Veteran actor (and the REAL Spartacus) Kirk Douglas presented the Best Supporting Actress last night at the Academy Awards show. As it happened, he outshone co-host James Franco who, despite the commercials showing him pumped-up and ready to go, seemed to be half-asleep the entire time.
Douglas is a class act all the way. At 94 years old he still has the magic, though it comes out a little slower and little less clearly (following a stoke he suffered several years ago.)
No doubt Douglas would have danced across the stage if he'd been able...and clearly folks would have loved to see him do it:
