On January 4, 1973, at the Sherry Netherland Hotel in Manhattan the 40-year-old Michael Caine introduced me to the girl he’s going to marry, the 25-year-old Shakira Baksh. The ravishing 1967 Miss Guyana, who came in third in the Miss World contest in London, was born to an Indian Muslim family. Caine’s most recent film assignment was costarring with Laurence Olivier in Sleuth. Four days after I met them, they tied the knot in a quiet ceremony in Las Vegas, his second marriage.
