You're wrong. His name is not Michael Caine

Article Abstract:

Impressionists John Sessions and Phil Cornwell have worked together to create 'Stella Street,' a series of short television programmes to be broadcast over Christmas 1997. The programmes will feature a street that is supposed to be in Surbiton, London, England, and has famous people such as Roger Moore, Dirk Bogarde and Joe Pesci living there. The series was based on an idea in which Roger Moore and David Bowie spend Christmas alone together. However, the cast list soon expanded to include other characters who Cornwell and Sessions find attractive.

Taking the Michael

Article Abstract:

The most recent television interview of Michael Jackson and his wife Lisa Marie Presley was designed to give the appearance of being tough and searching, but in practice the interviewer, Diane Sawyer, has limited in the directness of the questions she could ask. The interview was an example of the growing trend for celebrities to dictate an interview, rather than the interviewer. Television stations are prepared to agree to almost anything to encourage a celebrity to agree to an interview.

Acting for Crewe and camera

Article Abstract:

It is vital to cast a documentary extremely well, according to film director Philippa Lowthorpe. She has even gone as far as to use people who are not professional actors. In her latest production, 'Eight Hours From Paris,' she has placed ordinary people in a fictional context. It is very hard to tell who is a professional actor and who is not. Lowthorpe admits that this was a very risky approach, especially as she held no screen tests or rehearsals.
