Kirk Douglas had a remarkable experience in 1958 when a premonition from his wife, Anne Buydens, ended up saving his life.
While Douglas was invited by his close friend, producer Mike Todd, to join him on a private plane trip to New York, Anne had a strong, unexplainable feeling that something was wrong. She urged her husband not to go.
Despite their argument, where Douglas dismissed her concerns, he ultimately stayed behind. The next morning, the news broke that Todd's plane, "The Liz," had crashed shortly after takeoff, killing everyone on board. Kirk Douglas was deeply shaken, realizing that his wife's premonition had saved his life
