Is Nicolas Cage disowning his career-defining role? Does Maria Conchita Alonso know this?

No, "Vampire's Kiss" is still sacred. The actor appeared on "Late Night With David Letterman" Feb. 9 to put a wooden spike to the rumors that the actor's a blood-sucking time traveler from the Civil War era. Considering that fact never made Ken Burns's documentary, Cage shouldn't have needed to prove up that he didn't walk among the undead.
Of course, Cage's credibility was a little suspect since "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" actor was actually on Letterman to promote "Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance" -- and how could that action flick have gotten a sequel without drawing a little blood?
