Born on March 14, 1933, Maurice Micklewhite has since starred in some of the finest British films of the last forty years. He is a raconteur, writer, patron of the arts, restaurateur and good old fashioned East End boy made good. Now "collecting his pension" he is still making waves and still making films, and is, with Sean Connery, probably the most respected and popular British film star of his generation. His is a fascinating story of how the combination of ambition, talent, charm and, as always, no small measure of luck, took a boy from Southwark to Hollywood.

This new in-depth biography covers Caine's life and career from the East End to National Service in Korea. From his hard drinking days in London, where he shared a flat with Terence Stamp and partied with the likes of Richard Burton, Albert Finney, Sean Connery and Peter O'Toole to landing the part - against type - of the supercilious Lieutenant in 'Zulu', the role which first brought him to the attention of the public and critics. Two years later at the age of 34 came his first Oscar nomination for his role in Bill Naughton's 'Alfie'. Thereafter he was a star appearing in some of the best and most successful films of the last thirty years. Today Caine is as busy as ever. He owns, or part owns, six top London restaurants, produces films, is a patron of the arts and theatre and still finds time to act.
