Hollywood mega-star Kirk Douglas reeling from death of costar Farrah Fawcett and MJ because it reminds him of drug OD death of son.
The Champion star had worked with Farrah on the nearly forgotten sci-fi epic Saturn 3 in 1980 and her death hit the aging thesp, 92, hard.
"I did a movie with Farrah Fawcett in London. What a beautiful girl with a great sense of humor," Douglas blogged on MySpace.
"Michael Jackson gave millions of people all over the world enjoyment. Yes, he had his problems. It’s sad to think of such a great talent extinguished when his light was burning so brightly.
"It makes me think of the people in my profession that have died too young: Steve McQueen, Natalie Wood, Marilyn Monroe. I know the pain of personal tragedy, my son Eric died at 46. When I visit his grave every week I see fresh flowers at the gravesite of Marilyn Monroe.
"While we mourn for the deaths of young people like Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett, let us think about how precious life is and resolve to make it worthwhile."
Who woulda thunk’ Kirk, 92, would outlive most of his costars!
