Douglas was one of the last surviving members of Hollywood's Golden Age of movies, starring in movies such as "Spartacus," "War Wagon" and "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea."

"He leaves a legacy in film that will endure for generations to come, and a history as a renowned philanthropist who worked to aid the public and bring peace to the planet," Michael Douglas said in his Instagram post.
