Douglas relishes family aspect
of his Cecil B. DeMille Award
By John Crook

The Cecil B. DeMille Award is
a signal honor for anyone in the
entertainment business, but
Michael Douglas is doubly
delighted to be this year's honoree
during NBC's telecast of the 61 st
Annual Golden Globe Awards on
Sunday, Jan. 25.
The Oscar-winning actor
(“Wall Street”) and producer
(“One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s
Nest") is the very first second-gen
eration DeMille honoree. In 1968,
his father, Kirk Douglas, received
the same award, which honors
"outstanding contribution to the
entertainment field.”
“I get an extra kick because of
my father, because I think it does
give you kind of a sense of immor
tality,” the younger Douglas says.
“For him to be able to sit there and
watch his son pick up a lifetime
achievement award, there proba
bly is a wonderful feeling for him
- and certainly for me, too,
because to be compared to some
one like him is a lovely honor too
- even if it’s coming much, much
too early for me,” he chuckles.
It’s true that, at 59, Michael
Douglas is still young and active
enough to make a “career achieve
ment” award seem a mite prema
ture. Then again, he already stands
with Laurence Olivier as the only
two people in history to win
Oscars in the categories of both
best actor and producer of the best
picture (Olivier scored both
awards for his 1948 “Hamlet”).
While he grew up surrounded
by actors and acting, however,
Douglas says today his entry into
the entertainment field was any
thing but a forgone conclusion.
“My mother (Diana Douglas) is
an actress as well,” he explains.
“She and my father met in acting
school, so in a sense maybe you
could say 1 was destined to
become an actor. They met out of
a love for acting. Growing up with
my mother in Manhattan, I was
struck by her love for doing the
ater and soaps, and my stepfather,
who played a very big part in my
life, was a Broadway producer.
“But having said that, I was
undeclared in college into my jun
ior year, so I was definitely a late
bloomer. 1 had to declare some
thing and, frankly, 1 think I picked
theater mainly because I thought it
would be easy. So it was a growth,
a process.... It wasn’t something I
wished for as a kid.”
After attending the elite Choate
School, Douglas was accepted at
Yale, but passed on the Ivy League
in favor of the University of
California, Santa Barbara. It was
among his first conscious attempts
to keep his life on the right track,
he says.
“To be honest, 1 just didn’t
much like the guy I was turning
out to be in those prep schools
back east,” he reflects. “It was
probably one of the first big deci
sions I ever made, this notion that,
‘No, I have to change.’
“My father probably thought it
was mainly because I wanted to
spend more time with him, but it
had more to do with the brochure
from this university campus by the
sea,” Douglas adds, laughing.
“They had guys walking down the
beach with girls in two-piece
bathing suits, and that was in
1963, when you didn’t see too
many girls in two-piece bathing
suits back east. Certainly not at
Yale.”
California also offered the
young actor some new perspective
via the burgeoning free speech
movement and controversy over
the Vietnam War. He returned to
New York, consciousness raised,
and paid his dues on stage and in a
few early TV and film roles.
Michael Douglas (with wife
Catherine Zeta-Jones) is this
year’s recipient of the Cecil B.
DeMille Award during NBC’s
telecast of the 61st Annual
Golden Globe Awards Sunday.
In 1972, Douglas bowed as
Karl Maiden’s sidekick in “The
Streets of San Francisco,” an ABC
hit that expanded his fan base. He
had a year to go on his contract
when he finally got a shot at a
long-held dream project, produc
ing a film version of Ken Kesey’s
biting novel “One Flew Over the
Cuckoo’s Nest.”
“Karl Malden, who has always
been a mentor to me, and the pro
ducer, Quinn Martin, let me leave
(“Streets”) ... to go produce
‘Cuckoo’s Nest,’ which was
incredible, because I got an Oscar
for that on my first time as a pro
ducer,” Douglas says.
“As an actor, though, I was still
having to make the transition from
being a ‘TV actor,’ with movies
like ‘The China Syndrome’ and
‘Romancing the Stone.’ The big
year for me as an actor was in
1985-86, with •‘Fatal Attraction’
and ‘Wall Street’ - but before that,
some people actually had asked
me why I didn’t just give up acting
in favor of producing full time.”
