KIRK DOUGLAS (1916-2020), considered by many to be the epitome of the Hollywood hard man, made his film debut in The Strange Love of Martha Ivers in 1946. Three years later, he received his first Academy Award nomination for Champion (1949). Douglas, who received two other Oscar nominations, for The Bad and the Beautiful(1952) and Lust for Life (1956), both directed by Vincente Minnelli, also appeared in Spartacus (1960), Lonely Are the Brave (1962), The List of Adrian Messenger (1963), Seven Days in May (1964), In Harm's Way (1965) and numerous other feature and made-for-television films. In addition to his film work, which was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award by the American Film Institute in 1991 and an honorary Oscar by the Academy in 1995, Douglas has published two novels and an autobiography, The Ragman's Son (1988). Though he continued to appear in films, by the '80s Douglas began volunteering much of his time to civic affairs. Since 1963, he worked as a Goodwill Ambassador and, in 1981, his many contributions earned him the highest civilian award given in the U.S. - the Presidential Medal of Freedom.  Austrian-born actress SENTA BERGER (b. 1941) made several American films in the 1960s (The Poppy is Also a Flower, Cast a Giant Shadow, The Quiller Memorandum), and a few in later years (Cross of Iron, 1977), but she is much better known in Europe, where she has starred in many German-and Italian-language films and - in recent years - German TV series. She has been married since 1966 to German director/producer Michael Verhoeven, and formed the production company Sentana with him. Since 2003, Berger has been President of the German Film Academy, and she has sat on many international film juries. Her 2006 autobiography sold briskly. Lightly toned. Corners slightly worn and creased. Slight surface creases and dents (not evident head on). Otherwise, fine condition.
