I saw Jack Nicholson once, when I was an extra decades ago on the set of "Prizzi's Honor". We were filming in a church (St. Ann's?) in Brooklyn Heights. He was about 20 feet away. I was stealing looks at him, trying not to stare. During a break in filming, he paused, looked at me and met my gaze pleasantly with a brief smile of acknowledgement. He was present, connected, and kind. It was only a second but I appreciated it.
Reminds me of the time that I was on a trip to New York. One day we were in a health food restaurant, I wanted to leave after looking at the menu - here we are in New York City with some of the greatest restaurants and best food in the world and we found ourselves in a health food restaurant. 🤔 I couldn’t find anything on the menu that appealed to me and so everyone decided to go to another restaurant. Just as we are getting up to leave John Lennon and Yoko walk in and sit about 2 tables away. I fell back down in my seat and exclaimed “Oh never mind - I’ll have the bean sprout sandwich” ! 😂 I didn’t want to call attention to them and basically just sat there for over an hour stealing glances and in disbelief. You have to understand that I was BEATLE MANIAC as a pre-adolescent and never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine (no pun intended) that I would be sitting 2 tables away from JOHN LENNON ! If I could have seen into the future as a pre-teen - and known that I would be sitting 2 tables away from a Beatle years later - I would have quit going to school and sat in my room waiting for that trip to New York. 😂😂😂😂
@ellenorchid66: That must have been a very nice experience and is a great memory for you. Very nice and gracious of him him to acknowledge you,
@@lilybond6485 Besides this delightful story, you can always say that for a little while you were breathing the same air as John Lennon and Yoko Ono. 😀
@jpsned: It was almost like I mentally flashed back to being a 10 year old Beatles lunatic - remembering watching them on Ed Sullivan for the first time - buying every LP and single record they put out - every Beatles magazine I could get my Beatles greedy hands on. I saw them in concert in 1964 but not the same as sitting 2 tables away from John Lennon in a restaurant on a random trip to New York City. I mean - what are the chances ? NIL ! Yet there he was - and I do have to say - that I acted very cool 😎 no external reaction - no going over asking for an autograph. I’m still kind of amazed that I simply respected his privacy and space. Stealing glances and not staring. Being there - 2 TABLES AWAY - was enough.
@@lilybond6485 And you have that memory and story for the rest of your life. Much better than if you had gone up to them and asked for an autograph--even if they'd been gracious and gave you one, you still would have been invading their space. I think you know that your story of NOT doing so is much better than any old autograph.
It reminds me of an astronaut I once knew. He was one of twelve guys who walked on the moon. I had lunch with him a couple of times. During one of our conversations, he told me something about another famous astronaut in confidence. He asked me not to tell anyone. Now, of course I could tell all my space enthusiast friends what he told me, as it would possibly make me more interesting. But I've chosen not to tell anyone, especially since my friend is no longer around. Keeping what he told me secret--as he requested--is worth more than anything.
Jack Nicholson is one of my favorite actors of all time. There are actors and then there are artists. He makes acting seem like an art, and he does it like no other. A living legend and will surely be regarded as one of the true greats who graced the big screen.
The Last Detail
He’s definitely one of those people with some kind of ineffable spark or “it” factor about him. He’s got some kind of intense but slow-burning magnetism, so that he’s just fascinating to watch and listen to, no matter what he’s doing. Very interesting dude (and excellent actor, but that goes without saying).
It’s called selling your soul
@@aWomanFreed 1:30
@@aWomanFreed lol I bet you sold your soul for money to even say something like that. Plot twist: every soul is sold, there isn’t a human being alive right now that isn’t a slave in some form.
@@MonsieurDrobot That’s a rationalization which exposes more about the state of your soul than mine. Cheers.
@@aWomanFreed ignorance sure must feed your ego.
That last remote clip of Jack and the cast of Cuckoo's Nest is marvelous.
Excellent. Danny De Vito hanging with Jack and Louise Fletcher coming to take Jack away.
"I bet a dime." 😂
It's so good!
That clip is like a gold nugget in the old long movie history river.
Cuckoos Nest was the best
Yes it was 😮❤
Hard to think of a bad movie he ever played in. Even if the movie wasn’t well received, his performances always shine 😉
Good point
Only those that shine can hear it
תודה לך ולשחקני הוליווד שמיכם לקחתי גם השראה
את כל התפקידים איך שהוא עשיתי
בחי
כחה ניצלו חיינו
@Cameron Skye But it's easy to think of the huge number of films no better than adequate that he made. Be honest about this, as it should encourage young actors, young filmmakers to work through failure and mediocrity--not give into those things.
yep, a real favorite of mine. most memorable scene was throwing cocaine at the hookers in The Departed. the malevolence in his eyes
His AFI speech really moves me - as it did with Goldie and Candice... when the tears are coming, you see and feel what's really important to you.
I LOVE cinema... for many reasons! One certainly is Mr Jack Nicholson! Thank you so much.
An amazing talent AND personality. Jack Nicholson is just one of a kind , and the world is truly a better place because this man is part of it, sharing his talent and skills all along the way.
YOU, are the caretaker. You've always been the caretaker.
I've always loved every facet of that movie it's Nicholson cinema gold! Like all of his films he is just a great actor and very genuine and he seems like he'd be a great guy to have at your next BBQ! I love listening to his behind the scenes "BEHAVIORS" so to speak on one flew over the cuckoo's nest was the stuff of genius!
“I should know. I’ve ALWAYS been here”
I thought Nurse Ratchet was the caretaker?
Excellent....
One of my favorites
He said he's godless, but still wants to please them. But a lover of himself. What do you think?
He has a unique voice. Can't think of any young actors today who have that
Always delivered, even in bad movies he was still excellent.
Yeah.... Jack is always awsome for sure.
If there is any problem it is the movies themselves
Jack Nicholson engaged my niece into a conversation while we were sitting at the Hotel Jerome in Aspen, Colorado. He’s a Legend! ❤
I was at the premiere of one flew over the cuckoo’s nest at the 10th Chicago, international film festival 1975 and Jack Nicholson was there. He walked into the space humble, but confidently self-assured. Myself and a couple of hundred people witnessed it.
One of the greats.
I love this man and his amazing talent.❤
That behind the scenes footage of The Shining is gold!
Noodles is code = cocaine
He is one of the greatest of all time ❤
Love you Jack wish we could do it all over again !
Dang 😢That's a way to put it in perspective.
I love Jack, because He never did act and never would. He is just beeing Himself for His whole life. Most of other actors are fighting between them selves and others in their heads and trying to understand who they are for every role, trying to be someone else, but Jack is Jack and noone knows the real Jack anyways.
“His name escapes me” class
You are amazing. Hang In There And Never Give Up. We, Your Fans Need You. Love You.
I had no idea he was such, an emotional calm man, now I understand how he is such an epic actor. For me my favourite is still my first introduction to him aged 7. Joker.
HE STOLE MY BALLOONS! 😂 🎈 🦇
"WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TELL ME HE HAD ONE OF THOSE...THINGS?"
@@marcdellorusso180 😂 😂
Why because he got emotional during a speech?
It's called " acting " it what he does there genius 🙄
You should see what he can do with a hamster
by far the most underrated Joker...so many great lines
1 of the Best Ever! He is def in my top 5 best Actors of all time✨
Working with Kubrick on the Shinning must have been maddening=take after take is the Kubrick way,but Jack's performances was fresh as take 1.
He's such a legend.
Oh my God how sincere, heartfelt and beautiful. Jack Nicholson - you are the man !!!!
A life well-lived. Always passion and intelligence in his craft. A lot we don't know and maybe that's a good thing time is short on this Earth life is to be lived. You can't say Jack didn't do that
I’m tripping out after seeing that he has followed Marlon Brando’s footsteps and became a bit of a recluse in the exact same location. There must be something to that. I think the part that gets me the most is how ideal that sounds. Probably sounds like a nightmare to some, while heavenly to others.
@@MonsieurDrobot It probably is heavenly to jack and was to Marlon when they have spent so many decades with such a high level of fame. No longer in the game and probably glad of it. Time for themselves in their twilight years
There will always be a dangerous unpredictability about him both on stage and off; that's what makes him such a magnetic figure.
We all love you
That final clip on the Cuckoo's Nest set was golden!
Always my favorite! 👍🇨🇦😎💜🙏⭐
Thank You for this video. It's a very good tribute to the BEST ACTOR OF ALL TIME. Well Done.
You're welcome, @EricSega-pe8fl - Happy you enjoyed it. All the best!
Beautiful Jack….
Someone give him a hug!
Thanks so much! Good to see Jack back out & about, appearing just tonight, ALL smiles, courtside with the LAKERS. LIFE goes on :)
What a career. What a legend.
"I guess the only danger here is after this I will fall in love with myself". Damn!
❤ About Schmidt ❤
The film that always comes to mind when someone says Jack Nicholson
And.... Chinatown ....
And .... One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest
He makes me proud to be from the Garden State.
His final courtroom scene in A Few Good Men is one of the greatest performances in film history.
Shuttup
You can’t handle the truth!
No doubt its ONE OF MANY great 10 minute performances on screen of all time and FILM history!!!!!!!
Yeah him and cruise were dialed in for that scene, legendary
Really well chosen set of clips!
Thank you @craigrussell3062
Love and miss you jack❤
He's so captivating.
Great compilation
1970s great character driven movies. Nicholson 4 must see roles: The Last Detail , Cuckoo’s Nest, Five Easy Pieces, Chinatown
Great list! Pritzees Honor, as Good as it gets, The witches of Eastwick, and Easy Rider
The highlight of easy rider was definitely the appearance of Jack. Him putting on that helmet was so funny. Don't forget about Batman. His diversity is 😮
Jack is such an original there's so many actors that are like each other they're very similar to one another but there's no person like Jack Nicholson. That's the most unique thing about him is that his original his voice the way he acts the way he delivered his lines his whole persona is just so separate from everyone else.
Thank you for sharing. Wonderful. Such a thoughtful, focused, patient, emotionally deep-rooted actor.
You're welcome @MildnerA! Inspiration needs to be shared!!
I've loved him in every movie he's made. "Five Easy Pieces" is a favorite.
That was awesome
Jack is the man.
One of our greatest actors ever!
I remember the second AFI clip....emotional,honest,genuine,funny.
Excellent compilation! Thanks!
For some reason Jack Nicholson is occasionally on my mind. He pops up and I find myself just wondering how he is; what is he doing these days and how is he feeling? I don't know why, but he is dear to me as he is to so many.
So I was happy to have this short program appear suddenly, and I could enjoy this wonderful man for a moment.
Bless you 🙏 Jack. I hope you are well. 🕉 🎉
Same, I check on him from time to time. Him and Kurt Russell.
Me too. It will be an extremely sad day when he passes. He gets to me. He's a part of our lives either consciously or subconsciously.
He seems to be acting even when he's not, uncanny!
man with the coolest voice
Absolutely my favorite
I never have seen him get teary eyed that was interesting
Excellent selection. Very nicely done. Cheers.
Jack can do , anything he wants.
I cant recall where I read this one but Jack was doing his bit obliging a battery of press photographers and as he was posing for them one shouted “Mr Nicholson, can you take the shades off”, to which Jack replied in his drawling voice “You`re new around here aren`t you”
My hero he has a heart for his talent thank you for every great character
Hello jack happy thksgiving❤❤🎉
this guy is very beautiful--inside and out! Thank you Jack! Love and Blessings -- All Ways!
Happy to be alive watching him evolve/reveal, on film and interview, what it is to live well
My favorite Nicholson moment was the bathroom scene in The Shining. "Married man, are you, Mr Grady??"...
Thank you for this.
It was back in 1994 where I was asked to interview Mr Jack Nicholson at a Dorchester suite at 10 in the morning with 4 other European journalists. I did not want to do it as I am not a journalist myself. The film that he was promoting was a terrible one called Wolf by Mike Nichols.He came in wearing a lovely linen cream suit and sunglasses and sat with us on a round table drinking black coffee and smoking unfiltered Camel. He was talking all the time mostly incoherent rubbish .I didn't get the chance to ask a single question although to the day I still believe I had the most interesting questions written down but the other journalists always jumped in front of me rightly so as the could sense I wasn't one of them , asking cliche stuff. When the time was up after 45 minutes I believe the PR person walked in the room to put an end to my misery and Jack's I believe. He walked a few meters away talking to the PR person looked at me still in the room picking up my things and in a very classic J.N. way winked at me 😉 . I won't forget it as long as I live it was like saying how did you get up here cool 🐈
PS I always thought that he was on something tripping to help him go through the day , don't blame him the film was really bad.
You could imagine how much Jack NIcholson must have adlibbed on set just for laughs. He probably reads a lot because he is more articulate than in many of his roles
If you only ever watch 1 film.. cuckoo's nest .. now that's acting..amazing
Everybody loves Jack.
My uncle went to high school with Jack (Manasquan High School on the New Jersey shore). They used to play pool together.
Well...this is a well researched and editted presentation. Thank you for the effort, I am sure many people will appreciate this upload of Nicholson.
great compilation. thank you for the video
You're welcome @computerjantje , it's a pleasure to share: Let's get inspired!! Cheers!
Fantastic.
Yeah, he still is shining!
Which is why everyone loves Jack Nicholson!
He's done some fabulous films a few flops but which actor doesn't do a flop? But without doubt he's a great actor and he's still going strong at 85
I love this man.
You are right! In every movie he shines through!!!!
Jack a humble genius - also a master thespian
Jack Nicholson should've won the Oscar for Best Actor for Chinatown as well as the BAFTA.
Love Jack. Amazing Actor and a True Artist.
What about Robert De Niro
@@nsasupporter7557 What about every other actor or actress that somebody likes out there? Let's talk about THEM ALL. LEAVE NO ONE OUT.
@@daveyp9885 are you talking?
Weird thing when I see Jack smile it makes me smile
God bless Jack❤
When I was a teenager, I guess it was the 50s, I went with a couple of buddies to the Colonnade theatre on Yonge Street to see a Harvey Corman film, "Hell's Angels on Wheels", in which I saw young Jack Nicholson. I felt WOW as soon as I saw him. Now, about 70 years later, here he is, and will always be in his many performances.
You mean Harvey? or Roger?
@@djtoona Oh. yah... I meant Roger. Sorry.
What a class act, always cool 😎
LEGEND thank you 🙏 for this.
Outstanding essay!
He is alive!!!!
I will pray for America. Please pray for me.
God Bless you.
Jack Nicholson LIVES!!!
Thank You! That was fantastic beautiful
Jack Nicholson is probably the first actor I had a big crush on as a kid. I just found him so magnetic and captivating to watch on screen with his immense charm, wit and talent. He's completely unique.
That last bit is the greatest thing ever!!!!
The last bit on the set of Cuckoo's Nest is epic.
Very good Jack. You are a wonderful actor. I love you.
Pure genius!
One of the greatest performers in the last 50 years
17:50 I love the way Danny DeVito just wanders into the shot and never breaks character.
Jack says, “Acting, easy! Just be yourself…”
a very smart man - probably more than most that Jack transmutes into a magical acting job that's imprinted on film - now try to get at the root of this genius rather than pursue the man itself- this is the heart success all can learn from
He's the greatest
That last presentation/clip was great!
That toothbrushing bit was unusually important.
What do you mean?
...bester Film.
Auch ich fand ihn gut!!!
Trotzdem war mir "When the postman rings twice" noch näher!!!
Natürlich warst Du aus meiner Sicht immer ein beeindruckender, schöner Mann und fantastischer Schauspieler.
Das, was mir nicht so entsprach, war gerade Dein für Alle unübersehbares, überwältigendes Charisma!
Denn
Mit Aussnahme von CHE, Jim Morrison, Bob Marley, Robert Mitchum und wenigen Anderen
sprangen mir gerade die Männer ins Auge,
die ihr Charisma nicht breit grinsend vor sich her trugen.
Oder die, deren Charisma von den Meisten eben NICHT erkannt wurde.
Natürlich freue ich mich sehr über und auf Dich!
