Jack Nicholson is one of the most unique actors of Hollywood. His filmography is vast and diverse as much as his private affairs. Jack has never been a attention investigator but he was often in the center of the tabloids. It would not be fair to define only surprising facts about his life, so here is the short amazing, hypnotic and extraordinary biography of Mr. Jack Nicholson.
Childhood
On April 22, 1937, John Joseph Nicholson was born 50 km from his childhood house in Neptune, New Jersey. Jack grew up in Manasquan, NJ, raised by his mother June Nicholson, a dancer and his maternal grandparents. June was 17 when she gave birth to Jack, leaving the name of the father in her empty birth certificate. The swirled speculations around the identity of his father later in life, when Jack was almost 40 years old by a New York Times reporter who revealed fascinating information about the Nicholson family.
As he turned out, Jack grew up in believing that June is his elder sister and his grandparents are his parents. June François, the showgirl, was her mother who had to leave her hometown to have a baby. His mother never disclosed no information about his father. At first, it was believed that his father was Donald Furcillo, a man already married at the time Jack was born. Later, some theories on the June manager, Eddie King, being a father came. In any case, Jack never held a rancor against his mother and grandparents to keep him unconscious of his true roots.
Jack the rebel
The high school was a particularly interesting moment in Jack’s life. It was voted “the most optimistic” and “the most pessimistic” of all the students of the same year. Let’s call him a complex person of his first teenagers. Always a student student was the most difficult disorder for his teachers. It has been called to the main office of everyday life, mainly for smoking, inappropriate jokes and jurisdiction among teachers and other students.
Acting career
In 1954, Jack Nicholson saw Los Angeles’ light for the first time. He made a series of detached jobs, like all other coming actors, fighting to nail all roles. At the time, Hanna and Barbera were the big shots of Hollywood. Nicholson has managed to get a low level job as an office assistant. MGM comics studios were and are still famous worldwide to create childhood memories for generations, such as jets and scooby-doo. William Hanna and Joseph Barbera saw Jack’s potential but hesitated to offer him a real work of the actor. Instead, Nicholson has been proposed to work as one of the animators of their studio. Not seeing how it goes more his career Jack refused the offer and pursued with the search for a real job.
The 1960s were difficult moments with Nicholson’s career in recession. The roles did not come from his way, so instead of sitting continuously, Jack decided to start writing his own scripts. He joined his former boyfriend, Corman and wrote the film “The Trip” Staring Dennis Hopper and Peter Fonda. A pretty incredible barracks for a beginner writer. However, the film ended up being a major flop causing indignation among the actors, which was already an established movie star. Nicholson blamed the production of modifying the script completely modifying the film, which makes it a diagram and the nerdy.
“Head” of 1968 was another fiasco of Jack Nicholson, featuring the monkeys. Initially, the film was published as a two-hour feature on theaters. It has been completely ignored by the public, after which production has decided to cut more than 30 minutes and release it on the east coast. Once again, with the same results – empty theaters and bad reviews of critics.
