One of the last great actors from the golden era of Hollywood and a truly commendable one who shied from the usual scandals etc of Hollywood in having one of Hollywood's longest celebrity marriages 64 years, his wife survives him and she is now 100 years old.

Sorry, no coin but I loved the man! What a talent he was. Spartacus probably was his most famous role but he exelled in so many others. He played drama as well as comedy. One other role I enjoyed him in was in the movie,"Town without pity". Great movie, check it out. I heard in his last few years,he has been studying the torah.
RIP

Many exquisite movies he starred in. Too many to mention. I'll hit you guy's with another. "Stranger's when we meet". With Kim Novak. Another Star gone.😥
Wait , I was wrong! Kim is still alive. I'm sorry, Kim! She was born in my hometown, Chicago.

I'm borrowing this photo from WillieBoyd2. Notice both cigs in Kirk's and Robert's hands! and yet Kirk lived to be 103? We lost Robert in '97. Kirk was born 1 year before Rob. WOW!

And my best 1916
