Kirk Douglas leaves entire Fortune to charity

Respect

Snip:
The Mirror reported that the famous actor left $50million of his $60million fortune to the Douglas Foundation, which aims to "help those who cannot otherwise help themselves".

Some of the beneficiaries from his namesake foundation include St. Lawrence University, where they fund a scholarship for minority and underprivileged students and Westwood's Sinai Temple, which houses the Kirk and Anne Douglas Childhood Center.

The foundation also funds Culver City's Kirk Douglas Theatre, a live performance venue, and Children's Hospital Los Angeles.

thanks for the hearts. (Edit for another heart.)

I received one yesterday, and I received one (Wow! Make that two) 😆today. They were the highlight of each day. For the hearts, thanks from the bottom of mine. 💙
