Inside Michael Douglas’ Family History of Addiction

A Family That Heals Together… –

October 16, 2019 – Addiction has touched the Douglas family in many ways over the years, and as Cameron shares in an upcoming memoir, Long Way Home, excerpted exclusively in this week’s issue, the journey has been anything but easy. Michael, now 75, checked into rehab in 1992 for “drinking and drugging,” Cameron writes in Long Way Home. The Kominsky Method actor’s half-brother, Eric, died of a drug overdose in 2004 after a long battle with drugs and alcohol. He was 46. Cameron’s grandfather, the legendary actor Kirk Douglas, 102, spoke to ABC News in 2007 about the death of his son, saying, “My wife Annie and I discuss it. We know for years and years we tried to do everything we could.”
