SAYS TRANSVESTITE ROLE WAS TURNED DOWN BY "EVERY AMERICAN ACTOR"
Michael Caine discussed some of his film roles in an article published yesterday in the Los Angeles Times. Here's what he said about working on Dressed To Kill:
That was my only foray into transvestism. It was a very scary movie. I was a great fan of Brian De Palma. He came to me because every American actor turned him down. I'm sure because it was transvestism. But I wasn't afraid of that. I had never done it. But I must say that women's clothes are very uncomfortable. I hated them. Also, I had padded knickers because you have to put on hips. Fortunately for me, there was a real girl who did a lot of [the scenes]. She was 6 feet 2, the same as me and when we got made up, we looked very, very much alike.
