Actor

Name at birth: Maurice Micklewhite

In the 1960s Michael Caine was the young British movie star with the cockney accent, appearing in Alfie (1966) and as the dark hero Harry Palmer in the spy film The Ipcress File (1965) and two sequels. In the 1970s he was memorable in The Man Who Would Be King (1975, with Sean Connery) and he won a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his role in Woody Allen's 1986 movie Hannah and Her Sisters. Caine won a second Oscar as the melancholy orphanage doctor in The Cider House Rules (1999, with Charlize Theron). Often considered a working-class hero in the movies, Caine is a famously hard worker in real life, having appeared in over 80 films.
