Legendary film star Kirk Douglas will be the latest guest plucked from the audience for an on-stage improvised interview with celebrity interviewer Jiminy Glick in Martin Short's Fames Becomes Me at the Sunday, October 29th 3:00 p.m. performance. The show plays at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre (242 West 45th St).
Known to the world for his celebrated performances in Spartacus, The Bad and the Beautiful and Lust for Life, Douglas is a three-time Academy Award nominee. He was awarded the Academy's Honorary Award in 1996 for "50 years as a moral and creative force in the motion picture community."
Since the show began performances on Broadway in July, Glick has hosted an array of A-list stars including Jerry Seinfeld, Steve Martin, Nathan Lane, Rosie O'Donnell, Conan O'Brien, Rosanne Barr, Jimmy Fallon, Regis Philbin, Al Roker, Stephen Colbert, Stanley Tucci, Dennis Miller, Kristin Chenoweth, James Belushi, Tracey Ullman, Martha Stewart, Larry King and Bette Midler.
The show "features Short in a comic tour de force guiding us through an improbable version of his life story. Backed by a brilliant cast of top Broadway performers (who constantly steal focus from Mr. Short when he's not looking), Short's transparent play for love and attention asks the burning question, does an autobiography really have to be true?," state press materials.
