That headline usually refers to Kirk Douglas.
He was a legendary Hollywood actor—famous for films like Spartacus—and he lived to 103 years old, which is why articles often called him “the oldest star still with us” at the time.
However, to keep things accurate:
- He passed away in 2020 at age 103
- So he’s no longer living, even though that headline circulated widely before his death
If you had a different “103-year-old star” in mind, tell me any extra detail you remember and I’ll help identify them.
