ROCHESTER, NY (AP) --
Academy Award winner Michael Douglas is donating his personal collection of more than three dozen film prints to Rochester's George Eastman Museum.
Officials at the photography museum located on the estate of Kodak's founder say Thursday that the Douglas collection of 35 mm and 16 mm prints, 37 in all, includes more than 30 that he starred in or produced.
Museum Director Bruce Barnes says Douglas was inspired to make the donation after visiting Rochester last May to receive the George Eastman Award for his contributions to the film industry.
Douglas won an Oscar for best picture for producing 1975's "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" and an Academy Award for best actor 1987's "Wall Street." Those two films are among the donated prints. Others include "The China Syndrome," ''Romancing the Stone" and "Traffic."

NBC News appointed Tom Llamas on Wednesday to replace Lester Holt as anchor of "Nightly News" starting this summer, but he's not abandoning his streaming newscast.
The elevation of Llamas, 45, was widely anticipated. He has been Holt's chief substitute on the broadcast news summary since switching from ABC to NBC in 2021. He's also essentially the lead anchor for the NBC News Now streaming service, hosting the one-hour "Top Story" show.
Holt said last week that he was stepping down from "Nightly News" after a decade. He plans to stay at the network to work at "Dateline NBC."
"Tom has the winning combination of journalistic excellence, passionate storytelling and unyielding integrity — all characteristics that have long been trademarks of NBC `Nightly News,' said Janelle Rodriguez, NBC News' executive vice president of programming.
That leaves ABC's David Muir as the longest-serving evening news anchor at "World News Tonight," as well as the ratings leader. CBS News earlier this year replaced Norah O'Donnell with the team of John Dickerson and Maurice DuBois.
While news is a far different environment from the days Walter Cronkite was beamed into millions of homes at dinnertime, the ABC, CBS and NBC newscasts collectively reach more than 10 million viewers a night. The anchors are generally considered the face of the broadcast news divisions.
Llamas will be the first to take that role while retaining his job on the streaming service. His "Top Story" newscasts will begin each weeknight after "Nightly News" ends.
