Well... Spartacus is Dead.
RIP
One I remembered most as a child was "Lonely are the Brave"
I've pretty much liked him from then on.

My favorites are Paths of Glory, Lust for Life, and Spartacus. He had a great run.

Good quote I heard from someone interviewing him at 100.
Interviewer said I have met lots of actors but you are my first movie star.

RIP Doc Holliday.

He made a great " bad guy". He left a great legacy in film and, a fairly decent actor in his son. RIP :(

My fav. was " Last train to gun hill". Love me some old Westerns.

One of my favorite roles he played was Capt. Yelland in the WWII sci-fi, "The Final Countdown."

An old school great actor.

He was 103, born in 1916.

"Lonely are the Brave" is my favorite as well.

And surprisingly, Kirk was quoted as saying it was his favorite too.

I believe he was a lot like that character in real life.

I believe you'd be right. "The Final Countdown" was a different type of movie for KD, but, he played it perfectly. As he always did.
