Through determination, inventiveness, and charisma, Michael Douglas emerged from the long shadow cast by his movie-legend father, Kirk Douglas, to become his own man and one of the film industry s most formi-dable players. Overcoming the curse of failure that haunts the sons and daughters of Hollywood celebrities, Michael became a sensation when he successfully broughtOne Flew Over the Cuckoo s Nest,starring his friend Jack Nicholson, to the screen after numerous setbacks, including his father s own failed attempts to make it happen. This 1975 box-office phenomenon won Michael his first Oscar (the film won five total, including Best Picture), an award Kirk hadn t won at the time, and solidified the turbulent, competitive father-son relationship that would shape Michael s career and personal life. In the decades that followed, Michael established a reputation for taking chances on new talent and proj-ects by producing and starring in the hugely successfulRomancing the StoneandJewel of the Nilemovies, while cultivating a multifaceted acting persona edgy, rebel-lious, and a little dark in such films asWall Street, Fatal Attraction, Basic Instinct
