Watch Jane Fonda Toast Michael Douglas at His Walk of Fame Ceremony: “What took so long? He was always ahead of his time”–and Kirk Douglas, 102, Was There!

In Hollywood today Jane Fonda toasted Michael Douglas as he got his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. (She looked pretty cute, too.) Jane asked, “What took so long?” I was wondering the same thing. They co-starred in a great movie, “The China Syndrome,” in 1979. Michael is joining Jane in the world of smart TV series now. She’s got “Grace and Frankie” and now he’s co-starring with Alan Arkin in “The Kominsky Method.”

Douglas’s invited guests included wife Catherine Zeta Jones, their teenage daughter Carys, plus Michael’s 102 year old dad Kirk Douglas, Jerry Bruckheimer, Jerry Garcia, Chuck Lorre, Eric McCormack, and Ron Meyer. Wow!

PS I’m sure Michael’s steadfast publicist Allen Burry was there, too!
