Nicholson, Jack (22 Apr 1937 - )

Nicholson is a noted actor, director, and producer. His acting debut in Hollywood was in a stage production of Tea and Sympathy. He has appeared in numerous films, including Cry-Baby Killer (1958); Studs Lonigan (1960); Easy Rider (for which he received an Academy Award nomination for best supporting actor, 1969); One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest (Academy Award for Best Actor, 1975); Terms of Endearment (Academy Award, 1983); The Witches of Eastwick (1987); Batman (1989); The Two Jakes (1990); Wolf (1994); and Mars Attacks! (1996).

His sense of humor is legendary in Hollywood. “I don’t believe in God now,” Nicholson told a 1992 Vanity Fair interviewer. But “I can still work up an envy for someone who has a faith. I can see how that could be a deeply soothing experience.”
