Soundbite: (English) Michael Wayne (John Wayne's son) - "Off the screen they were at the opposite ends of the political spectrum, but they were just great on the screen together. They'd have a lot of discussions off screen, but on screen they were just a dynamite team. And it's kind of interesting tonight that Kirk is getting this award from the John Wayne Cancer Institute, it's like bringing them back together again and for something good, you know, finding that magic bullet that will eventually put an end to this horrible disease." 20.SOT Kirk Douglas/"Duke Award" Honoree: "It made me very sad, because it made me think about John Wayne. We did three movies together. So we had a lot of pleasant memories." 21. MS Kirk Douglas being interviewed KIRK DOUGLAS HONORED BY JOHN WAYNE CANCER INSTITUTE More than 1,000 guests packed the International Ballroom of the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills over the weekend to watch actor Kirk Douglas receive a special award from the John Wayne Cancer Institute. The organisation bestows the award annually, to honor extraordinary contributions in the fight against cancer. Both Douglas and his wife Anne have contributed time and effort to many humanitarian causes like the Los Angeles Mission for the Homeless, The Motion Picture Relief Home's Alzheimer's Unit, and the funding of playgrounds for children in Israel and the United States. Douglas says the award is particularly meaningful to him, but made him a little melancholy when he reflected on his friend, the late movie legend John Wayne. Douglas also talked about the stroke he suffered, and said it was one of the life events that caused him to change his philosophy of life. The Ball featured a sophisticated 1940s nightclub theme, and brought out past recipients like actor Larry Hagman of "I Dream of Genie," and "Dallas" television series fame. Hagman says the Cancer Institute helped him through his own health crisis. John Wayne's sons - one of whom, Michael, runs the institute - and his daughter Marissa, joined guests in congratulating Douglas. Michael commented that his father and Douglas didn't always share the same outlook. Kirk's most famous offspring, actor Michael Douglas and his wife Catherine Zeta Jones, were special guests of the McLaren Mercedes Formula One team at the Spanish Grand Prix, so were unable to attend the event. Kirk Douglas has made more than 80 films, including Spartacus, Ace In The Hole, Gunfight At The OK Corral, The Vikings And The Heroes of Telemark, and received three Oscar nominations for his roles in The Bad and the Beautiful, Lust for Life (about the artist Vincent Van Gogh) and Champion. In 1996, he was awarded a special Oscar for "50 years of creative and moral force in the motion picture community."
