She made big contributions in her community with her philanthropic work throughout her lifetime.
Cameron is the son of actor Michael Douglas, who was Anne's stepson. Michael shared his own tribute for his late stepmother on Instagram, alongside a gorgeous throwback photo of his parents.
The famed actor wrote that she had been more than a stepmother as he explained that she had brought out the best in his siblings and their father. He continued and explained she had impacted his own family as:
"Catherine and I and our children adored her; she will always be in our hearts. RIP Anne Douglas."
Anne did not only impact her family. She made big contributions in her community with her philanthropic work throughout her lifetime. She played a big part in the building of the Los Angeles County Music Center.
She also served on the boards for The Mark Taper Forum and the Center Theater Group. She was one of the founders of Cedars-Sinai Research for Women’s Cancers.
She focused on the welfare of LA women as she opened the Anne Douglas Center for Women at the Los Angeles Mission. The German-born Anne was also a producer.
Anne lost her husband of 66 years in 2020. She and Kirk are survived by their sons, Peter, Michael, and Joel, their loving grandchildren, Cameron, Dylan, Carys, Kelsey, Tyler, Jason, and Ryan, and a few great-grandchildren.
