Does Michael Douglas have circassian ancestry?
yes his grandfather was born in Abkhazia named Jacob Danielovitch. MAYBE the most well-known person among the Abkhaz-origin people scattered throughout the world is the famous actor Michael Douglas and his father, the famous actor, Kirk Douglas… The story of Douglas from Abkhazia to America is just like his movies. The young man called Jacob Danielovitch, who lives on the Abkhazia lands of the Russian czarism, plots an assassination with a close friend to kill the Russian Czar Nikolay the 2nd. But the failed young men flee to Izmir to get rid of the Russian security forces. Then, they start to work in the different regions of Anatolia. One of them gets married and settles in Canakkale; Jacob in his 20s goes to USA in 1912 by ship. Jacob, who gets married in USA to a woman called Bryna that emigrated from Russia like himself, becomes father in 1916. He names his child Issur Danielovitch Demsky. That child is none other than Kirk Douglas, who will hit the headlines in the cinema industry in the following years… The story of the father-son Douglas in the Caucasus begins like that.
