== Biographie ==
De son vrai nom '''Michael Danielovitch''', il est le fils de l'acteur Santa Barbara, en Californie, il y rencontre Danny DeVito, avec lequel il devient ami et partage souvent l'affiche.

Il joue dans un feuilleton télévisé aux multiples épisodes : ''Les Rues de San Francisco'' de 1972 à 1976. Bien qu'acteur, sa carrière est quelque peu au point mort après la série. Il n'apparaît que dans des films sans grand succès populaire (par exemple, ''Le Vainqueur'' en 1979). Tout ceci change radicalement avec la comédie romantique ''À la poursuite du diamant vert'' en 1984. Son rôle dans ce film classé au box-office lui permet un retour dans les studios, en tant qu'acteur reconnu et agréable à diriger.

Michael Douglas reçoit un Academy Award en 1975 pour ''Vol au-dessus d'un nid de coucou'' en tant que producteur.

En 1980, il a un grave accident de ski qui interrompt sa carrière pendant trois ans.

Il joue dans ''Wall Street''. 

À l'issue du tournage de ''alcool et de Chute Libre'' (1993) et, quelques années plus tard (de façon atténuée), dans ''Traffic'' (2000).

Il épouse Diandra Luker le 20 mars 1977 ; ils ont un fils prénommé Cameron. Ils se séparent en 2000 après 23 ans de vie commune, Diandra l'accusant de misogynie, d'être absent, et de ne pas être un bon père pour Cameron. La même année, le 18 novembre 2000, il épouse l'actrice Catherine Zeta-Jones qui a exactement 25 ans de moins que lui. Ils ont deux enfants : Dylan Michael (né le 8 août 2000) et Carys Zeta (née le 20 avril 2003).

==Biography==
===Early life===

His paternal grandparents, Bryna Sanglel and Herschel Danielovitch, were Jewish immigrants from Russia,<ref name="kdouglas"></ref> while his mother and maternal grandparents, Ruth Rapalje Neilson and Lt. Col. Thomas Melville Dill, were natives of Devonshire Parish, Bermuda.<ref>[http://www.conovergenealogy.com/Pages/douglas.html Ancestors of Michael Kirk Douglas<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> His maternal grandfather served as the Attorney General of Bermuda and was a commanding officer of the Bermuda Militia Artillery.

He has one younger brother named Joel (1947) and two younger paternal half-brothers, Peter (1955) and Eric (1958-2004).

===Career===
Having a famous father opened many doors to Michael that would have been closed to other young Hollywood hopefuls. Douglas starred in the long-running TV series ''Academy Award as producer for ''One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest'' in 1975. Although Douglas was a capable actor on ''Streets'', his career was somewhat stagnant after the series, and he only appeared in occasional movies which were usually less than popular (e.g., 1979's ''Running'').

His fortunes changed when he starred in the 1984 romantic adventure comedy ''Wall Street'' which would lead to many roles playing characters much like Black Rain'' opposite Alien'', ''Gladiator'').

In 1992, Douglas revived his slick, worldly character when he appeared alongside Disclosure'' focusing on the hot topic of sexual harassment, but with a twist—Douglas plays a man harassed by his new female boss. In 1998, Douglas received the Crystal Globe award for outstanding artistic contribution to world cinema at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival.<ref></ref>

Douglas's skill at character acting continued to make him one of the most sought-after actors in Hollywood and commands a hefty sum for his roles. After the commercial failure of ''It Runs in the Family'' (2003), Douglas did not star in a movie for three years, until ''The Sentinel'' in 2006.  A year prior to the release of ''sitcom ''Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Show. His ''Fatal Attraction'' co-star, Glenn Close, appeared in the following episode of the series and also earned an Emmy nomination for her performance.

Douglas on being asked to do ''Basic Instinct 2'': "Yes, they asked me to do it a while ago, I thought we had done it very effectively; (Paul) Verhoeven is a pretty good director. I haven't seen the sequel. I've only done one sequel in my life, ''The Jewel of the Nile'', from ''Romancing The Stone.'' Besides, there were age issues, you know? Sharon still looks fabulous. The script was pretty good. Good for her, she's in her mid-40s and there are not a lot of parts around. The first one was probably the best picture of her career—it certainly made her career and she was great in it".<ref> </ref>

Douglas will soon star in ''Tragic Indifference'', a courtroom thriller based on a landmark liability case against Ford, according to Variety. Douglas will play the attorney who took Ford to court on behalf of a single mother from Texas who was paralyzed and nearly died after an accident.
