 Nicolas Cage: Settles suit against Turner
The actor Nicolas Cage has finally settled a libel suit filed in Britain's High Court against actress Kathleen Turner. Kathleen Turner had written in her autobiography that the actor had been arrested twice for drunken driving and he had stolen a dog.
Neither of the stars attended the hearing at the Court, but Turner's lawyer, book publisher and the Daily Mail, who had published an extract of the autobiography, all apologized to Nicolas Cage and offered to make a substantial donation to a charity of his choice.
Simon Smith, the lawyer of Mr. Cage dismissed as "utter falsity" a section of Turner's book "Send Yourself Roses", describing the actors' experience working together on the set of the movie "Peggy Sue Got Married" in 1986.
In her book, the 53 year old Turner written Nicolas Cage, 44, was "arrested twice for drunk-driving and, I think, for stealing a dog. He'd come across a Chihuahua he liked and stuck it in his jacket".
Smith said that Turner, Headline Publishing Group and Daily Mail publisher Associated Newspapers now accept that, owing to a mistake on Turner's part and despite the other defendants' publishing in good faith, the allegations were defamatory and false. All three agreed to pay Nicolas Cage's legal costs and make the charitable donation. |
