QUOTE: I’m very contra my
constituency in terms of abortion because I’m positively against it. I don’t
have the right to any other view. My only emotion is gratitude, literally, for
my life.

A.K.A John Joseph "Jack"
Nicholson (born April 22, 1937) is an American actor, film director,
producer, and writer. He is renowned for his often dark portrayals of neurotic
characters. His twelve Oscar nominations make him the second most nominated
actor of all time, behind only Meryl Streep, and tied with Katharine Hepburn.
Nicholson has been
nominated for an Academy Award twelve times and has won the Academy Award for
Best Actor twice: for One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and for As Good
as It Gets. He also won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for the
1983 film Terms of Endearment. He is tied with Walter Brennan for most
acting wins by a male actor (three). Nicholson is well known for playing
villainous roles such as Jack Torrance in The Shining, Frank Costello in
The Departed, and the Joker in 1989's Batman, among many other
roles.
Nicholson is one
of only two actors who have been nominated for an Academy Award for acting in
every decade from the 1960s to 2000s; the other is Michael Caine. He has won
seven Golden Globe Awards, and received a Kennedy Center Honor in 2001. In
1994, he became one of the youngest actors to be awarded the American Film
Institute's Life Achievement Award. Notable films in which he has starred
include Easy Rider, Five Easy Pieces, Chinatown, One
Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, The Passenger, The Shining, Reds,
Terms of Endearment, Batman, A Few Good Men, As Good as
