SHORT TAKES : Douglas Wins Tracy Award
Actor Michael Douglas was picked to receive the third annual Spencer Tracy Award, joining William Hurt and Jimmy Stewart as recipients of the honor praising standard-setting performances.
The award, presented today, was established by Susie Tracy, the late actor’s daughter, at the University of California, Los Angeles, to pay tribute to a Hollywood star whose instinctive, natural style sets him apart from other actors.
Douglas won three successive television Emmy Award nominations for his role in the old “The Streets of San Francisco.” He won an Academy Award for his role in “Wall Street.”
His movie credits include “Romancing the Stone,” “Fatal Attraction,” “Black Rain” and “War of the Roses.”
