Mat Kirk Douglas as Mr. Hyde as a star. How could anyone who looks like -Kirk Douglas with that eagle face finished off by a bottomless dimple ever have been anything else? His mother and father had the same dimple in the chin. His six sisters have it and so does his son, Michael. So he chucked his real name the Russian-Jewish Yssur Danilovitch and cashed in oh the face at the box office.

He was the meanest gunfighter, the toughest and the most aggressive lover. But while he was being labeled "The Man You Love to Hate," he was also the first Hollywood star who went to Europe to do an art film in French, "Act of the first American to make an independent film in Israel "The the first star to do a Stanley Kubrick art film I'Taths of and the first man to show the good side vs. the bad side of the Mafia long before the success of "The Godfather" "The "People called me pretentious, but I've Always been a loner," he says. "I was nev- avwned by a studio. I don't mind that old faacge of being a monster.

Hcdda Hopper 1 once told me, 'Kirk, ever since you've become such as S. 0. And I said, 'ReOfe, Was always an S. 0. you Just never I've never won any popularity contests.

I think it has to do with the image I've had on screen. I've always played bastards because they're more inter esting. I've never been a nice, quiet guy. I speak out when I see something wrong I am a tiger when I work, and I expect everyone else to be exactly the same way. "I just did a picture called 'Scalawag' in Yugoslavia.

I went to Wall Street and raised the money myself. SeUip my own corporation got my wife to produce ii, hired my son as the still photographer, and used my other son as an office boy. My son's dog was in the picture, and I directed it and starred in it and coauthored the screenplay. I wanted Michael to do some- thing in it, too, but he's too expensive. So if this film stinks, we've got the whole Douglas family to blame.

I wanted to get back the old feeling of movies I experienced as a kid pirates, dcrring-do, people getting killed, but you don't see the blood. There 2 SHOWS SAT. RESERVATlCXSi 452-9781 RL 23 (lake Eloomintdalt, liL was no pretentiousness about it. We lived under primitive conditions with no toilets and learned one Yugoslavian phrase to save our lives 'Bex bela That means 'No garlic' You see old movies on the late show, and everybody asks why they don't make movies like those anymore. Critics have made it fashionable to be pretentious and incoherent.

'Last Year at Marienbad' was a load of horse manure. I am far from immune to harsh criticism, but I can't take critics seriously. They think Hollywood is a dirty word, and the films they call real art I never see. And I don't think anyone else does, either." Kirk turned down Billy Wilder's "Stalag 17," for which Bill Holden won an Oscar. He also turned down "Cat Ballou" because his agent said the part was too small.

Lee Marvin won the Oscar for that one. "So you see, I'm not so smart. But today the business has changed so much, you have to be your own employer. After 20 years of movies, I realize how little I know. In the old days, you pressed a button for the sound department, another button for the produc-, tion department, and the actor just saw the movie when it came out.

On I developed my own property. Then' I had to direct myself andjiad to worry about giving a performance, the camera angles, and the money, too. My phone doesn't ring any- more. I have to. find my own work.

My family and I were our whole studio. So you never stop learning. And when you think you know it all, you're in real trouble." Back on the set of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," he's taking someone else's money.

And lots of it. One of the highest salaries ever paid in television. They interrupt his line to adjust a camera. "Why don't you tell me what you're doing?" Kirk shouts. "I get paid a lot of money to do these things!" There's a silence on the set.

The star is showing a moment of temperament. He winks. Then the ice melts as his voice booms thru the graveyard: "Still the 'Man Love to Mr. Hyde was once again a holy terror, and Kirk Douglas was enjoying every minute of it.
