The two faces of Jack

Filed under: Imported

There are few actors who have lived as much of their lives in front of a movie camera as Jack Nicholson. When I was trying out some discs with a new DVD player the other day, I accidentally came across a couple of great shots of the guy, 42 years apart.

The first one is from one of his earliest movies, THE WILD RIDE, where he plays rich-boy deliquent Johnny Varron. Here he is at the police station, getting the following lecture from a cop:

"You know how it goes, Johnny-- speeding . . . reckless driving . . . and then the chicken scene. And finally, you run a policeman off the road."

His reply: "Sarge, I wanna tell you something-- you're a very far-out stud."

And now here he is from ABOUT SCHMIDT, at his daughter's wedding rehearsal, after taking some of Kathy Bates's Percodan:  "Uh . . . Mr. Schmidt?"
