Michael Caine | Born 1933

Actors of the newer generations are certainly proud to have worked with such a talented actor like Sir Michael Caine. For starters, he was born on March 14, 1933, in Rotherhithe, London. He has been in the industry for seven decades and has appeared in nearly 200 films, including the fan favorites The Italian Job and Hannah and Her Sisters. His Cockney accent has become his signature. No wonder, seven of his films are featured in the 100 greatest British films of the 20th century by the British Film Institute. In 2000, he was subsequently knighted by Queen Elizabeth II for his immense contribution to films.

Caine has two Academy Awards to his credit, including three Golden Globe Awards and a British Academy Film Award. He has been married to Shakira Baksh since 1973, with whom he shared a daughter. He also had a daughter with his first wife Patricia Haines.
