Kirk Douglas: 'Trumbo Was a Strange Guy'

Drama starring Bryan Cranston as blacklisted Hollywood screenwriter Dalton Trumbo expands nationwide today.

The motion picture Trumbo expands nationwide today. Kirk Douglas, who bravely challenged the McCarthy-era blacklist with Spartacus and is portrayed in the film by actor Dean O’Gorman, recently welcomed USA Today West Coast entertainment editor Andrea Mandell to his Beverly Hills home to chat about the film.

From the article:

Douglas sits in a cardigan and slacks in his sun-drenched living room. “You know, I did a lot of movies with Dalton [Trumbo],” he says in good spirits though he speaks slowly (his speech has been impaired since a stroke at age 80).
