Jack Nicholson

Jack Nicholson made his acting debut in Roger Corman’s “The Cry Baby Killer” in 1958. Nicholson continued to work with Roger Corman in minor horror-movie masterpieces throughout the 1960s, including “The Little Shop of Horrors,” “The Raven” and “The Terror.” Nicholson got his big break when he replaced Rip Torn in the 1969 cult-classic “Easy Rider,” for which he received an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor. It was in 1970 that Nicholson became a star and produced some of the best acting of his career in Bob Rafaelson’s “Five Easy Pieces,” again resulting in an Oscar nomination for Best Actor. Nominations continued to come Nicholson’s way, for his role in 1973’s “The Last Detail” and for his performance in the 1974 masterpiece, “Chinatown.” The following year, Nicholson won his first Academy Award for Best Actor as rebellious asylum patient Randall Patrick McMurphy in “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,” which was also the first film to win all the major Academy Awards since 1934. Nicholson started the 1980s on a high note, with a terrifying performance in Stanley Kubrick’s “The Shining,” and he then received an Oscar nomination for his supporting role in Warren Beatty’s “Reds.” In 1983, Nicholson won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in “Terms of Endearment.” More...
