A while ago we told about you Nicolas Cage’s beef with his former Peggy Sue Got Married co-star.  In a new autobiography, actress Kathleen Turner claimed Cage was a bit of troublemaker around the time the two worked together.

“He caused so many problems. He was arrested twice for drunk-driving and, I think, once for stealing a dog. He’d come across a chihuahua he liked and stuck it in his jacket.”

Well Cage was so irked by the accusations he had a defamation and libel suit filed in London’s High Court.  The actress’ UK publishers and Britain’s Daily Mail (a newspaper that printed an excerpt from the book) were also named in the complaint.

Two months later, the issue has finally ended on a satisfactory note for the Ghost Rider star.  In addition to a written apology from the Mail, the book’s publishers will add a correction and apology in copies of the book. 

To pay back for her part in the whole matter, Kathleen, 53, will cover Nicolas Cage‘s legal fees and make a ‘substantial donation’ to a charity of his choosing (the National Adult Protective Services Foundation).

Let this serve as an cautionary tale to other actors.  If you think you may be publishing your own autobiography sometime in the future, may sure you start by writing the correct facts down now.
