His private life is casual, gay. tempestuous — and sad. Here's why Kirk Douglas is Hollywood's most amazing married bachelor. BY JACK WADE ■ It was the end of a hard day. The Hollywood executive wearily turned the key in the lock of his apartment door and flicked on the lights. He slipped out of his coat and threw himself into an easy chair. Then he sat bolt upright. The hair on the back of his neck bristled. He had heard a sound from the direction of the bathroom. Moving silently to the fireplace, the executive drew a brass poker from a rack and advanced stealthily toward the sound. There was an alien sliver of light escaping from beneath the door, and a muffled cough came from within. With a single movement, the executive wrenched open the door and raised his poker into striking position. The bright light blinded him for a moment, then his eyes popped in unbelief. There, lying in a tub of steaming suds, was Kirk Douglas, a book held slightly above the water line and an expression of complete enjoyment on his face. "Good Lord!" said the producer. "Kirk! What — what are you doing here?" "I just bought this book," said Douglas. "It's great — you must read it !" (Continued on page 90) Evelyn Keyes meets Kirk for tennis at the Beverly Hills Club. Though Kirk probably has more dates with more pretty girls than any other male star, the sparkling Miss Keyes is reported to be his current favorite.
