Actor Kirk Douglas talks to B'nai B'rith Magazine about turning 90, his Family, his faith - and his MySpace page  

WASHINGTON, April 26 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- He surfs the Internet, works out at the gym, won the Presidential Medal of Freedom, just turned 90 -- and isn't letting up.

Actor Kirk Douglas had something important to say to his grandkids and the youth of America, so he wrote it down in his ninth book, "Let's Face It: 90 Years of Living, Loving, and Learning," released in April.

In an interview with B'nai B'rith Magazine, Douglas recounts how he has faced some of the tragedies in his life, including his stroke more than a decade ago and the suicide of his son Eric in 2004. He also relates his history of humanitarian and social activity -- including being a catalyst in ending the left-wing hunting, McCarthy-era blacklist on Hollywood personalities.

The venerable actor, however, does not just dwell on the past: He focuses on society's present ills and worries about the youngest generation that will inherit them.
