I was just a kid when Streets of San Francisco was on tv. I'm just now catching all those old reruns now. Great show. Great actor.
My late father told me a story about how nice this man was in the 1970s. My dad was a sky cab and used to derelict his work to talk to every celebrity he ran into. At the time MD was only TV celeb so my nutty Dad stopped him to talk about his father Kirk's career since that his contemporary and cinematic hero. Michael couldn't be more gracious. So much so that my dad's boss was looking for him cause dad wasn't where he should be so Michael ran back to where he was yelling out his name alerting him that he was looking for him Man! My dad used to make me laugh.
We love michael douglas

Wow!! What a wonderful guy. I liked all his movies.
Great actor with a great swag! Micheal, Denzel and Sidney Poitier have the best walks!
... what a phenomenon is Michael Douglas...an institution in himself!!!!
Fantastic actor, his dad similarly. Icons of cinema
If anyone wants to watch an AMAZING documentary, it’s a PBS two part series on Benjamin Franklin. It’s so riveting and amazing. Definitely a must!
Absolutely love his movies Falling Down (1993), by Joel Schumacher, and the criminally underrated Black Rain (1989), by Ridley Scott.
God bless all of you on the view ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉😊
He looks so much like his dad now.

Dude is a legend in his own right.
His new show Franklin looks amazing, I could listen to Michael’s voice all day, so fabulous like his Dad. And so lovely and handsome. A true icon and legend, what a diverse versatile career. 😍🥰😘🤩🌟✨ 🇺🇸 📺❤
Michael is a Hollywood Legend. Happy he came on the show :)
Michael Douglas' Oscar winning performance in "Wall Street" is just extraordinary. But then later on he defined the word "DILF" with "Fatal Attraction", "Basic Instinct" and "Disclosure". The man has done some great films over the last few decades.
He was great in FALLING DOWN.

Ben was our first postmaster. and he thought it was silly that people could catch illness from cold drafts.
He looks SOOOOOO good. Love him!!!!
A true superstar in all things tv movies guest star ! he really is fabulous
His dad stood up against the right wingy-nest of John Wayne's Push For Theological Authoritarianism, when few others did (or, would...)
6:22 "There was a time back then when being a politician was almost like the priesthood." It's maybe a slight exaggeration, since there have always been politicians, since the dawn of time, that are in it for their own gains, but I do agree with his point that there is supposed to be a sort of reverence and dignity of the position based on the fact that it is, in fact, a serving position. A servant of the people, of society, etc.

If Benjamin Franklin got electron flow correct, then science books would have had the electron's moving theory correct. Electron Current vs. Franklin's Conventional Current Anyway, one smart dude.
Joy, are you talking about the founding father Benjamin Franklin, who owns slaves
I lost all respect for Mr Douglas (despite the fact that he was actually born in New Brunswick NJ) when he claimed to have throat cancer from cunnilingus with his wife Katherine ZetaJones. He will never have favor in my eyes after such a disgusting remark. 😮

Well done panel! !! What an informative interview . Salute Michael Douglas. Yet one comment , he was spontaneous in greeting but seeing Sunny he distanced himself, .his right to do so, only a hand shake ! Body language Sunny.. maybe you have some imner home work to do..Appreciate + Believe in individual style. You are all intelligent great woman. Yet yr comments can be too self serving eg with Kate Monarchy on yr persisted You must know.!Thanks ladies..don't worry Trump is gonna show his toxic behaviour..and be his own downfall.

Well him weighing in is appropriate, since Ben Franklin had syphilis of the mind, and awful people loving him…..
