'Uproarious and unflinching' Mail on Sunday 'A truly incredible
life story' The Sun 'Most memorable . . . told in a voice as
distinctive as his spoken one' Independent 'Brims with his gift for
genial anecdote' The Sunday Times One of 'the top 25 most
compelling Hollywood autobiographies' -Guardian * * * From the
author of the bestselling Blowing the Bloody Doors Off, the
original, definitive autobiography of British screen icon and
legend Sir Michael Caine. It's been a long journey for Maurice
Micklewhite - born with rickets in London's poverty-stricken
Elephant & Castle - to the bright lights of Hollywood. With a
glittering career spanning more than five decades and starring
roles which have earned him two Oscars, a knighthood, and an iconic
place in the Hollywood pantheon, the man now known to us as Michael
Caine looks back over it all. Funny, warm, honest, Caine brings us
his insider's view of Hollywood (where there's neither holly nor
woods). He recalls the films, the legendary stars, the off-screen
moments with a gift for story-telling only equalled by David Niven.
Hollywood has been his home and his playground. But England is
where his heart lies. And where he blames the French for the
abundance of snails in his garden. A plaque now celebrates him at
the Elephant in London. His handprint is one of only 200 since 1927
to decorate the hallowed pavement outside that mecca of Hollywood
stars, Grauman's Chinese Theatre. A very British star, The Elephant
to Hollywood is the remarkable full circle of Michael Caine's life.
