A biography based on personal interviews with the actor as well as his friends and fellow filmmakers: ';Entertaining... A must for cinema students.' Hollywood Reporter
In 1975, Jack Nicholson was just becoming a household name after starring in, writing, or producing twenty-five films including Easy Rider, Five Easy Pieces, The Last Detail, and Chinatown. At the time, Robert Crane and Christopher Fryer interviewed Nicholson for what began as a thesis for a University of Southern California film classbut quickly morphed into a larger portrait of Nicholson's unique craft. It would become the first book about the icon, and the only one done with his participation.
Crane and Fryer conducted their interviews with Nicholson with the intent of showcasing the young star as he saw himself, while also interviewing many of Nicholson's close friends and fellow filmmakers, including Dennis Hopper, Roger Corman, Hal Ashby, Ann-Margret, Robert Evans, and Bruce Dern, providing a comprehensive profile of the actors early years in the industry. The result is a unique portrait of the life and career of a man who has to date earned three Academy Awards and twelve nominations, seven Golden Globes, and the American Film Institute's Life Achievement Award.
