  George Nicholson Bradford - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
George Nicholson Bradford was an English recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces.
On 22/23 April 1918 at Zeebrugge, Belgium, Lieutenant-Commander Bradford commanding the naval storming parties embarked in HMS Iris II found there was great difficulty in placing the parapet anchors when the ship came alongside the Mole.
Although securing the ship was not part of his duties, the lieutenant-commander climbed a derrick which was projecting out over the Mole and, under heavy fire, with the derrick crashing against the Mole because of the violent tossing of the ship, he picked his moment and jumped with the anchor.

 Jack Nicholson
Something's Gotta Give is classic Nicholson, a comedy in its purest form, yet one that dabbles in themes that this Hollywood star can relate to, or at least can discuss, such as fear of intimacy, which his character, Harry Langer, clearly has.
Though Something's Gotta Give was written with both Nicholson and co-star Diane Keaton in mind, he did the film because to this actor, it was a perfect script that could induce him to work as hard as he did.
It's hard to imagine that Nicholson has been at the top of his game for nearly 40 years, and over time, the mythology of Jack Nicholson has grown as much as a film career that has garnered him three Oscars and 12 nominations since 1969's Easy Rider.
