Kirk Douglas, Wife Anne, Donate 400th Playground
A milestone for actor Kirk Douglas and his wife, Anne.
They've dedicated their 400th school playground -- completing a decade-long effort to give Los Angeles kids a place to frolic.
The 91-year-old actor took a ride down a slide during the unveiling Wednesday at a South Los Angeles elementary school.
Douglas and his wife created a foundation that has provided more than 8 million dollars to build or refurbish play areas in the Los Angeles school district.
Governor Schwarzenegger was on hand for the dedication and praised Douglas and his wife for their efforts. The governor and Douglas worked together in a 1979 movie called "The Villain" and have remained friends for three decades.
