 | | Jack Nicholson, born in 1937, American motion-picture actor, writer, director, and producer, known for his enigmatic, faintly menacing grin and his skill in portraying nonconformist loners. |
 | | Nicholson was born in Neptune, New Jersey, and entered show business at a young age, working as an office boy at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) studios, then finding roles in theater productions and in television soap operas. |
 | | Nicholson made his film debut with the lead role in a low-budget film by American director and producer Roger Corman, Cry Baby Killer (1958), but he had mostly minor roles for the next few years, often as 1960s counterculture types. |
