The sad news that actor Micheal Douglas has been diagnosed with Stage Four throat cancer comes at a time in his life when he has more than enough stress to cope with. By his own admission it has been ‘a very long year’ and revealed what we all know – that cancer feeds on stress and anxiety.
The actor has spent the past year dealing with his son Cameron’s drug problems and court appearances and the latest news has it that his ex-wife, Diandra, is suing him for half his earnings from his latest film where he reprises his iconic 80′s role as Gordon Gekko. Correct me if I am wrong, but when you have been divorced from a man for more than a decade you should have moved on, especially when you already received a sizeable chunk of his fortune. One would think the woman would be well set up financially for the rest of her life but we all know these Hollywood wives – they hang onto their married names (Priscilla Presley is a good example…) because they open doors long after their marriage has bitten the dust and they have bled their ex-spouse for every penny they could get. If this woman pursues the poor man throughout his illness – and she probably will – I hope every door she ever encounters again slams right back in her face.
Micheal Douglas, looking more like his dad Kirk with every passing year, has been happily married for ten years to Welsh beauty Catherine Zeta-Jones and is the dad of two young children – let’s hope he can defy the odds, which honestly are not that great, and live to see his kids grow up.
