The Last Days of Jack Nicholson

Lol. What? He is looking for someone to take care of him in his old age? Fuck him. Go hire a nurse.

Why do people get so lonely in their old age? I would think that with all that money, success, and experience that he'd be happy to retire on his own in a nice villa somewhere.

How many kids does he have? Have they all fled from him?

Jaxk Nicholson trying to come on to Jennifer Lawrence at the Oscars. Pathetic.

[quote]He said he was regretful that his philandering had left him without a steady partner to take care of him in his old age.

Hard to feel much sympathy. As the old saying goes, he made his bed…

Oh, boo fucking hoo.

He treated people like they were disposable all throughout his life, and now he's sad karma has come back to him?

Pay attention Leo - this is going to be you one day.

no sympathy. The man is a lech. He made his own bed...

Casting couch whore humiliating a legend at the Oscars. Pure class, Jen.

He's in Atlanta soon shooting new movie with Ben Affleck, "The Accountant." For any stalkers wanting info on his whereabouts. Someone should take him to the strip clubs on Cheshire Bridge and get him laid.

It's probably usually straight men, R1. They always need somebody to take care of them and stroke their ego (and other parts). Women are more independent. My mother had two relationships after my father died. Both of them wanted to marry her, but she wasn't into it. She told me that she didn't want to get stuck nursing some old sick guy.

Okay, now I know this thread must be overrun with fraus. And I never say that.

But who else would try to slut shame one of the greatest coolest actors who ever lived and did what he wanted always. As if most people wouldn't have traded places with him a dozen times over.

It can't possibly be gay men saying this shit, can it?

He still lives in the same house where Polanski raped that 13 year old. Anyone with any decency would have sold that house as soon as the scandal died down.

[quote] They always need somebody to take care of them and stroke their ego (and other parts). Women are more independent.

Not when they're younger, they go insane if not fucked regularly.

But in old age, they're much better on their own than men.

He treated his partners abominably. What's to be proud of there, R11? He screwed around on Angelica Huston and then just casually, and cruelly, dropped the bombsehell that he had gotten some chick he was fucking pregnant while they were having dinner. Yeah, real cool.

He and Lou Adler should just get married.

Most women, after they get divorced or widowed, don't want to get married again. If some old coot's wife of 3 decades died, he's remarried within a few months.

Great actor with so many great roles and performances that will be appreciated for generations to come. His personal life will be long forgotten.

[quote]But who else would try to slut shame one of the greatest coolest actors who ever lived

He did himself. He says he's lonely now...that's the point of this thread.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

R17 Who said he wasn't a great actor? He's one of my favorites. But facts are facts: he treated his lovers like shit and discarded them whenever he got bored with them, and now karma has come back to him.

Nope, not buying it. He was extremely loyal to his friends -- see famous story of him buying back Robert Evans house when broke Evans had to sell it. That goes for Polanski too (and he wasn't there the night that shit went down). And even Huston doesn't play him off as awful. He was always not just talented but beloved. I love that he kept the same small agent his whole life, became his only client once he got big and set him for life -- instead of dumping him for CAA like most would have.

Don't get the parents thing since he was lied to his whole youth and the woman he thought was his sister was actually his mother. No small thing.

And, yes, some of you snarky ones won't believe it, but one of the greatest nights of my life was sitting in that famous Evans screening room watching a movie I had written -- with Nicholson on the back row. Sleeping, probably (he didn't have much to say after, ha) but so fucking cool anyway. Evans is my hero. Nicholson a close second.

That's the world right now R8 ugly cumdumpsters like j law have social status

r22: as opposed to ugly cum dumpers like Nicholson?

Very sad but that is the price of getting so much strange.

Lol R23 don't know much about biology do you

He wants someone to take care of him while he fucks around on her, like it used to be in the good ol' days.

It has nothing to do with his acting. Many talented people through the ages have been horrible.

It's probable finding out his sister was his mother was a shock, but he was 37 when he found out about it. It's not as if he was in his formative years. He was already fucking around on all of his partners.

Not that sad, Jesus, he's still working and healthy and doing whatever the fuck he wants to do as he always did. I'm sure some of this "lonely" talk is just a man in his last act, which has to be a drag for anybody. But he's hardly in a nursing home or alone in a single apartment somewhere. He even has at least one daughter to love him.

All this talk but really he wasn't ever that controversial, no drug overdoses or spouse abuse. And he and Huston were together a long long time so he wasn't even non-commital in that regard. The golf club incident was about it and we've all been there, to some extent. Almost every co-star to the one adored him too -- even MacLaine on that nightmare shoot, Dunaway too.

The ultimate man's man and, yep, I bet he got laid a lot too. So don't cry for him, Frauen and Frauen sympathizers.

It pisses me off that he still smokes, how is he gonna live forever if he keeps that up? I don't want us to be without him. That old geezer is fun.

JN was into Wilhelm Reich. Looks like his tuning fork went limp.

R28 Who cares? What has he ever done for gays?

Never did anything remotely against gays either.

Another favorite story: When Evans was in his darkest hour, connected to a murder trial and cocaine, nobody would talk to him and most were thrilled to see his downfall. But Nicholson called him up when the actor was up for "Ironweed", they both laughed that no way he was winning, and NIcholson insisted Evans go to the Oscars as his date. When all the others shunned Evans, Jack said fuck you and stood by him. They went and had a blast, all evil eyes on them. And it helped Evans start his way back.

So rare in L.A. and no small thing. My kind of guy. No matter how many bitches he fucked, ha.

I'll bet those women loved him, he was a hoot. So they were disappointed and broken hearted, it comes with getting involved with a rascal. He was probably the most fun they ever had.

I thought he had Alzheimer's and couldn't work anymore.

[quote]He was probably the most fun they ever had.

Until it stopped being fun. That's how it works.

R34 is so earnest.

R31 what's Evans house like? It looks incredible from 'kid stays in the picture'

Actually I'm frank.

Screw you lot, Nicholson is a living legend, there's no other Hollywood star like him around now.

A great actor and a great supporter of the arts.

Something tells me it will turn around for him, if he really wants it to.

And...of course a whore always has SOME regrets as we age.

No R37 you are a miserable fat Frau

@10: "It's probably usually straight men, [R1]. They always need somebody to take care of them and stroke their ego (and other parts). Women are more independent. My mother had two relationships after my father died. Both of them wanted to marry her, but she wasn't into it. She told me that she didn't want to get stuck nursing some old sick guy."

That's my mother! She remarried after my dad died (she was seventy, Husband No. 2 was ten years older). That guy died five years later. Now she has another relationship (and the day of her second husband's funeral, some other guy called wanting to take her out). This second guy wants to marry her, and he has money to boot, but though she loves him, he's a slob and she doesn't want to deal with it. She's been incredibly clean/organized her whole life and also has a great aesthetic (decorating, atmosphere)and just won't take this guy's home life on. I've gotten used to the idea there are no artifacts from her long life because she just throws stuff out, can't stand clutter. If we don't jump on things right away, out it goes.

I think Jack's problem is he feels he can't hit on a Jennifer Lawrence. I doubt 77 year old Jack is hitting on fellow senior citizens. That's his tragedy - the young gals don't go for him anymore. Boo hoo. If he wanted companionship and targeted somebody age appropriate, he might have a shot.

His kids all come around, supposedly they want him to sell his large Mulholland compound and downsize to something smaller and easier to manage, but he's resisting so far.

Harry Dean Stanton, who is now 88 and his oldest pal just said he calls him every week, even though they hardly see each other in person much lately. He says Jack still gets visitors.

"I love that he kept the same small agent his whole life, became his only client once he got big and set him for life -- instead of dumping him for CAA like most would have."

That agent had other clients (can't remember the name - Bressler?). Just not clients at Jack's level. I knew one of his agent's clients (Terry Lester, a soap actor) before Lester died.

And what happened to his thing with Diane Keaton from a few years ago? They were inseparable for a while. She's age-appropriate. He can certainly show an interest in older women, there are plenty around LA.

I imagine him to be draining and boring company. I'm sure he never stops talking and trying out his time-worn routines and lines, he's such a cheesy old ham.

R3 He has a middle-aged daughter from his first (and only) marriage, two much younger children (now in their 20s) with Rebecca Broussard (who he left Anjelica Huston for) and two other children with different women he must have had flings with.

His two youngest ones he seems pretty close to, I think they grew up living with him (or at least he saw plenty of them after his relationship with Broussard ended) He's been photographed with them plenty of times over the years.

He never got over finding out that his sister was really his mother.

Is Anjelica seeing anyone, or married? it seems to me they were real intellectual equals.

He broke her heart, I wonder if there's a chance? I really thought they were perfect for each other.

R4 Nah, people love to see Jack being Jack, I doubt he really intended to nail J-Law that night.

R48 She was married to this sculptor and they lived in this apparently very unusual looking house (no idea what it looks like though) but unfortunately he died recently.

Pretty, R36, though I didn't get a tour or anything, just front foyer to screening room. And fountain out front was gorgeous as in the doc. He couldn't have been nicer (Evans), great host. Just as I had hoped. His son Josh was there too, also nice guy.

And, yeah, R43, Sandy Bressler had other clients, at least in the 80s (I remember the younger kid from that William Tell series was his, for some reason, though I can't remember his name, Barry or Gray or something, cute kid we brought in for casting once and he bitched that someone was on the phone during his audition, ha). But I thought eventually they all went to the wayside and he spent all his time on Jack, who always got priority anyway. Bressler (Bresler?) also comes off well in that Julia Philips book when they want Jack for "Close Encounters..."

Thanks for remembering his name, I was going crazy trying to remember it and trying to resist Google. :) Those were good days in the biz for sure.

As desperate as he sounds, I don't think even Jack would get back with Angelica unless he wanted to risk offing himself by having a heart attack waking up to this every morning.

[quote]And what happened to his thing with Diane Keaton from a few years ago? They were inseparable for a while. She's age-appropriate. He can certainly show an interest in older women, there are plenty around LA.

I think she would go for it, but you just know he would prefer a young piece.

He should do what Ken Russell did and place a personals ad.

Why can't he just hire a live-in nurse??

R52 Harsh. But yeah, what happened to her?

Happy he's dying alone.

Anjelica Huston and described the time they split up as the "toughest period of my life".

WTF? He dumped her!!!

Spoiled entitled asshole.

It's the Irish-Italian mix, R56. It works, but only up to a certain age, after which you quickly turn to shit.

Hardly, R45, he was never much of a yacker. I imagine he's far more likely to smoke a joint and sit around straring at the world, bemused.

Sad losing Terry Lester that young, R43. Didn't know him but thought he was pretty cool, back in the day when we still had soap stars.

He had a thing with Diane Keaton a few years ago??? Really? That was actually one of my fondest geriatric movie star wishes after seeing them in "Something's Gotta Give" and then when they later presented Best Movie together at the Oscars. They have SO much chemistry and it's clear she likes him a lot.

I echo what a poster said about Nicholson's loyalty to his friends. I remember when Dennis Hopper was terminally ill with cancer and was honored with a long overdue star at the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Not only did Nicholson show up but he wore an Easy Rider T-shirt that made this obviously dying man break out in huge smiles. There are pics of them together at the event with Nicholson in that T-shirt laughing it up with Hopper, who was so obviously very sick and so obviously delighted at his friend's presence. It was very touching to see this.

Jack is loyal to old friends but sometimes cruel to his women. He famously feuded with Susan Anspach for years and tried to have her kicked out of her house after their son came of age (he owned the house). Lots of bad blood and press there.

Nice story, R60, I hadn't heard that one. Hopper is still missed, eh.

I could be wrong but I thought the Keaton romance was way way back, like even to "Reds" days before she ended up with Beatty (another NIcholson pal whom I bet still hangs around). Must admit Keaton has taken better care of herself than most any of her peers, including Jack. Time is a bitch. But all this talk about nurses and such... I don't think he's really dying, is he? They wouldn't have insured him for the Affleck movie, for one thing.

Anspach was no picnic. Why she never had the career she could have, starting with losing "Nashville" (the Ronee Blakely role) over some stupid deal detail.

I always felt Nicholson's "thing" about Diane Keaton was just publicity for "Something's Got To Give" and nothing real. There *were* rumors about them circa *Reds* (when she was nominally with Warren Beatty) but by the time of *Something's Got to Give* I bet it was a couple of affectionate old pros just working it to publicize the movie.

Years ago I remember reading somewhere this difference between Ali MacGraw and Diane Keaton. MacGraw would date an obscure artist or a yoga teacher or whatever. No matter what her friends tried, Keaton was only ever with some heavyweight (Allen, Pacino, etc.). It seemed to me that when she passed a certain point in her career a lightbulb went on with Keaton, and she stopped being the foil to some superstar artiste type, and became very independent. But I don't know how that translated to her private life.

Also years ago, I was an extra on Prizzi's Honor (Directed by John Huston). We extras were in a church in Brooklyn. The bulk of the day's shoot appeared to be Nicholson reacting to the sight of Kathleen Turner in the church balcony (she was not on set that day; there was a stand in serving as a focal point). So it was mostly getting Nicholson's reaction shot. I heard stories that he flirted with the bridesmaids extras (it was a wedding scene). But what I remember most was his complete patience. They shot over and over this one scene of a photographer shooting Nicholson's character, and Nicholson's character avoiding being photographed. The guy playing the photographer was very nervous, and needed a lot of coaxing/direction from Huston. Nicholson did take after take after take, completely patient and composed. I always wondered if he was like that because it was Angelica Huston's dad (Angelica Huston was on set that day - had her own reaction shots filmed). However, I was extremely struck by how quiet he was, how cooperative, and how attentive he was to everything said by Huston, even though what they were shooting was extremely minor in the big picture, so to speak.

Call me Jack. I'll always be your little chance.

[quote]It seemed to me that when she passed a certain point in her career a lightbulb went on with Keaton, and she stopped being the foil to some superstar artiste type, and became very independent. But I don't know how that translated to her private life.

No. Read her books. She displays no growth of any kind. Allen, Beatty and Pacino all dumped her and then she just adopted kids and became obsessed with them.

I kind of doubt that's true. I can't imagine that he's lonely and bereft of female companionship. He's rich and famous. There must be a million young "actresses" in LA who would feign love for him because of that, and he'd be none the wiser. Someone like that is never without company or someone looking to keep him company.

Or, R67, CALL GIRLS! Jack's just going for some brooding lion in winter b.s.

If someone as ugly and gross as Stephen Fry can find some 27 year old to marry him, I can't imagine a far more attractive (even if he's 20 years older) Jack Nicholson couldn't find some gold-digger to fill his last days (and have the help change his nappies).

Vanity, vanity… all is vanity!

Not even in the dark & for all of the money in the world. Nope. No way. Just gross.

I told unspeakable lies about me.

Agree that this thread has its share of finger wagging fraus, but this?

[quote]Casting couch whore humiliating a legend at the Oscars. Pure class, Jen.

What? She's annoying as fuck but the girl can act. Anyway, what's she supposed to do? Drop on her knees and suck off the wrinkled old frog because he's a "legend?" Reality check please!

R73 well j laws facial pics are on the net so....

Jack Nicholson in a film with Ben Affleck? Christ Jack could have done so much better than him!!!!!!!!!! Who on earth signed Jack up for this? Of course the REAL story may turn out to be Jennifer Garner leaving Ben Affleck for Jack Nicholson.Goodness knows that lady deserves better. And Drew Barrymore on here offering herself as well?

Diane Keaton is a doormat.

Teri Garr said he was a loyal and generous friend to her in down times.

He could probably find someone to love him for him but he doesn't want any woman who is age appropriate. He wants a 20 something hottie like JLaw. He would probably like Olivia Munn, too. He loves to entertain so he needs a woman who has a sense of humor. And who can entertain him back. Didn't Keaton admit that she was in love with him? I bet Huston never got over him. The mother of his children was a bit player in the movie Two Jakes and pretty much stopped acting to take care of them. That means a woman doesn't have to be a celebrity to catch his eye. If he met the RIGHT nurse, it might be the best thing for him;)

When I think of Nicholson, for some reason I always think about something he said in some interview YEARS ago. Rolling Stone, maybe? He said that in Hollywood, no one splits checks at dinner. Whoever is making the most picks up the tab, and I always thought that was such a cool little detail.

Thank you, R40. Coming from you, that's a wonderful compliment.

I see nothing wrong with Jennifer Lawrence's reaction to Nicholson. She didn't mock him at all; rather, she was quite agog that she had just talked to someone as famous as he. I think it was rather sweet and respectful. Why would anyone see any rudeness in her reaction?

He walked by, saw it was Lawrence, and said hello and that he loved her in the movie. She was flattered and flabbergasted and kibbitzed with him. Which he loved. He was probably half-serious about waiting for her. At no time did she humiliate Jack Nicholson, r8. You are kind of a dick yourself. Kid.

I always knew he was "Five Easy Pieces" for real.

I have no doubt that he can still get women but what he's saying is that he wished he had a wife. That's not so hard to believe, he's a 77 year old man. Most of his friends would have wives. No doubt he can pay to have a nurse come around if he's unwell and he can pay for a young hooker to blow him but maybe he wants a relationship that's a bit more personal. He's may be Cool Jack Nicholson to the fans but he's also an old man living in a big house alone.

And finding a wife isn't as easy as finding a fuck even if you're Jack. He wouldn't want a woman his own age. He'd want a 30yr old but the only 30yr old interested in movie stars pushing 80 are gold diggers so where does that leave him. No wonder he has a few regrets about his philandering. Even Jack is allowed regrets.

Keaton and Nicholson see each other for lunch at Nicholson's house every week or so. She says that she's in love with him and he likes her. They've never been more than friends. She says she fell in love with him on the set of Reds and has been in love with him ever since. (At the time she was still Beatty's girlfriend, but he was cheating on her with a number of women, including Mary Tyler Moore, who, like Keaton, lived in the San Remo, on Central Park West, but in the other tower. According to a friend, Keaton could see not only Moore's apartment from her own but also Beatty whenever he was visiting Moore.) She's said more than once that none of the men she loved ever proposed to her because she drove them all crazy. Of course, Keaton's schtick has always been self-deprecation.

Keaton tells the story that a few months after Something's Gotta Give opened, her manager called to say that she had received a check from the studio and wondered why, since he knew from her agent that she didn't have any back-end participation in the movie's revenue. (She wasn't a big enough star anymore.) She asked her friend Nancy Meyers, the film's director and producer, who told her that after Nicholson saw the final cut he said that if the movie turned out to be a hit, Keaton would be the reason, and he reworked his contract to give her a percentage of his percentage. Obviously, there's a lot of affection between them, and no matter what Keaton says, all evidence suggests it's mutual.

"No wonder he has a few regrets about his philandering."

He probably doesn't regret it, he just wonders why some girl or another didn't stick around in spite of it.

Keaton is undoubtedly better off being Nicholson's friend than his lover. It seems that he treats his friends much, much better.

Alzheimers is a terminal illness.

I take his remarks to mean that he wishes he was in love with someone not just that they are in love with him.

Shit all straight men want wives, too bad all women are whores nowadays

R87 Alzheimers is not a terminal illness. To many, regrettably so. Depending when you get it you can exist for years even decades. You die if old age or whatever physical ailments you would have normally had anyway ...

[quote]If some old coot's wife of 3 decades died, he's remarried within a few months.

That's because a lot of the older generation of men got waited on by their wives and don't know how to do anything. My uncle couldn't even make a cup of coffee or do a load of laundry. So they remarry to have another live in maid.

He's overrated anyways. Always plays the same role...himself.

R92. No, he doesn't. About Schmidt. Watch it.

True. Most of the time he plays the bad boy lovable rogue.

[quote]If some old coot's wife of 3 decades died, he's remarried within a few months.

A lot of men that age don't know how to do simple things like make a pot of coffee or do a load of laundry because their wife did it. They remarry so another woman can take care of things.

[quote]He probably doesn't regret it (philandering), he just wonders why some girl or another didn't stick around in spite of it.

It sounds like Anjelica did, for a very long time. They saw each other on/off for 2 decades but for him to notched up the thousands of conquests he's allegedly had, he must have cheated on her CONSTANTLY.

Well, I'm guessing in his mind (and possibly her's too) all the random one night stands didn't count as "cheating".

Suggest you read the article a little more closely OP and other posters of the usual DL free floating anger coupled with stupidity.

He realitically assesses his life, his success, his womanizing and takes responsibility for it. I suggest all of you poster conducting perfect lives with perfect certainty try a little humility. He wants to grow old withsomebodybut thinks it's too late and his rep too difficult. Doubt any of the nasty posters on this thread have an ounce of his honesty- because if you did- you would not be so judgemental. Life is hard and growing old is not easy- no matter who you are. But then I guess most on this thread think they will be young forever and of course have all the answers.

All this talk of nurses and changing diapers, he's an extremely well-off man living in Los Angeles, so if luck's on his side he shouldn't reach that stage for some years yet (if he doesn't keel over within 5 years from now). Only poor and unlucky people end up needing care in their 70s.

Nicholson was cool. He knew how to keep bitches in line. No matter what he did they women coming back for more. Respect you forever Jack. You are the man.

*No matter what he did the women kept coming back for more

Jack saw his friend and neighbour Brando's endgame (TV, ice-cream, immobility) and naturally hopes for better.

Now Jack's memo is out there, I imagine things might just look up for him.

I doubt Nicholson was made angry by his "sister" turning out to be his mother. If so, he shouldn't have taken it personally. Happened all the time in the old days. A character on Downton Abbey even mentioned it recently. That was what unwed mothers did in the old days. People felt sympathy for them if it was discovered years later, because the child's father had dumped them and it was either that or an orphanage. People weren't lying out of selfishness, they had no choice. It was a different time. Happened in my family too, about the same era.

Nicholson cheated on every girlfriend he ever had, and he wasn't discreet about it. In his age group, many actors' wives put up with it but they ended up getting left anyway. The guys his age who didn't keep a 20 years younger wife, now old too, are alone. At some point you have to realize the options are running out, rich or not.

Well, according to a prostitute who wrote a book, I KNOW!, about some of her celebrity clients, he is/was good in the sack. Imaginative. Generous. But, he sometimes liked to smack the girls around. And he could act very cold after the playdate. MM also has that rep. Not at all the warm and fuzzy and funny "Jack" once the bill was paid. So yeah. He REALLY knew how to keep his bitches in line.

I would marry him now and I am much younger then him. He could see other women also, if I could too. :)

Come on, does any woman date someone like Jack Nicholson and expect him to be faithful? It's all a ruse so they can play hurt victim later.

Though I wouldn't be surprised if all this lonely press is just one more way Nicholson is pulling the puppet strings, getting ladies to come to papa. "I can change him" or whatever. He could teach a class on this to other hetero guys.

His casual dinner announcement to Angelica that he impregnated another woman was maybe an attempt at defusing the situation, but it was an admission of unprotected sex. He crossed the line, and he knew it.

Partners who tolerate philandering don't tolerate being put at risk. That's the major unwritten rule of outside sex – don't bring anything home to your partner.

Are you fucking people crazy?

I know the female hate on DL is out of control. I've been guilty of it myself on certain threads, but you're defending Jack Nicholson????

He's a POS of the highest order. Involved (allegedly, of course) in pedophilia (12-14yrs), treats his exes like shit including blacklisting, is even alleged to have slapped them around on occasion.

Robert Evans is another piece of work who could give Don Simpson a run for his money back in the day, and that's saying something.

I fucked people crazy all the fuckin' time.

r99? Simmah DOWN NOW!

Who is MM?

Michael Medved? Mitch McConnell? Mary (Tyler) Moore? Michael Musto?

I thought he never did interviews. I don't know much about him even though he's been famous for years.

r105 I like your style.

Imagine being alone with his three Oscars.

"I doubt Nicholson was made angry by his "sister" turning out to be his mother."

Do you, now? He is a complete stranger, how would you have any idea what he thought of such life altering news?

"Involved (allegedly, of course) in pedophilia (12-14yrs)"

You're confusing him with Polanski who was staying at his house while he and Anjelica were out of the state. He had nothing to do with that incident.

R90 sounds like she's in denial. Certainly her English and thought processes indicate her own dementia.

Alzheimer's is a "terminal" disease. That it is not, usually, quickly fatal and sufferers may die of something else before the cascade of Alzeimer's effects gets them doesn't change its course. A body that "forgets" how to swallow and breathe, among other issues, is going to die.

The link is accessible. Please have one of your caregivers read it and try to explain it to you, R90.

Who the hell is Robert Evans?

[quote]Though I wouldn't be surprised if all this lonely press is just one more way Nicholson is pulling the puppet strings, getting ladies to come to papa. "I can change him" or whatever. He could teach a class on this to other hetero guys.

Yep.

Please, the man has $$$, he can hire whatever caregiving he needs. He wants some hapless younger female to mistreat, companion-wise. And he'll get offers, of that you can be sure.

I liked this better when Greg Kinnear was in it and playing gay.

No I'm not r116. He hung around with Polanski and Evans for a reason. Allegedly, of course.

Good post R119 the Irish are generally simpletons as a rule, but a few like Nicholson can be cunning and manipulative...you don't rise to the level of jack in hwood without serious psychopathic tendencies.

Seriously, R118? We are breaking up.

I'm sending you to DL Jail where you must read "The Kid Stays in the Picture" and then MAYBE we'll let you back on.

I remember hearing once he's died, there will be Prince Andrew type stories coming out about him.

I can respect him as an actor but he is one creepy man

Re: Evans--spill what you know, r108, please

He's creepy -- then and now.

Well, I loved him in Easy Rider, Chinatown and Fve Easy Pieces. Those were enough to make me a fan.

[quote]That's because a lot of the older generation of men got waited on by their wives and don't know how to do anything. My uncle couldn't even make a cup of coffee or do a load of laundry. So they remarry to have another live in maid.

It's also because so many elderly women are widows. It's like shooting fish in a barrel.

He should have picked a woman to settle down with when he turned 66.

I guess Lara Flynn Boyle's out of the question.

Let's face it: most young women don't want to bang an old man no matter how much money they could get out of it.

R131 Tell that to Hugh Hefner.

He is publicly pro life.

I love him for that.

I watched The Making of The Shining film the other day (filmed by Kubrick's daughter). Nicholson remarks on how many new people celebrities meet yearly compared to the number met in an entire lifetime for a 'regular' person. I'd imagine it would get old, everyone recognizes you and don't recognize anyone. I feel a bit sad for celebrities that there is always such superficiality in their lives. Comes with the territory which is show business.

I'd love to hear more stories from [R21].

[R21] you should write a book!

R133 He's said it would be hypocritical of him not to be against abortion since he was an illegitimate child himself.

R108, I suugest you take it up with the woman at r99

Weird thread titles, like he's on his deathbed. Ugh.

What happened to the beat up hooker he dated?

R125 He was a flamboyant Hollywood producer in the 1970s, just a wild guess but he probably did lots of coke and banged lots of chicks.

He's not pro-life, you fucking fools.

I've just Googled Robert Evans, seen what he looks like today and I don't think I'm going to be able to sleep now (yikes!)

Robert Evans (real name Shapera) looks like a lizard, and has the morals of an alley cat. Was married to Ali McGraw, which explains how the scored an Oscar nomination for one of the worst performances in film history in Love Story.

I've a feeling I know who this writer posting is...

I just love Jack & Tom Cruise together.

Thanks, R135, I definitely have some good stories from the 80s and 90s, though my night at Chateau Evans came later. Funny, it doesn't feel like anything special when it is happening (or we are programmed to play it down as no big deal) and then you look back and remember that you once had sex in CAA boss Ron Meyer's bed and then copied celebrity phone numbers out of his day book so I could listen to Dyan Cannon's answering machine later. Fun times, just enough debauchery, just enough naive moments too.

R145 What I do want is for you to stand there in that faggoty white uniform and with your Harvard mouth extend me some FUCKING COURTESY.

Does he still go to the Laker games or is he a recluse now?

He's a great actor, a charmer, one of a kind.

But he got nasty in middle age, coke fueled hooker beating nasty. Nearly beat one to death. He degrades women in private, has serious issues. Laura Flynn Boyle was turned out by him, the only one of his girlfriends that he set out to degrade just for amusement. She took part but he was debauched and she was nearly destroyed. Don't feel sorry for him.

When a lothario becomes impotent, things get weird if he doesn't face himself and mature. Nicholson got very weird, increasingly violent and perverse, and lots of ladies had to be paid to keep quiet. He deserves to die alone.

Nicholson's pussy hound, bit of a lad shtick has served him and his ego admirably for almost half a century. In Hollywood, the bottom line is whatever works to re-enforce your public image, no matter how silly and pathetic the behaviour is.

What the hell? I thought everyone on DL swore up and down that Nicholson has Alzheimer's. But...he's sane? Just a hideous old asshole who beats hookers and champions the rights of cell clusters? Fantastic.

Just another broken down old lech looking for 'nurse with a purse'. Well, maybe not a purse, but ...

There was a book called "Model" in the nineties, an informal history and expose of the modelling industry. There was a lot of dirt about the men who prey on models, especially young ones. One model was quoted as saying she was invited to parties in France where the age of consent is fourteen; where Roman Polanski, Jack Nicholson, and WArren Beatty (!) surrounded themselves with fourteen-year-old models and got their perv on.

This was in a best-selling book that had been vetted by the publisher's lawyers.

He has passed the torch to John Travolta as the official Oscar lecher.

R154 But his leching was genuine, Travolta's is fake.

bump

Imagine if a woman decided to spend her younger years slutting it up like there was no tomorrow, doing drugs, tossing men aside when she got bored, and then once she became an old hag talked about being "lonely" and how she couldn't attract men anymore. Would anyone feel sorry for her? I wouldn't.

Nicholson is the male equivalent.

[quote] Never did anything remotely against gays either.

Wow, what an achievement. He never proactively did anything bad against us--give that man a medal.

R108 is RIGHT ON

Did Brando ever give it to him right up the arse?

If he treats his nurses well, they could be his real friends.

bump

Why can't his kids take care of him if they're gonna inherit the money?

I don't know what he's complaining about. He wrote the only movie the Monkees starred in. That's plenty enough legacy for one man.

What is it with these old geezers facing their twilight years and expecting some female to just "take care" of them?

That's what Prince Charles said as to why he wanted a granddaughter...so she could take care of him in his old age?!?!?!

Self involved much?

I waited on him one time at a small dinner party in Malibu in my catering days. He was an hour late, held up the entire dinner for everybody else, talked about almost nothing but himself. This was probably about 1987. He said that aids came from Africans who were fucking monkeys in the jungle. He made the international "what a fag" sign towards me, behind my back, with his wrist flopping. It was humiliating. Nobody'd ever called me a sissy except my older brother and a couple of assholes in high school. I hate him, but I recognize that he's given some great performances. Among those is the clip at R4. Watch him mop the brow, straighten himself up, and approach the hot young thing in town. It was a bit and she played along beautifully.

[quote] That's what Prince Charles said as to why he wanted a granddaughter...so she could take care of him in his old age?!?!?!

Not bloody fucking likely.

If Clint Eastwood and The Rolling Stones can get a young gf, why can't he?

He's gay, right?

Charles is so high-maintenance that his staff have to squeeze the toothpaste onto the brush.

If Robert Evans' looks give you nightmares, you should look into his behavior.

He was described as "The Devil himself". No surprise that he produced Rosemary's Baby, made Polanski a celebrity, and possibly hired the Zodiac Killer to kill his producing partner of The Cotton Club movie.

Interestingly, that Cottom Club murder victim appears to have been the head of the NYC satanic group of which Son of Sam Berkowitz was just one member.

Google "The Ultimate Evil", "Programmed to Kill", and "The Family".

And research William Mentzer, the (probable) Zodiac Killer and Hollywood bodyguard who was hired to kill Robert Evans' producing partner and satanist Roy Radin.

Robert Evans was also the basis of Dustin Hoffman's CIA-agent Hollywood producer in the movie Wag The Dog.

Amazing that Evans got off on all charges, when he had the most to gain from the contract hit:

'Cotton Club' Jury Convicts 4 of Murder July 23, 1991

"Eight years after the bullet-riddled body of New York impresario Roy Radin was found in a dry creek bed near Gorman, a jury Monday found onetime drug dealer and would-be Hollywood deal-maker Karen Greenberger and three bodyguards guilty of murder and kidnaping in what became known as the "Cotton Club" murder.

Greenberger, 43, and Robert Lowe, 44, were convicted of second-degree murder and kidnaping, requiring an automatic life sentence without possibility of parole.

William Mentzer, 42, and Alex Marti, 30, were convicted of first-degree murder. The jury also found that Mentzer and Marti killed Radin for "financial gain" during a kidnaping--special circumstances that open the possibility of death in the gas chamber for both men. The jury, which had been deliberating since July 10, reached their decisions Friday. The verdicts were sealed until Monday.

Greenberger had been accused of hiring Mentzer, Marti and Lowe to kill Radin because she feared she was being cut out of a producer's role--and profits--in the movie "The Cotton Club," a film about a Harlem speak-easy that was a critical and financial flop. The "Cotton Club" project began after Greenberger introduced Radin to Hollywood filmmaker Robert Evans, who was then her boyfriend."

Connect the dots. Hollywood, satanism, drugs, and cia and Kissinger

Book Reviews Robert Evans's story: coverup for satanism

by Michelle Steinberg The Kid Stays in the Picture by Robert Evans Hyperion, New York, 1994

"Pathetic and illiterate, the autobiography of Robert Evans, the legendary corporate executive who saved Paramount Pictures from bankruptcy, liquidation, and oblivion, is a book written in an obscure gangland-style code, in which an embittered man is venting his spleen without being able to do what he really wants-bring down the mighty mobsters who threw him to the wolves. The "thrilling " beginning is the triumphant party celebrating the New York premier of the Paramount film "The Godfather." The time is 1972, and Evans, the producer, is hosting his alleged two best friends, Henry A. Kissinger, then secretary of state, and the notorious mobster attorney Sidney Korshak, whom he describes repeatedly as his "mentor." his "godfather," his "consigliere for over 20 years," at a gala party at New York's St. Regis Hotel. When Evans. in a fit of egomania. tries to "put it all together " and have Kissinger and Korshak join him. basking in all his glory. at the same table, Korshak grabs his arm in a powerful. threatening grip and growls. "Don't ever bring me and Kissinger together in public. Ever! Now go back to your table ... schmuck.""

An anecdote with promise

"An anecdote with promise. What does godfather Korshak have to hide? Do Korshak and Kissinger get together privately on a regular basis? But Evans never delivers. For someone who was busted on cocaine, who hocked his multimillion-dollar mansion to pay off mob backers in a film deal gone bad. who was nearly indicted in the cocainesatanic murder of New York impressario Roy Radin. and whose comeback to Paramount resulted in the allegation that he threatened to kill leading lady Sharon Stone (as he had killed three other people), not delivering on the details about Korshak, Kissinger, and Gulf and Western Chief Executi ve Officer Charlie Bluhdorn (whose backing to buy Paramount parent company Gulf and Western came from a known associate of the late head of "Murder, Inc.," Meyer Lansky) is probably a good idea for "staying in the picture.""

"There are some humorous elements. For example, who is the more loyal friend to Bobby Evans? Well, Kissinger did get him off one potential cocaine charge-by writing a personal secretary-of-state letter to Dom Mintoff, President (so-called) of the island country of Malta where Paramount was filming "Popeye the Sailorman" (of all things). But when the real cocaine bust of Evans came shortly afterward in New York, godfather, mentor, and guardian angel Korshak was nowhere to be found. Behind the scenes, Evans and his brother Charles (his former partner in the fashion house Evan Piccone) tried to convince New York Sen. Jacob Javits (R) to fix the cocaine case in order to protect Kissinger from embarrassment because of the Malta letter. Near the end, in 1989, when Evans is out of money, out of Paramount, and out of friends, there are no guardian angels to bail him out of the potential murder-conspiracy charge in the killing of New York impressario Radin, found victim of a satanic-style ritual murder in the desert outside of Los Angeles, just after Evans enlisted his support to bail out the funding for the movie "The Cotton Club." "

Man, this is gold:

"Take that back. There was one last ally: Bob Shapiro, the same lawyer now in the news every day as one of the defense attorneys for O.J. Simpson. Shapiro, who was assigned to Evans by he-never-says-who, knew a judge in Los Angeles who helped get Evans off the hotseat in the trial of Radin's killers. Shapiro reviewed and approved this book before it was published. It's a coverup for the satanic murder of Radin, just as some believe the O.J. Simpson trial circus is a coverup for Hollywood satanism today."

Manson Murders:

"Evans is no stranger to the subject of satanism. One of his earliest successes was producing "Rosemary's Baby," the film that starred Mia Farrow as the young mother impregnated by Satan. Anton LaVey, the founder of the Church of Satan, was brought in as a consultant to make sure that every occult and satanic detail was accurate. (By the way, LaVey had made an earlier career as an all-purpose towel boy for mobster Bugsy Siegel in Las Vegas before becoming America's most famous Satan-worshipper.) With "Rosemary's Baby" came Evans's lifelong friendship with director Roman Polanski, the husband of movie star Sharon Tate, who was killed by the Manson family in a ritual murder in 1969. It was only by pure luck that Evans, by his own account, had a prior engagement the night that Tate and her friends were murdered. He would have been at the Tate dinner party at Cielo Drive when the Manson zombies invaded that night. "

...and Patton Oswalt did some nasty standup re Evans, and low and behold years latter Oswalt's wife dies under mysterious circumstances. I think he holds a grudge.

Kissinger lived with Evans every time he was in L.A.

Patton

actor Robert Evans - kooky killer trailer

No one's taking up R21 on that movie he wrote?

Jack was loyal to his friends, lol

You are a classy guy R166. I enjoyed your post, thanks.

Frank Sinatra was in the hospital room right next to Evans when Sinatra had a fatal heart attack. Sinatra was Mia Farrow's husband when Evans' was producing Rosemary's Baby.

Sinatra and Evans clashed over the slow schedule, and Sinatra had cast Farrow in a movie that was due to start filming.

England's popular Dirk Bogarde was the same - ended up after his heart-throb years with a nurse looking after him.

He sat on Italian director Antonion's The Passenger (made in 1973, released in 1975) for years, making it unobtainable for Antonioni retrospectives (including at the London BFI in the 2000s) until a dvd deal some years later. Its one of his best films actually, up there with Chinatown and Cuckoo's Nest (which I never really liked).

Its hilarious now seeing him in that scene with Streisand in' On A Clear Day' filmed in 1969 when his hippie persona looks more dated than hers.

I've never considered him a great or interesting actor - he is the same in everything. Ditto his pal Beatty.

Not bad in the sack, but he always made the broad sleep in the wet spot. Serves him right!

R187 I'm not sure what you mean - Dirk Bogarde had the same male partner, who by all accounts he loved very much, for many years up until his partner's death so he wasn't a whore-about-town like Nicholson. He had a stroke a few years before his death and was in a wheelchair but up until that point was working.

This is him in Cannes in 1990.

I can't imagine any woman, in this day and age, would suck or fuck, nearly 80 years old cock to get her bills paid. It's called a basic college education and a career of some kind. For fucks sake, a bachelor's degree in education in most parts of the country, will get you a condo and a Camry, at minimum, as a single person. What type of person would choose this route over a minimum education and some choices that leaves you with your dignity and respect?

R191, no way in hell he's not bad in the sack. One of the things my early attraction to narcissists taught me is that once they think they've got you where they want you, they are terrible lovers. If you think about it, it makes sense that someone who is all me, me, me has nothing to give as a lover.

R193 Yes, a poxy college degree, a dull, average-paying, life-sucking dayjob, condo and Toyota Camry sounds preferable to say, living in the Playboy mansion.

[quote]For fucks sake, a bachelor's degree in education in most parts of the country, will get you a condo and a Camry, at minimum, as a single person.

How tragic.

He should hook up with Miss Dunaway. They could watch their old films together. (even that one with Brando that was the toast of Cannes and Europe}

[quote] What type of person would choose this route over a minimum education and some choices that leaves you with your dignity and respect?

No one I know.

[quote] a bachelor's degree in education in most parts of the country, will get you a condo and a Camry, at minimum

So who buys Corollas and the other cheaper Toyota models if every college graduate can have a Camry?

[quote]I can't imagine any woman, in this day and age, would suck or fuck, nearly 80 years old cock to get her bills paid.

Are you for real? There are TONS of gold-digging whores out there who'll do that in exchange for a lavish lifestyle.

[quote]What type of person would choose this route over a minimum education and some choices that leaves you with your dignity and respect?

pretty much everyone

80 year old cock, OMG... it's not as if 21 year old cock is pretty and sweet-tasting.

Oh please, he's had an amazing life. Anyone who thinks he'd give it all up for some frau is insane. Long live Jack the Rascal.

R203 His pal Warren Beatty did, LOL!

As "fraus" go, marrying a beautiful talented actress is a great way to "compromise". Beatty rules. And Robert Evans remains my hero, one of the coolest men I ever got to meet in my lifetime.

The whole dying alone thing is odd. He'll have nurses and hospice people. Those are usually much nicer people than family.

And kids who adore him. He's nowhere near dying alone, despite the fact that really we all do (I like Clooney's read on that in "Up in the Air". "Trust me, we die alone.")

Sometimes I think people must want to die alone. I've had family where people stood vigil all day for weeks waiting for the death and then the person died alone in the middle of the night when no one was awake. It happened three times.

(P.S. This whole thing feels a bit like the film "Somewhere" that I finally watched, Sofia still making movies about her cocoon of a life. Where we see movie star Stephen Dorff spending half the movie with his sweet, well raised daughter -- and then he breaks down and weeps on the phone to some ex, "I have nothing!" Who was that little girl we just spent an hour with? Nothing? I would like to think NIcholson is too wise and mature to play that sad man card. He was always too much fun to do that).

R205 Are you R21?

R208 That can hardly be called dying alone compared to how some poor souls end up.

Yep, R210, that's me, was a long time ago so forgot I had posted (you know how some of these topics come up more than once around here). And I remain...

hey hrt why'd you stop replying to your own threads?

Oh, I've just been floating around, been a bit crazy, sick Mom, shooting some shows back to back, just kind of took a break from DL but still check in at least once a day. And at some point I didn't get a connection to any new thread so figured maybe 13 had been enough (fun as they were, for sure. That Evans comment I wrote at R21 was long before HRT was even born here.) I'll do a search and see where I can find the latest. Or feel free to link.

I did talk to Turner Classic Movies and mentioned the Herbert Ross Troll stuff -- since they show so many of his films. But we haven't moved forward on anything. i'm trying to picture me discussing him with my actual face on camera after all our shared stories. :)

Hope you're well.

Jack Nicholson had the AIDS you know

Jack will not die alone. He's always been close to his eldest daughter from his first marriage.

Jack's son Ray Nicholson looks like Matt Damon and Leo Dicaprio had a baby together.

The notion of Jack dying alone is total creation, bullshit some stupid housewives came up in hopes of retribution for his fucking a lot of women in his lifetime. It is a truly hilarious notion -- and I didn't even know about the cute son, above. He's lived and continues to live a great life.

R217 No, he looks like Jack and some cheap floozy had a baby together.

Jack is not only close to Jennifer his oldest but to his other daughters as well. Not sure if they live in LA though.

I'd like to know if he still has a relationship with Caleb, his son with Susan Anspaugh that he didn't acknowledge for many years. He did acknowledge his finally and said they kept in touch but I wonder how much.

[quote] Connect the dots. Hollywood, satanism, drugs, and cia and Kissinger

Oh honey, you have obviously never met Robert Evans.

Did Jack ever relent and acknowledge his son with Susan Anspach?

Poor Jack. And Richard Simmons. Don't wait too long to partner up.

yes r222 years ago. He talked about it in a VF interview, after he sued to get Susan out of a house of his she'd live in while she raised Caleb. She wouldn't go quietly and he was forced to publicly acknowledge him and discuss the situation.

Yeah, I remember the thing with Anspach and the house and all that jazz. I hadn't heard he'd acknowledged the kid publicly or maybe I'm confusing him with someone else. Thanks.

What's the word on Jack?

I wonder what he thinks when he's watching TV and he sees Anjelica Huston hiding behind the curtain in that ridiculous commercial with Mark Wahlberg.

Connect the dots. Peanut butter commercials, colored gels, Goering, plastic garbage bags, sterno, Chateau Marmont, the tan mole on Warren Beatty's left testicle, Beelzebub, hot dogs.

[quote] Gross, self-pitying dirty old man who only thinks of himself

So he's basically the same as he's always been but now he's old and alone

All these sociopathic narcissists who have hooked up with women because of who their fathers are/were, grease fires await: Jack (Angelica), Brad (Juliet, Goop, Angie). Ben (Goop), Billy Bob (Laura, Angie), Scott (Sophie) . . .

Men, too, are "Gold Diggers" -

R153 if you are anywhere near still reading this thread please provide a link to the book Models. Google searches fail to bring up that book from the 90s. Thank you.

R208 R211 (I think it was you two, (apologies if not.) The closer you move toward death as an elderly person the more your inner needs change. Many of us might die of old age in an assisted care facility nursing unit with immediate family and friends who had advance notice at our side. Some die in a nursing facility, assuming it still tolerates our out of control final stage Alzheimers acting out, with only staff there. Some die in ER or ICU. Some are able to die peacefully at home surrounded by family and close friends.

A vast majority of elderly die in the late hours of night, when no loved ones or friends are near. The overwhelming evidence suggests that people are terrified of dying in pain but are less afraid of dying alone, which is truly what we all do anyway. It's really the opposite nasty, messy, process of being born. (Please trust me on this.)

The deep urge to have people present who are very caring, familiar and reliably consistent in your daily life when you start to edge toward death, years before, is beyond simply reassuring but perhaps the saying goodby encounters then matter more than having you there at the end.

I make no presumptions about JN but I wonder if he's simply bumping up against this future process. He's smart, astute, pragmatic, so it makes sense if he wants a comely escort to walk him to that bridge. Realistic or not, it's pretty human.

[quote] ...I always wondered if he was like that because it was Angelica Huston's dad (Angelica Huston was on set that day - had her own reaction shots filmed). However, I was extremely struck by how quiet he was, how cooperative, and how attentive he was to everything said by Huston, even...

John Huston would have stomped on Nicholson's neck and thrown him out with the trash if JN was anything but cooperative.

Nobody messed with Huston. Even an older Huston.

Jack Nicholson, possibly the greatest American actor who ever lived. And silly people still want to step on his legacy. Won't work.

I read the book by Allegra Huston, Angelica's half-sister (who was not John's daughter), and she discussed the fact that Ryan O'Neal treated Angelica horribly during their relationship, but John didn't 'stomp on his neck'. In fact, John thought that Angelica's relationship with O'Neal was 'classy', or something.

He was abusive towards Lara flynn Boyle and many other women. I expect a lot of dirt to come out once he's dead. Why are all of you giving him such a pass?

I used to love him but now find him old and sad. He is kind of a jerk and it's a miracle that he is still alive, given all the drugs and booze that have gone into his system. Maybe he will deliver one more great performance but I am kind of doubtful.

During her relationship with Jack, Lara appeared to be at the height of her eating disorder. Here she is on the 2003 Golden Globes' red carpet, where she wore her now infamous pink tutu.

On her way down the red carpet, she'd stopped at "E!," where she was grilled by Joan about her showing up solo, without Jack. Joan: " . . . and where is Jack this evening; why isn't he here with you?" Lara, stumbling for an answer, " . . . Um, where is Jack . . . he's everywhere!" Joan laugher in her face and quickly moved on to the next "Stah" to interview.

does he still go to laker basketball games? he has so many kids, just have them live with him...or write them out of will.

"Most women, after they get divorced or widowed, don't want to get married again. "

What? I always thought that was because the old broads couldn't 'snag a man.'

r97 HAS STATED HER BOUNDARIES!!!

We've been through this before. Women loved him, knew he was a rascal and accepted it. Stupid to try to make him some kind of bad guy now. Silly, in fact.

He is doing the English version of the German film up for Best Foreign Film last year (though it didn't win), am spacing on the name. If that turns out well, he can be back for another Oscar ceremony.

"Toni Erdmann". Just remembered...

(It's how Pacino finally own his Oscar too, though thought it was interesting that the original "Scene of a Woman" was up for an Oscar for Best Screenplay years before. Odd for an Italian film to get that nod).

"Angelica's half-sister (who was not John's daughter"

Oh Dear: as neither of allegra's parents is also a parent of angelica, they are not "half sisters". allegra's mother was married to angelica's father and after the mother was killed, john huston raised her.

Jack is full of shit. I continue to have no interest in his life nor that worn out saggy shit-in-his-diaper Beatty. Beatty had said when his looks were gone and all that, he'd get married. They're both despicable for their lack of respect to women, and I don't care when they die or how.

Always felt bad for Angelica. I think it ended when Jack's hook up Rebecca Broussard got pregnant. Angelica told him he had to marry Rebecca. Not sure if he did but that was the end of Jack and Angelica.

Unfortunately, Toni Terdmann costars Kristen Wiig. That means it will be bad.

Is “Toni Erdmann” actually happening? I know they announced it, but there hasn’t been news of casting other than Wiig or of hiring anyone to direct.

I’m fairly confident that it’ll be ‘in development’ up until Jack dies, whether it’s in ten days or ten years.

R195: Dude, the Playboy Mansion smells like urine - there are old people in residence and the 'girls' are allowed their little dogs for companionship. Place freaking reeks. So yeah, Camry it would be, no problem.

He used to pee on women; now he pees all over himself. Enjoy the scent Jack !

Jack Nicholson is the anti-celebrity - he only lets his work speak for him. He never gives interviews, doesn't appear on magazine covers, won't show up on the late night talk shows to promote his films, doesn't promote his goodness and humanitarianism via social media.

Does he even have a publicist? if nothing else, this is worthy of respect in a culture saturated with attention-whoring narcissism.

R245 - Allegra Huston's mother was Enrica Soma, Anjelica's (and Tony's) mother, and she was born while Soma was married to John Hoston, but her father was John Julius Norwich. J Huston gallantly acknowledged her as his daughter. So Anjelica and Allegra are half sisters through the mother.

Where do all these rumors of Nicholson pissing and shitting on women come from??? This is the first time I'm hearing of it.

[quote] ...she discussed the fact that Ryan O'Neal treated Angelica horribly during their relationship, but John didn't 'stomp on his neck'. In fact, John thought that Angelica's relationship with O'Neal was 'classy', or something.

John Huston, DIRECTOR, didn't take crap from actors while they were working on one of his films. That has nothing to do with their relationships with his children.

It's been reported many times that he hires (and then beats) prostitutes. I had a friend who forced me to see 'The Witches of Eastwick', repeating over and over again, "You gotta love Jack",. No, I never have, and never will. He's absolutely loathsome, and while I'm normally quite respectful when a death is reported, I will not be commenting when he finally dies, because I think he's a miserable POS>

There was a photo of him taken back in the eighties or nineties wearing full blackface... enough of him. I can't stand him or his acting.

Oh, so now he's a racist too?!? I seriously doubt that. Prince Harry dressed as a Nazi, Ted Danson did a version of black face, and nobody thinks that they're really racists, only that they are people who made some very foolish mistakes.

I think Nicholson is probably very flawed as a human being, but I don't think that he's an evil SOB deserving of no sympathy...

Does anybody know for certain if he is, indeed, afflicted by the "Irishmen's Curse"? Stories about his being so are legendary. (Hence the reported 'hostility' toward women, coupled with the stories of his childhood.)

I really don't think he was that great of an actor. His early performances in films like FIVE EASY PIECES and CARNAL KNOWLEDGE were good, followed by his two greatest performances, CHINATOWN in 1974 and CUCKOO'S NEST in 1975.

After that he never really matured an actor; moved into Coke City and started phoning it in once the really big money hit, like BATMAN. His performances all played on his offscreen persona, with the evil grin and all that crap.

I started the Gene Hackman thread we had here awhile back, and I think Hackman is ten times the actor Nicholson was.

Hrs not that Irish. He's a mutt.

R258, maybe he's not a racist, but he's done and said allegedly racist things. There was a blind item about him a few years ago-when asked if he wanted them then hot Pam Grier as his leading lady in a film project he wanted to do, he supposedly said that his movie set was NOT The Cosby Show, there was no way he was gonna do love scenes with a woman of color.

Get a load of me

Old age is a bitch.

Nearing 3 years on this thread -- really wasn't the LAST days of Jack Nicholson.

He is always smirking in all his roles. Evil grin. A cynical smirk. This seems to have transferred to the mainstream because that is what all of pop culture, internet is, as well as leaking into general social interactions everywhere now.

Sad. 😥

I wonder what happened to him.

He's hanging about his mansion, pilled out of his skull and having conversations with Robin Williams.

How much days left? How many money? Asking for friend trapped in Florida.

The "last days" are numbered in quadruple digits by now ...
