The first of Jack Nicholson's three Oscars came for his exhilarating performance in the mental-hospital opus ''One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest'' (1975), a role that highlights his greatest gift: the ability to bring the lightest touch to the heaviest material.
In 1975, the Neptune, N.J., native teasingly quipped that he'd reached his goal ''to be considered for everything.'' But the truth is, despite more power than perhaps any other actor in the business, he's never turned complacent.
Perhaps the best way to view Nicholson is as a bridge between old Hollywood glamour and modern-day grit.
