Michael Kirk Douglas (born September 25, 1944) is an American actor and producer. He has received numerous accolades, including two Academy Awards, five Golden Globe Awards, a Primetime Emmy Award, the Cecil B. DeMille Award, and the AFI Life Achievement Award.
The elder son of Kirk Douglas and Diana Dill, Douglas received his Bachelor of Arts in Drama from the University of California, Santa Barbara. His early acting roles included film, stage, and television productions. Douglas first achieved prominence for his performance in the ABC police procedural television series The Streets of San Francisco, for which he received three consecutive Emmy Award nominations.

"But Ellen designed the dress so that I could sit like a man if he was being interrogated.
It gave me the ability to move my arms and legs, take up space, and exercise control over a room full of men."The scene "turned out to be a pretty big deal," Sharon laughed, citing the Halloween costumes that spawned from the dress."I still have almost all of the wardrobe too.
I've given some pieces away to charity, but so far, I've kept the white dress and coat," she said. "It was zipped up in a garment bag on the set, and it has never been opened since.
