The Hollywood legend passed priceless pieces of his extraordinary life to those closest to him, but one emotionally charged object was reserved for his daughter-in-law.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Documents reported on August 28, 2026, revealed how Kirk Douglas and his widow, Anne Douglas, divided their enormous estate among Michael Douglas, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and other family members. Catherine’s inheritance was neither a glittering award nor an obvious piece of movie memorabilia, yet its tender meaning makes his decision feel\u00a0<\/strong>wonderfully personal<\/strong><\/i>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Kirk died on February 5, 2020, at the remarkable age of 103. Anne followed in 2021 at 102, leaving behind an estate filled with fine art, major honors, unusual sculptures, and\u00a0irreplaceable\u00a0<\/strong>objects from their many decades together.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The trust documents obtained by\u00a0TMZ<\/a>\u00a0show how those belongings were distributed. Kirk’s four sons, Michael, Eric Douglas, Joel Douglas, and Peter Douglas, were considered, while several grandchildren received pieces connected to their grandfather’s extraordinary public life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The inheritances appear to have been selected with considerable care. Some relatives received\u00a0nationally significant awards<\/strong>, while others were left paintings, sculptures, jewelry, or keepsakes that could never simply be replaced with money.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Even the household staff received an unusually intimate opportunity after Anne’s death. They were allowed to look through her closets and drawers and select belongings, giving those who had cared for the couple a chance to preserve something associated with her.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
