Kirk Douglas with son Michael DouglasGetty ImagesHollywood legend Kirk Douglas was always a pretty charitable guy — and that didn’t end with his death earlier this month.The silver-screen icon, who died Feb. 5 at the age of 103, left the bulk of his $80 million estate to the Douglas Foundation, the charity he co-founded nearly six decades ago, it was revealed Sunday.The nonprofit benefits the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles, The Kirk and Anne Douglas Childhood Center and a St. Lawrence University scholarship for underprivileged students.The Douglas Foundation, created in 1964 by Douglas and his wife Anne Beydens Douglas, also doles out dollars to Westwood’s Sinai Temple and Culver City’s Kirk Douglas Theater, a restored venue.Anne Douglas, who was married to the acting legend for 65 years, still serves as the nonprofit’s managing trustee.“The Douglas Foundation’s principal goal is to help those who cannot otherwise help themselves,” the group’s website says.“Its primary focus is improving education and health, fostering the well-being, and most importantly developing new opportunities for the child who hold our future in their hands.”Douglas is known for classic films like “Spartacus,” “Lust for Life” and “Ace in the Hole” — and as the father of famed actor Michael Douglas.It’s unclear who will get the rest of Kirk Douglas’ money — about $10 million — but in addition to Anne, he is survived by Joel Douglas, the couple’s son, and Peter and Michael, his sons from his first marriage
