In the wake of Kirk Douglas's death, Hollywood came together on social media to share tributes and memories of the late actor who died at age 103
After news spread of Douglas' death, other Hollywood stars took to social media to express their condolences for the late actor.
In a statement, Steven Spielberg expressed how "honored" he felt to have worked with the late actor. "Kirk retained his movie star charisma right to the end of his wonderful life and I’m honored to have been a small part of his last 45 years. I will miss his handwritten notes, letters and fatherly advice, and his wisdom and courage – even beyond such a breathtaking body of work – are enough to inspire me for the rest of mine," he said.
On Twitter, Rob Reiner also paid his respects to Douglas, who he described as an "icon." "Kirk Douglas will always be an icon in the pantheon of Hollywood. He put himself on the line to break the blacklist. My love goes out to my friend Michael and the whole family," he wrote. Ed Asner also took to Twitter to express his condolences: "I will always be in awe. May your memory forever be a blessing." “I wanted to be an actor ever since I was a kid in the second grade. I did a play, and my mother made a black apron, and I played a shoemaker. After the performance, [my father] gave me my first Oscar: an ice cream cone.” -Kirk Douglas
