Kirk Douglas
During the 1960s and 70s, Kirk Douglas starred in a string of major motion pictures, most of which had international settings.

In 1991, he was honored with the American Film Institute Life Achievement Award, which was given to those who have made a significant contribution to the art form.
The film version of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest was a long time in the making. Douglas, who had starred in the stage play, tried for several years to make a film adaptation. He eventually succeeded, but the production struggled financially.
Douglas’s career began after he was discharged from the army. He met his wife Anne Buydens while filming a movie called Act of Love. They married in 1954 and had two sons together. Their marriage lasted for 50 years, and Kirk and Anne celebrated their 50th anniversary with a second “recommitment ceremony.” Douglas lives in Beverly Hills, California, and maintains a house in Palm Springs.
The book’s success led Toman to adapt the story for the big screen, but USSR officials resisted Forman’s efforts. They feared that the film would become too Americanized, and wanted to avoid the influx of western culture into the Soviet Union.
Douglas was a star in his own right. He had a huge fan following and was an Oscar winner. The film became a hit in the U.S. after three months on Broadway. Douglas was able to make a name for himself and his wife, a successful marriage.

Francis Bacon
After his political career collapsed, Francis Bacon stayed in St. Albans to pursue his philosophy of science. As an adult, he was determined to change the natural philosophy of the world. His approach to scientific inquiry was based on empirical methods, and his method placed a great emphasis on interaction and experimentation. In the end, his work helped form the foundation of applied science.
As the youngest son of two highly notable parents, Francis Bacon was a highly accomplished intellectual. His father, Sir Nicholas Bacon, was a respected lawyer who served as a Privy Counsellor to Queen Elizabeth for twenty years. He was a prolific writer, having written unpublished discourses on politics and law. He also wrote commentaries on the minor prophets. His work and ideas about science, religion, and politics were embraced by English scientists.
In addition to his achievements in philosophy, Bacon was a brilliant lawyer and a member of parliament. His works were not welcomed by many members of his own country’s government, but his ideas remained and eventually led him to become a successful parliamentarian and lawyer.
Bacon also crafted a new method of scientific inquiry called the Novum Organum. This method equips the intellect with the knowledge to move beyond the ancient arts and discover new knowledge. It is based on a new ontology and epistemology. The method also aims at three inventions.
Bacon’s ambitious stance was born of his desire to build a new system of scientific study. He hoped to create a scientific system by identifying gaps in the current knowledge base. His early manuscripts reveal the ambitious nature of his goals. In The Advancement of Learning, Bacon presents a systematic survey of existing domains of knowledge, and elaborates on their deficiencies. In the process, he developed a more systematic classification of knowledge, which he argued would be able to advance humanity.
