Burt Bacharach didn't just make cameo appearances in all three Austin Powers movies; he also influenced Mike Myers' creation of the franchise.
Burt Bacharach made unforgettable cameo appearances in the Austin Powers movies. Bacharach is one of the most renowned and influential figures in 20th-century pop music. A pioneer of the “easy listening” subgenre, Bacharach received an impressive number of awards, including six Grammys, three Oscars, and an Emmy. Rolling Stone magazine ranked Bacharach alongside his frequent collaborator Hal David as one of the greatest songwriters of all time.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Since Bacharach sadly passed away at the age of 94 on February 8, 2023, his fans have been reflecting on his decades-long tenure as one of the most popular and acclaimed musicians in history. In addition to his iconic recording career, Bacharach gave a few memorable performances in film and TV projects.
The Austin Powers cameo arrived as a surprise for Bacharach : “I never saw it coming. Mike and [director] Jay [Roach] had me over and said, ‘We’re bringing you to Las Vegas and you’ll stay one night and we’ll do this one thing.’ And lo and behold, Austin Powers became a huge hit.” Bacharach was brought back for further cameo appearances in each of the two sequels. These cameos in the wildly successful Austin Powers movies introduced Bacharach’s music to a new generation of young listeners.
Bacharach Added Heart To The Austin Powers Franchise Bacharach popped up during some of the Austin Powers franchise’s most surprisingly sweet moments. In the first movie, when he plays piano on a bus ride through Vegas, Austin is showing his love interest, Vanessa Kensington, how to let her hair down and have a good time.
For the most part, the Austin Powers movies are comprised of witty one-liners, crude double entendres, and funny James Bond references and tropes. But the movies also found plenty of time for heartwarming moments – whether Austin was wooing a new romantic interest or embracing the love of the diabolical arch-nemesis who turned out to be his long-lost brother – and a cameo appearance by Bacharach always telegraphed those heartwarming moments.
