Actor Michael Caine reveals in his autobiography, "What's it All About?," that a reporter told him he had an illegitimate half-brother in a mental institution and he found it was true.
His name was David Burchell, born out of wedlock to Caine's mother, Ellen, before she met Caine's father.The son was epileptic, but he was wrongly diagnosed as mentally ill and insitutionalized. Caine's mother often visited David before she died in 1989 but never told Caine about him.
The actor said David died last year, and he had his ashes buried with their mother's.
