"Comes a time in every young man's life when he must get his first haircut," reads a caption that accompanied this 1956 photo, at top, of Kirk Douglas with his son Peter at the Beverly-Wilshire Health Club, where "Kirk keeps in trim for his rugged movie roles." Among those roles was the lead in "Spartacus," which included a 10,000-plus cast and crew, and a budget of more than $12 million, making it one of the most expensive films ever produced in Hollywood at that time. Photos, letters and other documents that Douglas donated to the Wisconsin Center for Film and Theater at the University of Wisconsin-Madison are now available online through a new Web site at www.whirld.com/wcftr/index.html.
