Caine parts with movie memories

SIR MICHAEL Caine is selling treasured memorabilia from his career.

The actor and his wife Shakira are auctioning film posters, props and artworks at London’s Bonhams auction house in March as the pair are moving house.

Michael, 88, said: “It’s going to be quite a wrench to part with so many treasured parts of my life and career, but it’s the right time to be moving on. I hope these mementos will give their new owners as much pleasure as they have given us.”

Among the items are two pairs of Caine’s distinctive glasses and a Rolex wristwatch which is expected to sell for up to £12 000 (about R250 000).

A director’s chair from the 1971 film Get Carter, in which Caine played the lead role, is expected to sell for more than £1 000.
