Kirk Douglas at his home in Beverly Hills, in some vintage photos

Designed by architect Donald Wexler, Kirk and Anne Douglas’ villa was their second home for nearly 42 years, with their sons Michael, Joel, Pierre and Eric. Carefully decorated in a classic spirit, the haven of peace reveals wooden furniture, walls painted in denim blue and large windows under a beamed ceiling. Acquired in the 1950s, the actor is photographed in his daily life, with his sons, playing pool, or reading a script on his 4-seater sofa.
