Art and Eyebrows

Like many artists, Jack Nicholson has done some hideous things. Like some, he has insisted that they be kept quiet. After reading this book it will be hard to enjoy him as an actor, but not impossible. One thing which does come through is his absolute devotion to his craft. And then there's his eyebrows. He has a natural demonic appearach because he has arched eyebrows. They make him look Satanic and maybe worse... Enjoy the book!

Jack is a shining star in a world full of mediority

Not much more to be said. Very intelligent, charismatic, immaculate performer. Thanks Jack. Thanks for your inspiration.

The Best Jack Nicholson Book

Alright...I just barely got into Jack Nicholson for some strange reason, and I find him a fascinating individual. One moment, he's the nicest guy in the world, the next he's a jerk (I like him a lot!). He's a walking contradiction and that in itself is kind of amusing. Not only does he amaze me every time he acts, the very personality this book describes him to have is amazing. This book offers an insight into his life that goes into great detail about many things...including his relations with Susan Anspach. I highly recommend this book! Tiffiny, age 15
