When he was seduced by a wealthy girl one summer, he refused to take the relationship any further because he was more interested in her Cadillac.
The Hollywood legend said: "I met a very attractive girl with rich parents. She said her father would buy us a nice apartment in New York and take care of all of our expenses while I was in drama school.
"She had a beautiful Cadillac and there was the extra dividend of good sex. What else could a poor Jewish boy want? But deep down inside I knew I would end up as a man without character. Bottom line, I just couldn't do it."
Kirk also revealed Ava Gardner once turned up at his apartment in the middle of the night crying over her marriage to Frank Sinatra.
He said: "Ava was sobbing. She said they had had an argument. Frank had a gun. He threatened to commit suicide. I said, 'Ava, married people have arguments. Frank loves you. You must go back and try to act like nothing happened.' "
