Best Known For:
Being one of the greatest actors of all time.
Early-life:
Born John Joseph Nicholson on April 22, 1937, in New York. He never knew his biological father and was raised believing his grandparents were his parents and his mother was his older sister; he didn't discover the truth until a journalist told him in 1974. As a teenager he was recognised as the class clown, and eventually moved to Hollywood, where he made ends meet as a gofer for animation giants William Hanna and Joseph Barbera. They offered him a job as an animator, but he turned it down to concentrate on acting.
Career:
Nicholson made his film debut in low-budget drama The Cry Baby Killer in 1958, which began his long association with Roger Corman; Nicholson wrote, directed and appeared in several movies for the legendary film-maker. His breakthrough came in 1969 when he was cast in Easy Rider - it earned him the first of many Oscar nominations. Nicholson went on to receive Oscar nods for Five Easy Pieces, The Last Detail and Chinatown, before winning for One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest. He would also go on to pick up statuettes for Terms of Endearment in 1984 and As Good as It Gets in 1998. Other notable movies include The Shining, Prizzi's Honor, Batman and About Schmidt.
Quote:
'Star quality is if you're on stage and a cat walks on and they still watch you.'
Trivia:
Away from showbiz, he's a keen art collector - his collection is said to be worth more than $100million.
