Kirk Douglas and Anne Buydens – 65 Years

Kirk Douglas is a historic icon and one of the most popular celebrities during Hollywood’s Golden age. In 1954, he was finally able to see his fiancée, producer Anne Buydens, in a beautiful wedding dress. This year, they have been together for 65 years! It’s rare to find couples who last for more than half a century in the entertainment industry. What’s more of a shocker is that Anna still stands strong at 101 years old, while Kirk lived to be 103 years old before he breathed his last this February 2020.

Douglas became the leading box office star from the ’50s to the ’60s. He is known for his roles in heavy dramas and war and western films, including his first lead role in the 1960 film Spartacus. Decades after, he was also recognized for his work as a director, producer, and author. Through all the plot twists and changes in his Hollywood career, one thing remained constant: Anne. Imagine spending more than half of your life with another person! We’re glad that they have found a degree of forever in each other’s arms.
