The sad news of her passing was announced just under a fortnight ago, and this week her heartbroken son has publicly spoken out to pay a touching tribute to her.
Following the death of Hollywood actress Diana Douglas Webster, her son Michael Douglas gave an insight into their relationship and life together during an emotionally-charged interview this week.
The 70-year-old, who is currently promoting his new movie Ant-Man, told Variety: “She was a class act. A real lady. She had a wicked sense of humour, very bright. Just all around, she was a wonderful lady.”
Opening up about what she taught him about acting, Michael added: “She taught me more about giving it your best shot and maintaining a good form. She was English-Bermudian so they kind of have a stiff upper lip to carry on.”
Diana passed away from cancer on July 3, at the age of 92. Michael, who said he is “still digesting” her passing, was supported by wife Catherine Zeta-Jones and their two children as he stepped out for the premiere of Ant-Man in the days following his mother’s death.
Catherine, too, paid tribute to her mother-in-law last week, posting a beautiful vintage photo of her on Instagram, saying that she would ‘miss her every day’.
