Michael Douglas was born on September 25, 1944.

“Revenge is a very good motivation if you know how to use it. Healthy, very healthy.”

Who knows if his dual career as a successful actor and producer was actually motivated by revenge, the fact is that it is very similar to what his most famous character did, Gordon Gekko From Wall Street (1987), for which he won the Academy Award for Best Actor, 12 years after making his first film, namely flying over Cuckoo’s Nestalso won an Oscar for Best Picture.

Son of Art (his father Kirk Douglas From Spartacus AND Horizons of Glory), began his career between theater and cinema in the late 60s, but broke through on TV (the main character of the very successful TV series Streets of San Francisco

), and it was from the late 70s that he became a big screen star with Deep coma (1978)e Chinese syndrome (1979).

However, these were the 80s, the years when he was perhaps the most popular actor of that period, along with Stallone, Schwarzenegger AND Cruise, with names like In search of the green stone (1984), Chorus line (1985), above Wall Street (1987), Black rain (1989), War of the Roses (1989).

She is officially becoming a star with sexy and dark roles, combining three cults of the erotic thriller genre: Fatal attraction (1987, p. Glenn Close), The basic Instinct (1992, and the famous scene where Sharon Stone crosses legs), e Revelations (1994, now it’s time Demmy Moor). It is unknown whether he took advantage of the opportunity, but almost immediately after this he announced that he was addicted to sex (but left his wife Diandra to undergo detoxification in a clinic; he got married immediately after this). Catherine Zeta-Jones

!). The reason for his return to the clinic several years ago was much less pleasant: cancer, which, fortunately, seemed to be cured.

Except for the third episode of Marvelliana Ant-Man (in 2023), Michael looks set to make a career in television: after Kominsky method and Marvellian What if, Two long-awaited mini-series will be released soon: Reagan, Gorbachev and Franklin.
