Interview : Michael Douglas  Oscar winner Michael Douglas has
all reason to be smles these days: Another baby, an Oscar
winning wife and to top it all off, he finally gets to act with
his legendary dad in the new comedy/drama It Runs in the Family.
Coincidentally, PAUL FISCHER was able to discuss all of these
matters with the perennially charming actor/producer in Los
Angeles.  Question: Do you regret that it’s taken you so long
for you and your dad to get work together?  Answer: Not really,

would have been in that format before. And also, I think it
leaves a lasting impact on a lot of people and I think it’s
actually a positive way to see him acting with a stroke – step
up there and deliver.  Qu
