Michael Douglas Feted by Taormina as Fest Kicks Off: ‘I Am Touched Now When I Realize That Between My Father and I, We Made Over 150 Movies in the Span of 80 Years’
Michael Douglas was feted by the revamped Taormina Film Festival as its 71st edition kicked off on Tuesday.
Michael Douglas on Tuesday was celebrated with a lifetime achievement award by Italy’s Taormina Film Festival where “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,” the multiple Oscar-winning classic that he produced 50 years ago, will screen in the fest’s 6,000-seat open-air ancient Greek amphitheater. The fest is headed by marketing guru Tiziana Rocca who has close Hollywood ties and is back at the helm eight years after she was forced to step down due to political infighting in 2017 following a five-year stint. “I am touched now when I realize that between my father and I we made over 150 movies in the span of 80 years,” Douglas went on to point out, “I want to say that all three of my children want to be actors, so it may be continuing for another generation.”
