Blak Douglas becomes second ever Indigenous Archibald Prize winner

<p dir="ltr">Western Sydney artist Blak Douglas has won the 2022 Archibald Prize, taking home $100,000 along with the coveted title. </p> <p dir="ltr">The self-taught 52-year-old artist has become the second Indigenous artist to win the prize in its 101 years for his portrait of Wiradjuri artist Karla Dickens.</p> <p dir="ltr">The 2022 competition was Douglas' fifth time as an Archibald finalist, and accepting the prize at the Art Gallery of NSW ceremony, he said: "This painting represents 20 years of taking the risk of pursuing a dream [and] surrendering normalised employment. And I'm sure many of my artist colleagues can relate to that."</p> <p dir="ltr">His winning portrait depicts Karla Dickens, who he describes as a “legendary practitioner”, knee-deep in the muddy floodwaters of her hometown in Lismore, Bundjalung Country — holding a leaking pail of water in each hand, and looking grumpy.</p> <p dir="ltr">His painting reflects on the damage and after-effects of the devastating February and March floods in the Northern Rivers.</p> <p dir="ltr">"I've been up there [to Bundjalung Country] several times; it's a war zone," Douglas told <a href="https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-05-13/archibald-prize-2022-winner-blak-douglas-karla-dickens/101060204">ABC News</a>.</p> <p dir="ltr">"And so to be able to further aid some of my dearest, closest friends up there, through this win — not only metaphorically, but also financially — it's a big plus."</p> <p dir="ltr">Speaking via live video link from her home during the ceremony, Karla Dickens said she was "over the moon", and thanked her friend for "acknowledging everybody up here on Bundjalung Country that has gone through so much".</p> <p dir="ltr">"I'm so proud of you, Adam. Such a killer painting," she added.</p> <p dir="ltr"><em>Image credits: Getty Images</em></p>

Kirk Douglas’ grandson reflects on his passing in emotional interview

<p>Kirk Douglas’ grandson has honoured the late acting legend in an emotional interview.</p> <p>Speaking to <em><a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/cameron-douglas-legacy-grandfather-kirk-douglas-hard-imagine-anyone-doing-it-better-1278758">The Hollywood Reporter</a></em>, Cameron Douglas said it was difficult to lose his grandfather, who died on February 5 at the age of 103.</p> <p>“He was always there, always supportive and he believed in me even when maybe I had given up on myself,” said Cameron, who previously struggled with drug addiction.</p> <p>“Losing him is one of those things that, even when you sort of see it coming … it’s still difficult.</p> <p>“I take solace in the pride of being his grandson and having had the opportunity to spend as much time with him as I have. When I look at his life, what he accomplished and the way he carried himself, it's hard for me to imagine anyone doing it any better.”</p> <p>Cameron said he brought his partner Viviane Thibes and daughter Lua Izzy to Los Angeles so that the family could spend more time with Kirk.</p> <p>“I moved about 15 minutes away from them and have been spending a lot of time with him, bringing my daughter [and] Vivian over on weekends,” said the 41-year-old.</p> <p>“Just watching the bond between my daughter and grandfather was extremely special.</p> <p>“He would light up every time she was around. When she was in the same room, all she wanted to do was either be in his lap or be the focus of his attention. I'll remind her of that when she gets older, showing her that connection through photos.”</p> <p>Cameron followed in the footsteps of his father Michael and his grandfather to become an actor after serving nearly eight years in prison for possessing cocaine and <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/cameron-douglas-long-way-home-book-memoir-hollywood-life-prison-a9180571.html">distributing methamphetamine</a>.</p> <p>“He said to me, not that long ago, ‘Cameron, I’m so happy to see that you’re finally functioning’. That’s this kind of credo among the members of our family – to be ‘functioning’ – and I know that made him proud.”</p>

Kirk Douglas dies aged 103

<p><em>Spartacus<span> </span></em>actor Kirk Douglas has passed away at the age of 103, his son revealed to<span> </span><em>People Magazine</em>.</p> <p>Michael Douglas said: “It is with tremendous sadness that my brothers and I announce that Kirk Douglas left us today at the age of 103.</p> <p>“To the world, he was a legend, an actor from the golden age of movies who lived well into his golden years, a humanitarian whose commitment to justice and the causes he believed in setting a standard for all of us to aspire to.”</p> <p>Throughout his career that spanned seven decades, Douglas starred in over 90 films, with hits such as<span> </span><em>Spartacus</em><span> </span>and<span> </span><em>The Vikings</em><span> </span>making him one of the biggest box office stars in the 1950s and 1960s.</p> <p>He was nominated for an Oscar for Best Actor in 1959 for his role as boxer Midge Kelly in<span> </span><em>Champion</em>.</p> <p>He went on to earn two more Oscar nominations as a producer for T<em>he Bad And The Beautiful</em><span> </span>in 1953 and<span> </span><em>Lust For Life</em><span> </span>in 1957.</p> <p>He appeared alongside John Wayne in three movies – I<em>n Harm’s Way, Cast A Giant Shadow</em><span> </span>and<span> </span><em>The War Wagon</em><span> </span>and also pocketed $50,000 for saying the only English word at the end of a Japanese TV commercial: Coffee.</p> <p>But his proudest achievement was his major role in breaking the Hollywood blacklist: Actors, directors and writers who were excluded professionally due to their ties to the communist movement in the 1950s.</p> <p>Douglas was in a helicopter crash in 1991, which he survived. But five years later, he suffered from a stroke.</p> <p>Due to the stroke, he was left with slurred speech and damaged facial nerves, but despite it all, he still powered through to attend the Academy Awards two weeks later to receive a Lifetime Achievement Award.</p> <p>Scroll through the gallery below to see Kirk Douglas' life in pictures.</p>

Michael Douglas’ troubled son thanks family for “never giving up” on him

<p>Michael Douglas' troubled son Cameron has publicly thanked his family for getting him through his "darkest days" after spending seven years in prison for drug offences.</p> <p>The only child of the Fatal Attraction star and his former wife Diandra was released from prison in August 2016 but has just recently given his first interview.</p> <p>Talking to the Mail Online, Cameron credited his father and step-mother, actress Catherine Zeta-Jones, for "never giving up" on him – even when he was caught selling prescription drugs to fellow inmates.</p> <p>“My family never gave up on me, not for one second,” he said, particularly crediting Catherine in for her perseverance.</p> <p>"She never gives up on anything and she didn’t quit on me. The love of my family got me through my darkest days."</p> <p>The 39-year-old also revealed his grandfather – Hollywood legend Kirk Douglas – sent him "two letters a month" when the 101-year-old became too frail to visit him in prison.</p> <p>"I lived a nightmare for seven years but the love of my family never wavered," he said.</p> <p>Cameron is famously the “black sheep” of his family, having had numerous stints in rehab before ending up behind bards in 2010.</p> <p>However, since his release from prison he is determined to turn his life around. He became a father to a daughter Lua Izzy with his Brazilian girlfriend Viviane Thibes who has been with him throughout all his trials.</p> <p>"I finally have my priorities in the right order," Cameron said. "I want to make my family proud.”</p> <p> </p>
