Jack Nicholson retires.

padd b1975

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.

I loved him in As Good As It Gets. Some classic one liners in that.

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!!!!

The Telegraph is a fairly reliable source.

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.

Elmer Blooker

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?

princess-lala

He'll be back!!

Oh no wait........that was Arnie :rolleyes:
