Kirk Douglas

Kirk Douglas was an actor who starred in the film The Vikings (TV: Empress of Mars) and the film Spartacus. (PROSE: The Slave War, The Romans)

When she met the real Spartacus in 71 BC, Polly Wright thought that he was nothing like Douglas but that he was nevertheless "a bit of a dish" with his long dark hair and the wicked look in his eye. (PROSE: The Slave War)

When Ian Chesterton was forced to fight Delos as a gladiator, he felt his situation was similar to Douglas's character's in Spartacus and recalled how in the film the two combatants spared one another's lives and successfully turned on their captors. (PROSE: The Romans)

Bernice Summerfield described Dent Harper as having "a Kirk Douglas chin." (PROSE: The Joy Device)
