Oscar-winning actor Michael Douglas hails from humble ancestral origins.
On Tuesday's episode of "Finding Your Roots," the "Fatal Attraction" and "Basic Instinct" actor traces his paternal roots back 200 years to a part of Belarus when it was part of the Russian territory the Pale of Settlement. The show found the resting place of the Douglases' Jewish ancestry — ancestors who suffered discrimination and challenges in Europe because of their Jewish identity.
