RadarOnline is reporting that three-time Academy Award winning actor Jack Nicholson, 76, has retired from acting, citing difficulty memorizing dialogue as the reason. The late Marlon Brando had similar issues in the twilight of his career. Sad news if true.
Sucks if true. Very sad news. Certainly one of my favorite actors of all-time. An icon in his industry.
Hopefully he forgets he is a Laker fan and finds a new love for the Blazers... Would love to see Jack courtside.
He was a brilliant actor and writer. I can't think of a bad movie he was in. In the batman movie, he played the Joker. I thought he was so good, they should have named the movie, "The Joker." He was outstanding in Cuckoo's Nest and terms of Endearment. Easy Rider, a Few Good Men, Chinatown, the Shining, and lots more to his credit. DeNiro and Eastwood were better, but not by much. And Christopher Lloyd is seriously underrated.
Nicholson was more selective, thankfully, than his peers like DeNiro and Pacino. That generation (with Redford, Hoffman, Beatty, Duvall, Newman, etc.) is starting to fade out.
I've dealt with Radar Online in the past, they are one of the least reliable news sources and their reporters are really bottom of the barrel and unprofessional. They are total scumbags.
