Ia dilahirkan di Amsterdam, New York, dalam keluarga imigran Rusia Yahudi miskin Herschel Danielovitch dan Bryna Sanglel. Keduanya berimigrasi dari Homyel, sekarang di Belarusia. Di St. Lawrence University ia masuk tim gulat. Untuk membiayai sekolahnya, ia mencoba meraih beasiswa acting. Bakatnya menarik perhatian American Academy of Dramatic Arts di New York City, dan ia mendapat beasiswa bersama dengan Betty Joan Perske (kemudian dikenal sebagai Lauren Bacall) dan Diana Dill. Ia kemudian masuk ke U.S. Navy dan bertugas dalam Perang Dunia II dari 1941 sampai 1945. Pada 1943 ia menikahi Dill, dan setelah perang ia kembali ke New York City, memulai karier dalam teater dan iklan radio sambil mencari peluang di Broadway.
Douglas dibantu rekannya Lauren Bacall memperoleh peran pertamanya dalam film Hal B. Wallis, The Strange Love of Martha Ivers (1946), bersama Barbara Stanwyck. Ia kemudian meraih 3 nominasi Oscar untuk film Champion, The Bad and the Beautiful, dan Lust for Life. Ia tidak memenangkan satupun, tetapi meraih penghargaan khusus pada 1996 untuk "50 years as a moral and creative force in the motion picture community". Dalam wawancara, ia selalu menyebut Lonely Are the Brave (1962) sebagai karya terbaiknya.
