Jack Nicholson retires.

    This guy definitely deserves a thread.

    A brilliant actor with the most amazing screen presence.

    A sad day.



    The 76-year-old star of The Shining, One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest and
    Chinatown has quietly retired from acting, Star magazine and Radar Online
    reported on Wednesday.







    "There is a simple reason behind his decision – it's memory loss," a source
    told Radar. "Quite frankly, at 76, Jack has memory issues and can no longer
    remember the lines being asked of him".







    Nicholson's agent and lawyer did not return requests from The Daily Telegraph for confirmation or denial of the reports, which would leave 2010's How Do You Know as his final Hollywood outing.







    Over a five-decade career, Nicholson received a dozen nominations for Best
    Actor at the Academy Awards, winning for As Good As It Gets in 1998 and One
    Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest in 1976.







    He also picked up the prize for Best Supporting Actor in 1984 for Terms Of
    Endearment and received three other nominations for the award in the 1970s, 80s
    and 90s.

    Retired due to memory loss, hopefully its not the onset of Alzheimer's.

    Sad to see "The Golden Bear" retire, one of the greatest golfers of all time, among the longest and straightest hitters on the PGA Tour during his prime, record for the most wins at The Masters with six, and The Players Championship with three.

    ****ING GUTTED I AM!!!! :(

    WILL MISS YOU JACK!!! :(

    WE'LL ALWAYS HAVE THE MEMORIES!!! :cool:

    I think its true this time.

    The Telegraph is a fairly reliable source.

    He was brilliant in Independence Day.

    He was even better in Mars Attacks!

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    Two of my favorite actors in one of my favorite movies, Dennis Hopper and Jack Nicholson in Easy Rider.

    This was the first time I saw Jack or Dennis in a movie and I knew right then I had to watch anything they did.

    My favourite Jack Nicholson movie was Five Easy Pieces.

    His winning of the '86 Masters aged 46 was a truly remarkable achievement

    Hello, Sean Connery has Alzheimer's, and is pretty bad with it apparently.

    Jack doesn't sound so bad.

    No, but Slater is a well-known fan, and played even McMurphy in a stage production of One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest.
    If I make a move, like raise my eyebrows, some critic says I'm doing Nicholson. What am I supposed to do, cut off my eyebrows?

    Sure it probably was true but he's forgotten and is now denying it.
    Ok bad taste, but that man is the greatest actor on earth.
