Stanley Caine (born Stanley Victor Micklewhite; October 1935[2] – 13 January 2013)[3] was an English actor and the younger brother of actor Michael Caine. He was best known for his role as "Coco" in The Italian Job, a film released in 1969 also starring Michael Caine.
In addition to his older brother Michael, Stanley had an older maternal half-brother David whom Stan and Michael only knew of after their mother's death in 1989. Their half-brother died in 1992.[4]
After acting, Caine worked at Selfridge's department store, including in furniture delivery, later becoming a writer; he was also supported by an allowance from his brother, who also bought him two houses, "one to live in and one to rent so he could have some money to buy some booze". Having suffered from alcoholism,[4] Caine was diagnosed with leukemia in early 2008. He died in his sleep in January 2013 in Ruislip, West London.[5]
