Nicolas Cage Cleared Chihuahua Claims

Nicolas Cage did not steal a Chihuahua, despite a claim that American actress Kathleen Turner published in her 2008 memoir Send Yourself Roses. Turner alleged that Cage stole the dog and received two drunk-driving arrests while they made the 1986 film Peggy Sue Got Married, and the Daily Mail repeated those claims. Cage filed a libel action in London's High Court against Turner, Headline Publishing Group, and Daily Mail publisher Associated Newspapers. The defendants acknowledged that the allegations were false, apologized, agreed to cover Cage's legal costs, and made a substantial donation to his chosen charity.
