honoring his legacy.
Thankfully, he was there to save her life that day. The world is a better place with her in it. She is positive force for women to age naturally, and so much more.
