Richard Harris Thanks Kirk Douglas For His Career

Class

The honesty of Richard Harris is one in a million

Love this guy great actor

Kirk Douglas is a part of my cinema, I hear Spartacus its Kirk Douglas.

Unfortunately he didn't know the backstory apparently Kirk had a little problem controlling himself with the ladies he was larger than life on screen I loved him too but now that I hear all the stories of how abusive they was I hope he rots in hell where there's smoke there's fire my friend and don't you ever forget that no matter what they tell you and I'm not talking about being an a**** or being a jerk or even a macho man I'm talking about sexual abuse physical abuse two people that are under your care and instruction just like parents are responsible for the upbringing of their children under standards of action

I would love to see the whole show. I also love Kirk Douglas.

You have to love this heartfelt tribute! Harris is the kind of person who knows exactly why he's there that night, and you just know he means every word of what he says!

Richard Harris looks like what John Lennon would have looked like had he gotten to grow old

I love how bold and emphatic he is with his accolade, rather than anything wet and simpering.

Wonderful story. Wow.

Two absolute legends, especially in comparison to the entitled wimps in Hollywood today.

Harris playing McCabe in Jim Sheridan’s The Field (1990). Washed up, renowned as an unreliable drunk, Harris sobered up and begged for the part. Got an Academy nod for it. A film that knows that land matters more than blood. John Hurt.

A gem.

This must have been 30 or so years ago.

Richard harris died in October 25 2002

Oh, Richard ...❤❤❤❤❤ he totally has me, always has.

Limerick OWN LEGEND SO PROUD OF HIM RIP RICHARD !

I love Richard Harris and, for me, it was all because of Camelot.

Kirk Douglass raped Nataly Wood that is why they cast him as a rapist in "In Harms Way"

It's amazing that saying 'thanks' costs nothing, but means so much. It also shows that being kind and generous need not be by means of money, but by both kind and decent words and actions. We need so much for of these values to play out in life. It's a lovely clip.

A master class on how to express gratitude.

A brilliant tribute from a master storyteller.

His son Jared has VERY similar mannerisms—voice, cadence, pacing—in his speech similar to his dad minus the accent, and he’s just as talented.

He had them all in his hands Irish men can tell stories

Boy oh boy, what a great story teller he was!

IS ‘Harris Breathing"

Loved the story of Harris been given the last rites by the priest and not regretting a minute of his life well lived.
That been said, whether he is above or below, we will never know.

The more clips I see of Harris, the more I wished I would have watched him closer..

Look at the garbage today people call actors and celebrities.

My Hero

I knew Richard Harri's Cousin a Jesuit Priest who lived in Limerick. every time Richard would come back to Limerick he always sought out Fr. Paddy and instead of saying hello he had the same greeting "Paddy are you still praying for me you're my only hope of getting into Heaven" Fr. Paddy lived to be age 99 so I am certain Richard made it into Heaven. I met him once in Limerick what an amazing story teller I just sat there listening and laughing at his stories.

RIP and long live Kirk Douglas (December 9, 1916 – February 5, 2020), aged 103
And
RIP and long live Richard Harris (October 1, 1930 – October 25, 2002), aged 72
You both will always be remembered as legends.

What a cool dude!

So heartfelt and genuine. Love this man.

Some man, we need another Harris

Men

A man called horse

Pure Class, that you don't see today

A room full of legends in awe of the geezer !

Loved him, lived him, a class act, a maverick,authentic, no bs, what you saw was what you got!

When those rooms at award shows used to be filled with talent and giants. Never again.

Kudos to Mr. Kirk Douglas; legendary movie star & rapist.
Shalom aleichem & lchaim.

His story about his childhood makes no sense. Harris was born in 1930, Douglas didn't have his first major role until 1947.

Humility and gratefulness is always classy. Always.

Nice heartfelt appreciation. .... Apparently Harris had NO IDEA that Kirk Douglas had raped Natalie Wood when she was a minor or would have spit in his face instead. She was 17 and desperately seeking a screen test when Douglas lured Her to his office with his Big Star status and a bag of FALSE promises then raped her. ... Always remember him as a totally evil POS.

I have got movie DVDS of
Richard Harris Roger Moore
Richard Burton Stewart Grainger
in The Wild Geese
Richard Harris Kirk Douglas
and Michael Redgrave in
The Heroes Of Telemark
I am dedicating these movie DVDS to my old school friends who are both sisters as I hope to see them both again very soon to Chris and Hester from Billyxxxxx

Amazing, that is true integrity. But anyone who has read the Ragman's Son knows what a man Kirk was.

You can always tell the stature of a man's character by how humbly & generously he thanks those before him for his success & career. James Cagney is another such giant.
