When Kirk Douglas started his own film production company in 1955, he called it Bryna Productions, named for his mother. It was this company that produced two of his most famous films, both directed by Stanley Kubrik: the anti-war epic, Paths of Glory (1957), and the historical drama, Spartacus(1960). Born Issur Danielovitch Demsky, Douglas began acting in the 1940s, winning his first Oscar nomination for his role as a boxer in Champion (1949). He won two more nominations for his work in The Bad and the Beautiful (1952) and Lust for Life(1956). In 1996 he won an honorary Oscar for his contributions to the motion picture industry. Douglas is remembered as one of the leaders in breaking the Hollywood blacklist when he stood by blacklisted writer Dalton Trumbo, insisting that Trumbo receive credit for writing the screenplay of Spartacus.
