 :salute Sir.

You, and a short list of others you're no doubt having a shot with up there, left a legacy of film behind, honoring the Greatest Generation Ever.

Back in the 80’s while dating the woman that would become my wife,  she worked for Ralph Shockly a PR firm on Madison Ava and 50th street in Manhattan.  I was picking her up for a dinner date, she informed me that she had to stay late because a client of the firm was running late.  Kathy was the inner office receptionist, if for no other reason that at the age of 24, she was stunning and the eye candy receptionist for this firm.
 
In walks Kirk Douglas, impeccably dressed in a dark blue suite, askes Kathy for a phone line and sits down beside me to make his call.  I think he called his wife about dinner arrangements. He asked Kathy to “ please let Ralph know I’m here”.  He finished his phone call, looks at me with those deep blue eyes and nodes towards Kathy and asked “Date”, I node yes and he jumps to his feet, opens the door to Ralph’s office and says “Ralph, sorry I’m late, let this girl go on her date and you and I will talk business”.
Kathy later told me that of all the famous people that she had met while working at that office, he was one of the nicest.
