A young, pregnant showgirl by the name of June Frances Nicholson, gave birth to a little boy. She named him John Joseph. Immediately upon being delivered, he looked up at the doctor, and said, "Wait until they get a load of me". He then asked one of the nurses for a cigar, two fingers of scotch, and to refer to him as "Jack".
The rest was history.
Jack Nicholson is an actor that puts a little bit of himself in every role. You never know at what point Jack stops and the character starts. He has been superb in everything he has done. As the most nominated actor in Oscar history, with 12 Academy Award nominations and three wins, he has set the mold for the American actor for decades to come.
Perhaps my favorite Nicholson movie of all times is 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest'. In it, Jack plays Randle McMurphy, a trouble maker and criminal that hopes to serve out the rest of his sentence for statutory rape in a mental institute, instead of doing hard labor while in prison. It's possibly the greatest performance of Nicholson's career, a role that earned him an Oscar in 1975. I have seen the movie 20 times or more, and the final seen makes me cry every time I see it. It's the epitome of friendship, love, mercy and compassion. Happy Birthday, Jack.
