One and only. A true original. An acting genius hiding behind that disarming wide shark grin. Jack!
My first memory of Jack Nicholson goes back to the Easy Rider (1969), that unforgettable counter-culture classic of a road-buddy movie.
And other classics followed quickly from this unexceptionally talented Actor born in Neptune, New Jersey on April 22, 1937.
His fantastic record includes Films such as One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest (1975), Chinatown (1974), The Postman Always Rings Twice (1981), Prizzis Honor (1985), Terms of Endearment (1983), Batman (1989), A Few Good Men (1992), As Good As It Gets (1997), About Schmidt (2002), and Somethings Gotta Give (2003).
He has been nominated 12 times for the Academy Award and won it in 1976 for Best Actor in a Leading Role in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975), in 1984 for Best Actor in a Supporting Role in Terms of Endearment (1983) , and for a THIRD time in 1998 for Best Actor in a Leading Role in As Good as It Gets (1997).
Did you know these trivia facts about Nicholson?
1)He was abandoned by his father after he was born. For years he thought his grandmother was his mother and his mother was his sister.
2)He was asked to play Michael Corleone in the Godfather before the role ultimately went to Al Pacino.
3)He loves and collects fine art. Owns a few paintings by Picasso.
4)He once said You only lie to two people in your life: your girlfriend and the police.
5)His motto is more good times.
