Douglas aktyorlik boʻyicha uchlik tojini qoʻlga kiritgan 24 ta ijrochidan biri edi. Hayotining soʻnggi bir necha yillarida Douglas arvohlar bilan bogʻliq gʻayritabiiy hikoyalar bilan filmlarda paydo boʻldi. Douglas 1980-yilda "The Changeling" filmida „senator Jozeph Carmichael“ va 1981 -yilda „Ghost Story“ filmida oʻzining yakuniy filmdagi rolida paydo boʻldi.
