Died in February 2020 at the age of 103, Kirk Douglas had met Anne in 1953 in Paris, while he was shooting the film "An Act of Love". After a frantic courtship, he married her in Las Vegas on May 29, 1954. "It wasn't romantic but it was legal and her new husband promised her that one day he would marry her again in style," her family recalled in the obituary sent to AFP. Kirk Douglas had kept his promise for their 50th wedding anniversary, in 2004. The Douglas couple remained married for 66 years and had two sons, Peter and Eric. They formed a family with two other sons, Michael and Joel, that the actor had from a previous union with Diana Dill. Anne Douglas called the latter "our ex-wife". Anne Douglas was born Hannelore Marx in a German family in Hanover on April 23, 1919. Sent to a Swiss boarding school, she had not wanted to return to Hitler's Germany and had continued her schooling in Belgium, until the Nazis bombed Brussels in 1940.
