Michael Douglas Pleads with New York Judge on Son’s Behalf

Michael Douglas hand-wrote a letter to a New York judge asking the courts to be lenient with his son Cameron Douglas' sentence after he pleaded guilty in January to a drug charge that carries a hefty prison sentence.

"I have some idea of the pressures of finding your own identity with a famous father," Michael, son of Kirk Douglas, writes in regards to Cameron. "I'm not sure I can comprehend it with two generations to deal with."

"I love my son, but I'm not blind to his actions. ... I don't want to see him break."
