Yeah, I'm a Nicholson fan myself; recently ran across a video entitled
"Hells Angels On Wheels", made in 1967; low-budget, but worth seeing if
you're a JN fan. His film debut was in the 1958 "CryBaby Killer", which
I've never seen. I've seen quite a few of his films and have really enjoyed
most with a few exceptions. As you probably know, he got his big break
in the 1969 flick, "Easy Rider", as the country lawyer. He scripted several films before then, including "The Trip", featuring Peter Fonda; so
there was a decade or so of him having to "pay his dues", he wasn't an
instant star. "OFOTCCN" really put him on the map; I remember it vividly
at the theater upon initial release; "Five Easy Pieces" was another good
one for him, then of course, "The Shining". Jack has won 3 Oscars for
Best Actor, putting him in elite company. - AH
