Kirk Douglas In Antibes

Kirk Douglas in Antibes captures Hollywood’s ultimate tough guy conquering the Mediterranean on a single water ski, his bronzed physique at 52 rivaling actors half his age. August 1969 finds the Spartacus star at the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc, where Fitzgerald once wrote and celebrities gathered, now witnessing Douglas’s athletic command behind the mahogany speedboat Elepu-Elei.
