He's 90 today; not a lot of people know that

Or perhaps they do. 

Sir Michael Caine is still working. I wonder if he will go on to beat the longevity of Lilian Gish (76 years before the film camera) or Norman Lloyd (77). His first cinema screen credit came in 1956 with "A Hill in Korea", though he made an uncredited appearance in "Sailor, Beware" that same year. If one counts TV drama, he is already there. In the days of live broadcasting of plays, BBC showed in 1946 a studio recreation of a successful West End drama, "Morning Departure". In this, a young Maurice Micklewhite played, uncredited, a teaboy.
