Kirk was born in 1916 to Jewish immigrants, and he became passionate about acting at an early age. He was offered a scholarship to the American Academy of Dramatic Arts and his acting career quickly took off. However, he put his acting career on hold during World War II to serve in the U.S. Navy.
Kirk was nominated for three Academy Awards, and he was finally awarded an honorary lifetime achievement Oscar in 1996.
We would like to wish Kirk a very happy birthday, and we hope he has many more to come!
