Born into poverty in London, when he first decided to become an actor, he was looked upon with amazement: who did he think he was? But he persevered, starting in repertory theater, then tv, and finally succeeding in becoming one of filmdom’s most versatile stars.

Today, despite those successes, Michael Caine retains a keen memory of his origins. He has refused to abandon the Cockney accent that reflects his roots, or the authentic spirit that bends a knee to no one.

Also included are the recollections of friends, co-workers and family members such as actors Julie Walters, Bob Hoskins, Dyan Cannon, Angie Dickinson, Ben Kingsley, Roger Moore, directors Lewis Gilbert and Sidney J. Furie, and Michael Caine’s wife, Shakira.

If I had to pick a favourite "My Cocaine" film, it would be "Educating Rita". I loved the film. I loved Julie Walters as "Rita". And I loved Michael and how he played the role.

I was hooked on Caine when I saw, The Ipcress File when I was about 10-11 years old.   Just so cool!  He's a class act and decent and reflective man.

What a Beautiful Man! The testimonial of the love and honor he gave to his Momma is so humbling and uplifting! May the Glory Of The Almighty Continue to Fall on M.C...and his Family Mightily

The Ford advert in the break has Brian May's "Driven By You" playing in the background, which dates it to early 1992.
