The Twilight of Michael Caine (But Don't Tell Him That!)
Michael Caine, 72, in today's (Tuesday) issue of Britain's Guardian newspaper on receiving lifetime achievement awards: (He's being honored this month by the National Film Theatre in London, which is holding a month-long retrospective of his films.): "Whenever anyone asks me to do something about my life's work, I keep saying, 'Please, I haven't finished yet. Can you give me another year?' ... In a lifetime achievement award, you just have to watch yourself grow old in 45 minutes." On his breakthrough with Alfie in 1966: "To be a movie star, you have to carry a movie. And to carry a movie where you play the title role is the supreme example. The third thing, for a British actor, is to do it in America. The fourth is to get nominated for an award. That picture did all four things for me."
