“Michael [Douglas] was just leaving the TV series The Streets of San Francisco and he said, 'Dad, let me try it.' I thought, 'Well, if I couldn't make it...' So, I gave it to him and he got the money, the director and the cast. The biggest disappointment for me, I always wanted to play McMurphy. They got a young actor, Jack Nicholson. I thought, 'Oh God. He will be terrible.' Then I saw the picture and, of course, he was great in it! That was my biggest disappointment that turned out to be one of the things I'm most proud of because my son Michael did it. I couldn't do it, but Michael did it.” IfsTryingWellsSaidPlayWantedYoungCoursesActorsSawsStreetsSonTvsProudDadTerribleDirectorsLet MeSeriesLeavingCastsDisappointmentMy SonSan FranciscoTv SeriesYoung ActorsNicholsonMcmurphy Author:Kirk Douglas
“What I have most learned from my son is to respect him and to love him unconditionally. I believe that if parents respect their children and educate them with love and justice (and not just with words, but with their own behavior) the relationship with their children will be wonderful. Then parents will always be proud of their children, and children will always be proud of their parents. There will be peace in the family, and the home will be a sanctuary.” IfsBelieveChildrenHomeI BelieveParentJusticeWonderfulSonProudBehaviorMy SonEducateBe ProudSanctuary Author:Miguel Angel Ruiz
