Timeline

1916

Born in Los Angeles, California, Douglas was the youngest son of actor Kirk Douglas (1916–2020) and German American mother Anne Buydens (1919–2021).

His father was Jewish and his mother later converted to Judaism.

Douglas was the youngest son of actor Kirk Douglas and his second wife Anne Buydens.

His half brother was actor and producer Michael Douglas.

Douglas pursued a career in show business but did not attain the same level of success as his father and siblings.

His career was overshadowed by his numerous run-ins with the law and problems with alcohol and drugs.

1960

A member of the audience then stood up and shouted, "No, I'm Kirk Douglas' son," referring to the iconic "I'm Spartacus" scene of the 1960 film starring Kirk Douglas.

This ended up with the majority of the audience standing up and repeating the line.

1971

Douglas made his screen debut in 1971 in A Gunfight, starring his father and Johnny Cash.

1980

He appeared in several films in the 1980s including The Flamingo Kid (1985), Tomboy (1985), The Golden Child (1986), and Honor Bound (1988).

In 1982, Douglas appeared in the NBC television film Remembrance of Love, also starring his father.

Douglas portrayed a younger version of his father's character in flashback scenes.

1990

In the early 1990s, Douglas attempted a career as a stand-up comedian.

He performed in New York City comedy clubs with much of his self-deprecating material coming from his status as the black sheep of the Douglas dynasty.

Douglas entered British comedy folklore when, during a stand-up performance at The Comedy Store, London, he was angered by the audience's reaction to his stand-up routine.

In a moment that would lead to club co-founder Don Ward saying he had "died on his arse", Douglas shouted "You can't do this to me, I'm Kirk Douglas's son!"

Douglas was arrested multiple times throughout the 1990s.

1991

In 1991, Douglas appeared with his father (in the senior Douglas's Emmy-nominated performance) in "Yellow", the Season 3 finale of the television series Tales from the Crypt.

The father and son acting duo portrayed father and son characters with Eric a young officer in World War I brought up on charges of cowardice by his commanding general who is also his cold-hearted father.

One of his first arrests came in 1991 for kicking a Beverly Hills police officer.

1994

On October 30, 1994, Douglas was arrested in Los Angeles for cocaine possession.

1996

In May 1996, Douglas was arrested for possession of a controlled substance when police found eleven vials of crack cocaine and 1,085 Xanax pills in his Hell's Kitchen, Manhattan apartment.

In August 1996, he was arrested in Long Beach, California, for driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol.

Two days later, Douglas was arrested in New Canaan, Connecticut, for disorderly conduct after he attempted to kiss a young girl who was a fellow patient at Silver Hill Hospital, a rehab facility he was in at the time.

1997

2000

In 2000, Douglas revealed in an interview that he went into an eight-day coma in 1999 after accidentally overdosing on Xanax.

Douglas recalled, "I was in L.A. sitting around my breakfast table with my dad and I choked on a piece of sausage. But because the pills had taken effect, I was not able to dislodge the sausage from my throat."

After the Douglases' maid attempted the Heimlich maneuver, Douglas was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center where he fell into a coma.

Due to an anoxic brain injury, his speech became slurred and his gait was altered.

2001

In May 2001, Douglas sued his former psychiatrist, Dr. William Leader, claiming that Leader prescribed him a combination of prescription drugs that are lethal when combined with alcohol.

Douglas asserted that Leader, who had been treating Douglas for his drug addictions for ten years, failed to consider his alcohol problem when he prescribed Vicodin, Klonopin, and Xanax.
