What the other people had to say?

Anne Douglas’ stepson Michael made a statement to the people :

Anne was more than a stepmother, and never wicked. She brought out the best in all of us, especially our father. Dad would never have had the career he did without Anne’s support and partnership. Catherine [Zeta-Jones] and I and the children adored her; she will always be in our hearts.

My father could never keep a secret. Anne was just the opposite, That’s why I was so moved when I read their co-authored book, Kirk and Anne, in which she talked about her early life in Germany; her war years in occupied Paris; and her career before she met my father. She also included their private correspondence, which gave me new insights into their courtship and marriage.
