Growing up in Chicago, every Saturday night was "Kup's Show". Irv Kupcinet was sort of a Gossip columnist (started in 1943) who worked for the Sun-Times newspaper. Everyone who was anyone (show-biz, politics, etc.) would find their way to Kup's Show. The golden age of TV. Kup can be found on UA-cam.
Absolutely ! Also, they didn't pre-script them back then. Today, every question, answer, and "spontaneous comment" is rehearsed word for word before hand. Absolute garbage now days.
Kirk Douglas never trashed John Wayne in spite of repeated invitation by interviewer to do so, while making clear they don't share common views. Great guy.

Kirk Douglas was very overated I prefer Lee Marvin
Man the old tymers had so much damn class. He handled the question so professionally and still gave John Wayne his props despite not having the same views as him.
@@tcb9775 His career wasn't on the line. By this point in his career, Kirk Douglas could pick and choose what he wanted and basically commanded Hollywood. He just had class which the film stars today do not.
He gave Wayne props even though Wayne should have been drawn and quartered for his racism. And Wayne does NOT deserve the acclaim and accolades he has accrued over the years. He's a white supremacist prick!

Douglass wasnt impacted by Waynes comments. Natives were. Many natives and non-whites didnt have a voice and those that did were forced to remain polite despite their anger at such opinions, because they would be seen as rude for rightfully having anger at such comments that eere false and contradictory to their experiences.
@@albertbarese4170 No of course, it is. The point I'm trying to make though, is that people who arent directly impacted by such conflicts can afford to be polite and civil much more easily than those who are directly impacted by them.
Kirk Douglas was a constant compelling actor who was committed to his beliefs of fairness and equality. I always admired his candor and frankness, and he was a heck of an actor, an incredible talent and giant in his own right.
When you think that Kirk died at over 103 years old in 2020, your realize that he was already old in this Dick Cavett interview. Incredible... RIP, Master.

Kirk had a youthful soul even until the end. A man of many talents and someone to admire and learn from. Read his books and you will be a better person for it.
That was not my point. I simply wanted to express my admiration for the greatest of professionals. How other people live their lives is none of my business and it is no ones place to judge, no one is perfect and we should give each other respect regardless of creed colour or gender.😓😡😡
Actors are usually nice people. On a set, you work very close to people for ridiculously long hours. I've seen very talented people get shown the door simply because they're a pain to work with.

Kirk Douglas imo was one of those rare stars that literally soaked up every ounce of oxygen in every scene, such was his intensity and drive it left one completely focussed on his performance Champion - Spartacus - Paths Of Glory - Lust For Life - Ace In The Hole - The Vikings. What a legacy just with those movies😎👌
The most beautiful thing about them is their speech and the way they talk, and how they express themselves freely in a very eloquent manner with so much beautiful and rich words!
Kirk is a very smart. He was a ball buster back in the day during the terrible Blacklisting of other screen writers/actors. He stuck his neck out for them and helped save careers. A really great man.
Socialist tendencies of those 'writers' was the terrible part. Now look at Hollywood and the the other celebrities today. I would definitely called it a lost. Just like Regan and them called it. Kirk was worried about himself more than the position of his country.

Wayne in that interview was anything but civil or respectful. He referred to gays as "f@gs", excused generations of brutal oppression faced by Native Americans, called for the continued oppression of African Americans while promoting White supremacy.

I believe John Wayne would have been just as gracious about Douglas, as Douglas was to him. But, as has been stated already, it was a different time. Hollywood of today is not even close to being that cordial towards conservatives. There is, in fact, much hate and that is a shame.
Great speaking voice he had and utterly charming guy going by this interview. Love how he didn’t try to dodge sticky questions, but answered them truthfully with a lot of diplomacy and tact.

@@richshields8938 I wouldn’t call it “involved”. She was 17 and met him for what she thought was an “audition”. She never publicly named him, but she did talk about it. Her sister wrote about it, and named him, after he died.
I can catch the Dick Cavett show on the Decades channel. I love it. I haven’t been able to stomach John Wayne movies since I got older and read some of his interviews. It just sickens me. Always love Kirk.
GoldenEra 4ever EXACTLY !! Loved " The Vikings" !! He and Tony Curtis ......." Take your magic elsewhere Holy man " !! The Viking funeral in it was fantastic !!👍👍
I decided to look Kirk Douglas up on google because I wanted to know what year he died. I was shocked to learn the man is still alive! I assumed he died years ago.
Sure was convenient to be a bigot back then, when people wouldn't call 'em out and just made it easier for them to keep being bigots so it didn't cost them anything. Yep, those were the good ol' days, leaving bigot's victims hung out in the cold, undefended... yep, it was all better back then, an easier world to be an asshole in...
I never knew John Wayne so I won't comment on him, but I'll say that Kirk Douglas seems like one of the classiest men in Hollywood. Also love him and his son as Actors. Both are brilliant on screen.
@Frank Lopez wasn't making an argument, simply commenting on my admiration for Kirk and his son, Michael. If Wayne was racist that's bad on him, just not what I'm focused on. Chill out.
@Frank Lopez did you read Huckleberry Finn? Tom Sawyer? Were you raised during the 1920's? It was a different world and views of humanity and race can't be backwards corrected. I can have an opinion on many different subjects and yet treat the people I meet fairly and unbiased. I know of illegal aliens who are good people and yet - I feel the violate the law and should either file the correct paperwork or leave. It does not affect how I treat them as humans. John Wayne was a product of his time and to whitewash history by hating on your ancestors and the ancestors of others - show you have learned nothing from them or about yourself.
If only actors these days were as professional as this when they are interviewed. No ranting and raving, no personal attacks, just a professional respect for each other... Those were the days.
this was a period when even Kirk Douglas would suffer if he attacked John Wayne and the Hollywood Establishment... I would love to hear what Michael would say now about Kirk's views.
@@vinniemcclung693 who are you talking to? Maybe chill on the hostility. And yeah I know this is old, but I get the feeling you’re still insulting people, so I’m sure it’s relevant
@@stevenseagalsponytail4785 *sigh* everything is political. Don't like the pandemic? Blame it on some political side, or use it as an excuse for racism. Don't like science? It's political you snowflake. Some things are just things and not political.
I just love this old clips... a little bit of history that we can study and learn from the past... i am very blessed to watch these old segments videos... a person could be wise from watching enough of these
Kirk Douglas, to me was always such a gentleman and an absolute class act. I've seen a few interviews with him and he always held himself so gracefully.
He is setting an example for all of us on how to get along with people and get the job done and do it with respect and honor, even if you don't agree on political issues. Old school. I love it.
he didn't say anything about getting along with Wayne, just that he was a professional as an actor. Wayne was still vastly popular, going into detail about what he thought of Wayne's views wasn't the smartest thing to do at the time.
@@technodroog Yes he did. He said he got along with Wayne during work hours, which were long in duration. How is that not "getting along"? That's the definition of getting along. The definition of getting along is not friends who socialize and really enjoy spending time with each other. He also said they got along well enough to have dinner once or twice. It's never a smart idea to go into detail about what you think of someone else's political views. I'm sure Wayne didn't go into detail about his views on Douglas' Hollywood liberal philosophies. That's how people should get along.
I am super impressed, for a bona fide Global Movie Star of the 1st Magnitude , WHAT A REALLY NICE BLOKE , amazing , corse in 1971 we didnt have UA-cam or anything like it so you didnt know , Good on you Kirk , keep going , real glad you're still around .
Kirk Douglas....one of the finest actors...I personally really like the man, he seems so honest and open about stuff. Vincent Van Gogh, Spartacus, Einar, Ned Land, Doc Holiday, Dr Rolf Pederson, Jack Burns....All his characters were strong and independent, he played every one to perfection. He is probably my favourite actor of all time.
I can't bring myself to watch Lonely Are The Brave a second time because there are some scenes that just break your heart. I don't remember much about the details but I know how I felt afterwards. Kirk Douglas was a treasure.
Just find people you can talk to. Stay away from those who you can't have a conversation with. Simple. Time periods have nothing to do with that. Use common sense.
@Leoni1 .....Did you seriously just call someone out by implying they are a stick in the mud and therefore not as outgoing, exciting and vivacious as somebody else and then follow that with justification about how people are different and you should learn to accept that..... .....Your statement is a visual reference as to why the educational system and quasi intellectualism of Western Society has failed Humanity as a species..... ..... OXYMORONIC.....
I just want to say! This man is one of the best actors and genuine humans that have ever lived! He played Sparticus in a way that inspired rebellion! I will never ever forget the way he cleared his house as Odysseus. Not to mention the Vikings! What a great man!
@N to put all my cards on the table - I am 16% Cherokee and my great grandmother was full blooded. When I was a teenager I watched a PBS special of an interview with one of Geronimo's friends another chief. He was asked do you hate the white men for taking your land - he said why no, the strongest wolf pack gets the best hunting grounds, the best buck in fighting gets the best does and the lions drive off the coyotes from a kill. In like manner the whites were better fighters and won. Better he said to be angry at the wind for blowing your house down. This stuck with me as well as something my grandfather said - if you think you can trust the government - ask an Indian.
Dick Cavett was a glorious interviewer. As good as you'll ever find in the media. Past or present. His narration was tremendous as well. I particularly enjoyed his Time Was series. Reviewing the significant moments of each decade of the 20th century. Beautifully handled by Kirk Douglas and Cavett. Douglas showed his respect for Wayne, while still highlighting his negative side. Negative is the understatement of the decade. His views on Native Americans were just the tip of a giant Glacier of cold prejudices. More zero than hero. A grotesque billboard of the ignorance of his times.
You can tell Kirk doesn't like John Wayne when he was asked that question but the fact that he didn't slag or ridicule him and gave the guy props just shows how much class this guy has
Do you have dinner with or take employment advice from someone you don’t like? He likes him plenty, was offended by the question, and handled it with class instead of taking the bait to make a headline. Something you sadly don’t see anymore.
@@kbanghart please tell me how many times you’ve had dinner with someone you hated, (family and ex boyfriends/ girlfriends excluded)? Yeah. Thought so.
and back when you could interview someone and not interrupt every 10 seconds. This was an interesting and funny conversation even with all the full sentences. :-)
dawg these types of comments are stupid. 1) you're implying that people who decline to work together due to differences are somehow inferior. 2) Wayne's comments were legitimately tone deaf, as he was being boastful about Europeans taking land they lived nowhere near by force from tribes who'd already cultivated & laid claim to it. 3) Kirk wasn't affected by Wayne's insensitive remarks about Natives; the Natives were. spouting such negativity about the rightful previous owners of this land is harmful to them in many ways, but Kirk could afford not to disagree publicly with Wayne's comments bc they didn't directly affect him. & in case anyone's going to reply to me saying I'm on a high horse, I'm definitely not. I just think we'd all benefit from having more empathy towards minority groups, unlike Wayne did.
Always respect Kirk Douglas, he was a man to example after. Believe in what you believe in and don't let people back you down. That's a man to respect!
Dick Cavett… there is always a dash of spice in his interviewing style that enhances the experience not only for the viewer but often for the interviewee
Hacks today would be agitating for conflict with loaded questions about other actors. Cavett is a pro and knows when to, and not to nudge, and he gets a great interview out of it.
well I'm sure their just afraid to be cancelled if you don't agree with the leftist agenda pushed constantly. These times are strait up terrible and only getting worse.
@@Nicholasville-y2b The leftist agenda are you talking about the leftist agenda that’s never won? Neoliberals and moderate democrats have power. Leftists or whatever fake idea you have of it is not real or in power.
The views of his second cousin don't count. Douglas always seemed to be trying too hard in contrast with Wayne's smooth performances in movies like Rio Bravo.
Being a multimillionaire and holding a different political opinion than your other multimillionaire friend is a lot different that two people with actual, personal skin in the game being on opposing ends of the spectrum.
@Rishi Eastwood If two people both have platinum health insurance coverage and they're arguing over whether or not health care should be a right in the US, that's one thing. But now imagine a person whose spouse has cancer, and who can't afford treatment, being confronted by someone who is adamant about the fact that health care is not a right. It's an entirely different animal.
@Rishi Eastwood even within the Libertarian community, there is a spectrum of ideological difference. Not every Libertarian kisses the ring of Ayn Rand.
He was already 55 years old in this interview here. Looks amazing...especially for that time and era 55 year olds in 1971 could look late 60s early 70s.
@Johnny Kelly They were, weren't they - Flynn, Bogart, Rhonda Fleming, Cooper, Ava Gardner - these sad little things have got no idea of anything, sad to say. Talentless.
Proof that two people can have different views, politically or otherwise, and still be friends and respect each other for different reasons. John Wayne and Kirk Douglas....absolute legends and American treasures.
What surprised me when I saw the 2 of them on the screen together was despite the fact that Kirk Douglas has greater range and depth as an actor, John Wayne actually dominates the screen, which is a testament to his innate charisma and dedication to his craft.

Wayne in that interview was anything but civil or respectful. He referred to gays as "f@gs", excused generations of brutal oppression faced by Native Americans, called for the continued oppression of African Americans while promoting White supremacy.
He was being diplomatic for the cameras. You could tell he thought Wayne was an A1 asshole. Which he was.

Love Kirk Douglas!! What a skillful and wise way he dealt with the John Wayne issue.
A true professional!

👍and a hell of an actor to boot...
I wonder if he quoted john wayne correctly.
I believe John Wayne would have been just as gracious about Douglas, as Douglas was to him. But, as has been stated already, it was a different time. Hollywood of today is not even close to being that cordial towards conservatives. There is, in fact, much hate and that is a shame.
he wanted to keep working
@@brianjenkins1345 in 1973?
Great speaking voice he had and utterly charming guy going by this interview. Love how he didn’t try to dodge sticky questions, but answered them truthfully with a lot of diplomacy and tact.

What an amazing guy Kirk Douglas was! We truly lost a legend of Cinema. We ll miss him
Did anyone ever tell you that humans die? We didnt lose anyone jackass.
I guess Natalie Wood was a huge fan.
How many times did he do the same to other girls(women)?
Kirk Douglas a real pro and craftsman. The good old days when actors talked about their craft more than themselves. And interviewers let them.
got to admire kirk douglas , he was such a huge star in his own right , and despite their differences he was extremely respectful towards john wayne
two of my favorite actors.
I respect Kirk. John Wayne was an outright racist. Enjoy his movies, but that shouldn't erase Wayne's White supremacist views.
Why is it admirable to speak highly of someone who is horrible?
That's the way you do it. Show respect to the bigot, who doesn't respect anyone else...smh
@@TheAdseabo kirk made it clear he and wayne didnt agree with each others politics , he praised wayne for his work ethic
Remember when people didn´t always see eye to eye, but respected each other anyway without badmouthing one another in public? These were stars for a reason. They had integrity and ordinary people respected them for who they were. This calibre of talk show was the best of US TV. Sadly missed.

So right. No manners today - not everyone but the successful ones - so-called.

I doubt if Natalie Wood’s family misses him all that much.
@@JenniferFordEsq i did not know that he was involved with her , she was awesome.
@@richshields8938 I wouldn’t call it “involved”. She was 17 and met him for what she thought was an “audition”. She never publicly named him, but she did talk about it. Her sister wrote about it, and named him, after he died.

That’s questionable! Ask people that knew Natalie Wood.
He was not. Very self serving

Yep, those were the good ol' days, leaving bigot's victims hung out in the cold, undefended... yep, it was all better back then, an easier world to be an asshole in...
Wow, Kirk Douglas just demonstrates again what a classy guy he was. Wish I saw more of that with today's celebreties. RIP.
I never knew John Wayne so I won't comment on him, but I'll say that Kirk Douglas seems like one of the classiest men in Hollywood. Also love him and his son as Actors. Both are brilliant on screen.
@Frank Lopez wasn't making an argument, simply commenting on my admiration for Kirk and his son, Michael. If Wayne was racist that's bad on him, just not what I'm focused on. Chill out.
@Frank Lopez did you read Huckleberry Finn? Tom Sawyer? Were you raised during the 1920's? It was a different world and views of humanity and race can't be backwards corrected. I can have an opinion on many different subjects and yet treat the people I meet fairly and unbiased. I know of illegal aliens who are good people and yet - I feel the violate the law and should either file the correct paperwork or leave. It does not affect how I treat them as humans. John Wayne was a product of his time and to whitewash history by hating on your ancestors and the ancestors of others - show you have learned nothing from them or about yourself.
@@ironwolfgaming9632 Very well said. John Wayne was not a racist.
so your saying you in fact Know Kirk Douglas.. otherwise your comment would be stupid..
Is somebody contention that people aren't selfish? Of course people are selfish. This is the human state.

You are an idiot. The natives land was stolen by oil companies industrial farm fields and copper mines.

Classy answer from one pro about another. Different times. Cavett was gracious in his respect for Douglas' tact.
His reaction in having a different opinion than others is how we all need to react.

RIP Spartacus! What a talent, and you can't look at him without of course seeing Michael. Both incredible actors.
Cavett had some really good shows back during that era. I've always enjoyed watching old footage of his guests.
Kirk Douglas, to me was always such a gentleman and an absolute class act. I've seen a few interviews with him and he always held himself so gracefully.

With exception to working with assholes instead of calling them out.
@@kevindouglas5333 Whether it is true or not I just can't shake it from my mind. Every time I see him in a film or interview I think about it.
"Only the good die young" didn't apply to Kirk Douglas. 100% class act.
I mean yeah he was 103. I'll never reach that lol.
Probably one of the best interviews done on a talk show.
He is setting an example for all of us on how to get along with people and get the job done and do it with respect and honor, even if you don't agree on political issues. Old school. I love it.
he didn't say anything about getting along with Wayne, just that he was a professional as an actor. Wayne was still vastly popular, going into detail about what he thought of Wayne's views wasn't the smartest thing to do at the time.
@@technodroog Yes he did. He said he got along with Wayne during work hours, which were long in duration. How is that not "getting along"? That's the definition of getting along. The definition of getting along is not friends who socialize and really enjoy spending time with each other. He also said they got along well enough to have dinner once or twice.
It's never a smart idea to go into detail about what you think of someone else's political views. I'm sure Wayne didn't go into detail about his views on Douglas' Hollywood liberal philosophies. That's how people should get along.
I am super impressed, for a bona fide Global Movie Star of the 1st Magnitude , WHAT A REALLY NICE BLOKE , amazing , corse in 1971 we didnt have UA-cam or anything like it so you didnt know , Good on you Kirk , keep going , real glad you're still around .
Kirk Douglas....one of the finest actors...I personally really like the man, he seems so honest and open about stuff. Vincent Van Gogh, Spartacus, Einar, Ned Land, Doc Holiday, Dr Rolf Pederson, Jack Burns....All his characters were strong and independent, he played every one to perfection. He is probably my favourite actor of all time.
I can't bring myself to watch Lonely Are The Brave a second time because there are some scenes that just break your heart. I don't remember much about the details but I know how I felt afterwards. Kirk Douglas was a treasure.
Love how Douglas handled the question, very professional for sure.

Just find people you can talk to. Stay away from those who you can't have a conversation with. Simple. Time periods have nothing to do with that. Use common sense.
Jimmy Fallon needs to look at how this interviewer talks to people.
I actually find Dick Cavett quite awkward and bumbling, but I think his guests find it easy to warm to him so it doesn't come off awkward.
@Leoni1 .....Did you seriously just call someone out by implying they are a stick in the mud and therefore not as outgoing, exciting and vivacious as somebody else and then follow that with justification about how people are different and you should learn to accept that.....
.....Your statement is a visual reference as to why the educational system and quasi intellectualism of Western Society has failed Humanity as a species.....
..... OXYMORONIC.....
Fallon just fake laughs and oodles at celebs, star struck constantly.
And not just him
Maybe just stop watching Jimmy Fallon. I dont watch any of them. Hasnt bothered me 1 bit

@N to put all my cards on the table - I am 16% Cherokee and my great grandmother was full blooded. When I was a teenager I watched a PBS special of an interview with one of Geronimo's friends another chief. He was asked do you hate the white men for taking your land - he said why no, the strongest wolf pack gets the best hunting grounds, the best buck in fighting gets the best does and the lions drive off the coyotes from a kill. In like manner the whites were better fighters and won. Better he said to be angry at the wind for blowing your house down. This stuck with me as well as something my grandfather said - if you think you can trust the government - ask an Indian.
@N no character in digital film.
@N mostly the donkeycraps
@@ironwolfgaming9632 so that 16% cherokee allows you to say some stupid shit like that?
Dick Cavett was a glorious interviewer. As good as you'll ever find in the media. Past or present. His narration was tremendous as well. I particularly enjoyed his Time Was series. Reviewing the significant moments of each decade of the 20th century. Beautifully handled by Kirk Douglas and Cavett. Douglas showed his respect for Wayne, while still highlighting his negative side. Negative is the understatement of the decade. His views on Native Americans were just the tip of a giant Glacier of cold prejudices. More zero than hero. A grotesque billboard of the ignorance of his times.
I'd rather live in his times, thank you
You can tell Kirk doesn't like John Wayne when he was asked that question but the fact that he didn't slag or ridicule him and gave the guy props just shows how much class this guy has
On the contrary, I think he likes him very much.
Lol yes it was a very well prepared answer
Do you have dinner with or take employment advice from someone you don’t like? He likes him plenty, was offended by the question, and handled it with class instead of taking the bait to make a headline. Something you sadly don’t see anymore.

@@Akronkangaroo Really? What a searing bit of insight.
dawg these types of comments are stupid. 1) you're implying that people who decline to work together due to differences are somehow inferior. 2) Wayne's comments were legitimately tone deaf, as he was being boastful about Europeans taking land they lived nowhere near by force from tribes who'd already cultivated & laid claim to it. 3) Kirk wasn't affected by Wayne's insensitive remarks about Natives; the Natives were. spouting such negativity about the rightful previous owners of this land is harmful to them in many ways, but Kirk could afford not to disagree publicly with Wayne's comments bc they didn't directly affect him. & in case anyone's going to reply to me saying I'm on a high horse, I'm definitely not. I just think we'd all benefit from having more empathy towards minority groups, unlike Wayne did.
