I saw Jack Nicholson once, when I was an extra decades ago on the set of "Prizzi's Honor". We were filming in a church (St. Ann's?) in Brooklyn Heights. He was about 20 feet away. I was stealing looks at him, trying not to stare. During a break in filming, he paused, looked at me and met my gaze pleasantly with a brief smile of acknowledgement. He was present, connected, and kind. It was only a second but I appreciated it.

Reminds me of the time that I was on a trip to New York. One day we were in a health food restaurant, I wanted to leave after looking at the menu - here we are in New York City with some of the greatest restaurants and best food in the world and we found ourselves in a health food restaurant. 🤔 I couldn’t find anything on the menu that appealed to me and so everyone decided to go to another restaurant. Just as we are getting up to leave John Lennon and Yoko walk in and sit about 2 tables away. I fell back down in my seat and exclaimed “Oh never mind - I’ll have the bean sprout sandwich” ! 😂 I didn’t want to call attention to them and basically just sat there for over an hour stealing glances and in disbelief. You have to understand that I was BEATLE MANIAC as a pre-adolescent and never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine (no pun intended) that I would be sitting 2 tables away from JOHN LENNON ! If I could have seen into the future as a pre-teen - and known that I would be sitting 2 tables away from a Beatle years later - I would have quit going to school and sat in my room waiting for that trip to New York. 😂😂😂😂

@jpsned: It was almost like I mentally flashed back to being a 10 year old Beatles lunatic - remembering watching them on Ed Sullivan for the first time - buying every LP and single record they put out - every Beatles magazine I could get my Beatles greedy hands on. I saw them in concert in 1964 but not the same as sitting 2 tables away from John Lennon in a restaurant on a random trip to New York City. I mean - what are the chances ? NIL ! Yet there he was - and I do have to say - that I acted very cool 😎 no external reaction - no going over asking for an autograph. I’m still kind of amazed that I simply respected his privacy and space. Stealing glances and not staring. Being there - 2 TABLES AWAY - was enough.

@@lilybond6485 And you have that memory and story for the rest of your life. Much better than if you had gone up to them and asked for an autograph--even if they'd been gracious and gave you one, you still would have been invading their space. I think you know that your story of NOT doing so is much better than any old autograph. It reminds me of an astronaut I once knew. He was one of twelve guys who walked on the moon. I had lunch with him a couple of times. During one of our conversations, he told me something about another famous astronaut in confidence. He asked me not to tell anyone. Now, of course I could tell all my space enthusiast friends what he told me, as it would possibly make me more interesting. But I've chosen not to tell anyone, especially since my friend is no longer around. Keeping what he told me secret--as he requested--is worth more than anything.

Jack Nicholson is one of my favorite actors of all time. There are actors and then there are artists. He makes acting seem like an art, and he does it like no other. A living legend and will surely be regarded as one of the true greats who graced the big screen.

Jack Nicholson engaged my niece into a conversation while we were sitting at the Hotel Jerome in Aspen, Colorado. He’s a Legend! ❤

One of the greats.

He is one of the greatest of all time ❤

I was at the premiere of one flew over the cuckoo’s nest at the 10th Chicago, international film festival 1975 and Jack Nicholson was there. He walked into the space humble, but confidently self-assured. Myself and a couple of hundred people witnessed it.

I've loved him in every movie he's made. "Five Easy Pieces" is a favorite.

1 of the Best Ever! He is def in my top 5 best Actors of all time✨

I love Jack, because He never did act and never would. He is just beeing Himself for His whole life. Most of other actors are fighting between them selves and others in their heads and trying to understand who they are for every role, trying to be someone else, but Jack is Jack and noone knows the real Jack anyways.

Oh my God how sincere, heartfelt and beautiful. Jack Nicholson - you are the man !!!!

When I was a teenager, I guess it was the 50s, I went with a couple of buddies to the Colonnade theatre on Yonge Street to see a Harvey Corman film, "Hell's Angels on Wheels", in which I saw young Jack Nicholson. I felt WOW as soon as I saw him. Now, about 70 years later, here he is, and will always be in his many performances.

Pure genius!

One of the greatest performers in the last 50 years

That last bit is the greatest thing ever!!!!

One of the TOP FIVE.......... obviously

Jack can do , anything he wants.

I cant recall where I read this one but Jack was doing his bit obliging a battery of press photographers and as he was posing for them one shouted “Mr Nicholson, can you take the shades off”, to which Jack replied in his drawling voice “You`re new around here aren`t you”

I never have seen him get teary eyed that was interesting

You could imagine how much Jack NIcholson must have adlibbed on set just for laughs. He probably reads a lot because he is more articulate than in many of his roles

What a class act, always cool 😎

He is alive!!!! I will pray for America. Please pray for me. God Bless you. Jack Nicholson LIVES!!!

My uncle went to high school with Jack (Manasquan High School on the New Jersey shore). They used to play pool together.

My Favourite Nicholson movie ..." The last detail " brilliant performance .

The last bit on the set of Cuckoo's Nest is epic.

He's done some fabulous films a few flops but which actor doesn't do a flop? But without doubt he's a great actor and he's still going strong at 85

My favorite Nicholson moment was the bathroom scene in The Shining. "Married man, are you, Mr Grady??"...

You make me smile and laugh at the same time. Thank You Jack for sharing happiness, love, and laughter.
