Kathleen Turner has apologized to Nicolas Cage for “causing distress” by accusing him of drunk driving and dog theft in her new autobiography. Nicolas Cage began libel proceedings against her in London’s High Court last week after claiming her new book Send Yourself Roses was full of false claims about him.

In the book, Turner alleges that Cage went to great lengths to disobey his director uncle Francis Ford Coppola on the set of Peggy Sue Got Married, adding he found himself in trouble with the police while filming.

Turner insists that she had no intention for the contents of her book to upset Cage, or anybody else, and is deeply sorry for any hurt caused.

She says, “I guess what I can say is I’m truly sorry if I caused distress or harm, because one thing is for sure - I never, ever intended to do that. This is what I remember, these are my thoughts and (they were) certainly not intended to damage anyone else.”

So she’s basically saying that she wasn’t lying or anything, but she’s sorry if Nicolas took offense. I dunno, it sounds like a publicity stunt for her book if you ask me.
