Last week, Michael Douglas received the 69th George Eastman Award in Rochester, NY. Past winners include Charlie Chaplin, Gregory Peck, Audrey Hepburn, Joan Crawford, Gary Cooper and Meryl Streep.
Douglas posted on facebook,
“The George Eastman House International Museum of Photography & Film houses one of the largest collections of restored films in the world; the second largest collection of photographs in the States and every type of still and motion picture camera ever made. I saw stills from my own movies and Kirk's movies that I had never seen before and had a chance to watch a film in an old fashioned Mutoscope machine.”
Last month, Michael Douglas also met with Stan Lee, and shared a picture of a sketch that Stan Lee drew for him of Spider-Man.
