Spielberg Films Cameo Roles For Austin Powers

[Wednesday, June 5th, 2002]
Steven Spielberg, Tom Cruise and Gwyneth Paltrow will make guest appearances in "Austin Powers In Goldmember". Spielberg says Mike Myers brought a scene over for him to read, asking if he'd be interested.

"I read it and thought it was hysterical," Spielberg said in interviews for his upcoming sci-fi collaboration with Tom Cruise, Minority Report. "I normally wouldn't say yes, but Mike's a very close friend of mine, and the scene was really funny.

"He also had written a part for Gwyneth Paltrow, who's like one of my kids. I knew Gwynnie before she was born. "I sent the pages to Tom and Gwynnie and they both agreed to do it." Cruise said it was only a few hours of shooting that turned out to be "a blast".

"Austin Powers In Goldmember" opens on July 26.
