Allen wanted Nicholson not Caine for Hannah role

Woody Allen wanted Jack Nicholson to star in Oscar-winning movie 'Hannah and Her Sisters' but couldn't afford his fee - so instead asked Michael Caine.

The 72-year-old filmmaker let slip that Caine - who won an Academy Award for his performance in the film - wasn't his first choice for the part and he would have preferred 'The Shining' star.
