Issur Danielovitch Demsky. HIs parents were Russian Jewish immigrants. His father's family name was Danielovitch, but one of his uncles had changed his name to Demsky so the family started using that name after Issur was born. He studied acting in college and legal changed his name to Kirk Douglas. He didn't begin his professional acting career until he left the Navy in 1943.

His parents were Jewish immigrants from the Russian Empire, but not from Russia itself. His relatives still live in the Mahilyou region of Belarus.

Not to mention : Natalja Nikolajevna Zacharenko, Allan Konigsberg, Melvin Chaminsky, Anna Maria Louisa Italiano, Maurice Wicklewhite, Ilyena Lydia Vasilievna Mironov and Michael Douglas.;)

Anyway, with Kirk Douglas, one of the last great actors from 'The Golden Age of Cinema' has gone!:oops:

Which I finally got to see just a few weeks ago. Before I’d only read about scenes like this one.

I've always loved that scene. Can you imagine the terror of that German girl with all those lecherous men cheering for her? Sort of like being transported into a CF story. But then she sings that ballad and the men are so touched.

19th century German Folk Song
"Der treue Husar"
"The Faithful Hussar"

A faithful soldier, without fear,
He loved his girl for one whole year,
For one whole year and longer yet,
His love for her, he'd ne'er forget.

This youth to foreign land did roam,
While his true love, fell ill at home.
Sick unto death, she no one heard.
Three days and nights she spoke no word.

And when the youth received the news,
That his dear love, her life may lose,
He left his place and all he had,
To see his love, went this young lad...

Oh Mother, bring forth a light,
My darling dies, I do not see,
That was indeed a faithful hussar,
He loves his girl a whole year.

And when he came to the heart,
Very softly, she gave him her hand,
The whole hand and much more,
Love never came to an end.

"Greetings, greetings, my dearest!
What are you doing alone in bed?"
"Thanks, thanks, my faithful lad!
With me it will soon be in the grave."

"Greetings, greetings, my fine boy.
Let me go to the cool grave."
"Oh no, oh no, my dear child,
Because we are so in love. "

"Oh no, oh no, not so fast,
Because we are two lovers;
Oh no, oh no, my heart tells me,
The love and faith must last longer."

He took her in his arms to hold,
She was not warm, forever cold.
Oh quick, oh quick, bring light to me,
Else my love dies, no one will see...

And when the maid had died,
Then he puts on the funeral.
Where do I get six young boys,
My dearly beloved?

Pallbearers we need two times three,
Six farmhands they are so heavy.
It must be six of soldiers brave,
To carry my love to her grave.

A long black coat, I must now wear.
A sorrow great, is what I bear.
A sorrow great and so much more,
My grief it will end nevermore.

A wonderfully powerful ending to a superb film.

Yes, I'll admit I wouldn't have been sure he was still around up to just now,
for me he was a figure of the (fairly recent) past, the post-war years.
As the tributes say, his works live on.
The trouble is, literary criticism as an academic discipline has become absurdly arcane,
Steiner's approach has been deeply unfashionable, and those in other disciplines -
politics, philosophy, history, any of the humanities - who ought to read him,
are barely aware of him or his relevance to them.

You may enjoy this, from of all places the Wall Street Journal in 2013. I did read some of Kafka's stuff and "Im Westen Nichts Neues" in German, and they made an impression on me (as did Moby Dick), but basically I have the soul of an engineer and don't have much use for literature.

Thanks Frank - yes, I relate to quite a lot of what he says (unfortunately the text is a bit mangled, the ends of lines missing, but it's a good exercise in predictive reading). Good to see his reference to Lionel Trilling, another very wise, though humanly flawed, literary critic of the 'liberal arts' tradition.

They were married soon after filming. Christiane Susanne Kubrick, she is a rather renowned painter in her own right. Still living in the Home Counties, I believe. She came from a theatrical family (her uncle was the infamous film director Veit Harlan . In 1940 he made Jud Süß, regarded as the most anti semitic film ever made. Christiane, of course had nothing to do with her uncle's work),
