Kathleen
Turner Apologizes to Nicolas Cage Over Book Claims
2/14/08
Kathleen Turner has apologized to Nicolas Cage for "causing
distress" by accusing the actor of drink-driving and theft in her new
autobiography.
Cage began libel proceedings against his Peggy Sue Got Married co-star
in London's High Court last week (08Feb08) after claiming her new book
Send Yourself Roses was full of false claims about him.
In the book, Turner alleges Cage went to great lengths to disobey his
director uncle Francis Ford Coppola on the set of their 1986 movie, adding
he found himself in trouble with police while filming.
But the 53-year-old actress insists she had no intention for the
contents of her book to upset Cage, or anybody else, and is deeply sorry
for any hurt caused.
She says, "I guess what I can say is I'm truly sorry if I caused
distress or harm, because one thing is for sure - I never, ever intended
to do that.
"This is what I remember, these are my thoughts and (they were)
certainly not intended to damage anyone else."
