Jack Nicholson – Born in 1937, Chinatown
New Jersey-born Jack Nicholson was 13 when he moved to California to visit his sister. The city worked its magic on him, and he decided to become an actor. He got the required training and began with small parts in theatre and television soap operas. Even his film debut was in a low-budget teen drama, “The Cry Baby Killer.”
Things went on that way for so long that Nicholson began losing interest in acting. But his consistency paid off when he landed his big break in 1969 with “Easy Rider.” Today, he is considered one of the greatest actors of all time, with many awards to show for it.
