Today
is actor Jack Nicholson’s birthday.
Considered
one of the best actors of several generations, Nicholson’s award-winning career
is highlighted by several iconic performances. No performance may be more
iconic, however, than Nicholson’s role as The Joker in Tim Burton’s Batman. In
a celebrated turn as the Clown Prince of Crime, many fans cite Nicholson’s
Joker as one of their favorites.
But
just as he’s synonymous with the Joker, Nicholson is equally known as Jack (or
Johnny) from Stanley Kubrick’s adaptation of the Stephen King novel The
Shining. As the axe-wielding psychopath, Nicholson and his performance have
been referenced by several different films and actors. Heck, he turned a line
of dialogue into a catch-phrase. Nicholson has also held memorable roles in The
Departed, Mars Attacks, Chinatown, and As Good As It Gets.
Born
in New York City, Nicholson turns 79 today. Happy Birthday, Jack Nicholson.
