Michael Douglas: An article in Wednesday’s Calendar about Michael Douglas receiving the American Film Institute Life Achievement Award said he missed the AFI tribute when his father, Kirk Douglas, received the same award in 1991, and quoted the actor-producer as saying he didn’t recall where he was at the time. In fact, the younger Douglas not only attended the ceremony but also served as its host. Douglas said through a spokesman Wednesday that he had forgotten about the event of 18 years ago. Additionally, an accompanying article in which Douglas commented on some of his costars referred to “The War of the Roses” as having been released in 1999. It came out in 1989.
