Kirk Douglas, the last surviving star of the Hollywood Golden Age, has some sage advice for son Michael Douglas on his 19th wedding anniversary. Daughter-in-law Catherine Zeta-Jones shared the note from her father-in-law as the couple celebrated their 19th wedding anniversary.
The Ocean’s Twelve star shared the note in an Instagram post with a black-and-white photo of herself and Michael. She captioned the post, “Dancing in to our 20th year! Happy Anniversary my love. Such a beautiful letter from my father in law. I am touched.”
Kirk’s advice to Michael was a witty one. The 103-year-old actor wrote “Dear Michael and Catherine, Happy anniversary! Michael, you learned a very important lesson, to stay married you must obey your wife! Keep practicing what I do with my wife.”
