Born 9 December 1916, the quintessential American action hero of the 1950s, Kirk Douglas remained one of the most bankable stars of Hollywood throughout the decade. Regarded as one of the greatest actors of classic Hollywood cinema, he was a man of many talents. #KirkDouglas

One of the greats, actor director John Cassavetes would have turned 96 today. One of lesser-known efforts: the 1959-1960 tv show Johnny Staccato where he plays a jazz pianist who is also a private detective.

John Cassavetes #botd was a visionary, and a progenitor of modern American independent cinema. His films place an emphasis on intimate character examination rather than plot, backstory, or stylization...
