Jack Nicholson
John Joseph Jack Nicholson is an American actor and filmmaker, having performed for nearly 60 years. He is known for playing a wide range of starring or supporting roles, including satirical comedy, romance and dark portrayals of excitable and psychopathic characters. In many of his films he played the eternal outsider, the sardonic drifter, and someone who rebels against the social structure.
Nicholson was born on April 22, 1937, in New York, the son of a showgirl, June Frances Nicholson . Nicholsons mother was of Irish, English, and Pennsylvania Dutch descent. She married Italian American showman Donald Furcillo in 1936, not knowing that he was already married.8 Biographer Patrick McGilligan stated in his book Jacks Life that Latvianborn Eddie King , Junes manager, may have been Nicholsons biological father, rather than Furcillo. Other sources suggest June Nicholson was unsure of who the father was. As June was onlyyears old, unmarried and uncertain of the fathers identity when Nicholson was born, her parents agreed to raise Nicholson as their own child without revealing his true parentage, and June would act as his sister.
