Jack Nicholson and Danny DeVito are childhood friends because their family members owned a hair salon together. Jack and Danny are both from New Jersey.

Yeah and I read that in some biographies about Jack Nicholson. Nicholson and DeVito were living in the same exact neighborhood they were best friends and practiced acting skills together because of the connections that these guys family had according to the biography. It's similar to Jack Nicholson and Warren Beatty being neighbors today and that Jack and Brando were neighbors until Brando's death.

This must have been the coolest night ever with all those legends in one room! 🙌🏻
Jack's various grins and smiles and a lifted eyebrow is the height of his "acting". Love 💕 Jack Nicholson forever.
The sister he is talking about actually turned out to be Jack’s real mother . She had him young and his grandmother adopted him . He found out later when both his mother and grandmother were deceased. He forgave them though

Wild Jack Nicholson is without a doubt one of the greatest actors in the history of cinema. Every performance is eye catching and every single time you see him the movies are all the better.
Big Jack is without a doubt the most charismatic and iconic actor alive. A lend! God bless.
wow, two batman villians. Gotta love Jack's smile too.

Young Frank Reynolds
probably coolest man to have been documented in human history
Danny DeVito story; my friend was on a commercial flight sitting next to Danny (First class of course). My friend obviously knew who he was, but never made one acknowledgement of it. They just had interesting conversations covering lots of topics. At the end of the flight, Mr. DeVito thanked him for the best flight he ever had. He said, obviously I’m recognized everywhere, but you didn’t make it about ME. I learned a lesson from that. My friend made no reference, not even the thoroughly worn out “ I like your work”. Nothing. Just two men discussing everything except Hollywood.
There is no one smoother or cooler than Jack. It oozes out of every pore of his body. It's sad that there are no real movie stars like Jack Nicholson left in Hollywood now.
That’s the most coherent thing that’s ever come out of Frank’s mouth.
That is some legendary shit right there.
Happy 70s Birthday Danny! XD
right jack? no? women? lol...im dying
His smile is so cool!
Jack's net worth as of this year is 400 million.
where was the round of applause on immortality, that is spot on
Danny de Vito, Tracy Ullman and Betty White gave the best salute speaches at the AFI in my opinon

Well admittedly they are very hard workers (or so I hear), but it seems a little bit frivolous to cheer on a bunch of actors. Seems to me that we need to appreciate people who really work in an area that deserves it. Doctors, scientists - y'know. Just seems like our priorities are mixed up.

This is, indeed, true. The masses tend to value athletic ability and acting over jobs that make a functional difference in our world. Our troops, our doctors, our firefighters, our law enforcement, our farmers, our charity workers, and many more deserve our praise and admiration in great volumes. Their hard work and sacrifices are what help us persevere.
@yellowcougar18 And the script for Batman Forever, including the deleted / alternate scenes, was much more dark and psychological than the theatrical cut. The studios were the oens who tried to make it as child friendly as possible. Schumacher had done a great job with the character in his version of the movie. Burton helped him, of course, and Schumacher said in an interview that when he was offered to direct he met with Tim and asked him, and Tim agreed after meeting with Joel and his writers.
