CAINE ALMOST STARVED BEFORE HE MADE IT
SIR MICHAEL CAINE almost starved to death trying to make his mark as an actor.
The ZULU star didn’t break the film industry until he was 30 - after years of struggling, earning next to no money in repertory theatre.
He says, "I went to a rep and I got the job there for a stage manager and one line at the end and I just went at it from there. It was very bad pay and the stage manager gets all the food and I used to wait for plays that we did where there was lots of meals so I could order food and take it home.
"My pay was £2.50 a week and my lodgings were £2.50 so I was in a bit of a state! I was very thin! You want to worry about anorexia, you want to work in rep!
