Had to, got to. They want to know. Once you moved on to Neptune City, what was the scene like there? I started high school in Cool was invented in this period. In fact, to that age group, Elvis Presley was a secondary figure to Ray Charles. And, you know, Johnnie Ray.
This is when all that stuff really got rolling. And peer group was everything. There was not a lot of visible rebellion, aside from the D.
How did you dress? So it had a lot of juju on it. I wore it flat out like a rimmer. That was one way. Now, when we had the dances and everything, you just got the greatest suit you could get a hold of. Always pegged, pleats, blue suedes, thinnest tie, shoulders, one button in front. Anything like Jake Gittes? You know, the hair combed. The glasses in Easy Rider were his glasses.
Not literally? Not literally, but the same. I needed age for that character, I was considerably younger than what I was playing. And had fun, got drunk every night. It was the age of the put-on. Cool was everything. Collars were up, eyelids were drooped. You never let on what bothered you.
And when you got to be a lifeguard, which I did later, why you were the prince of summer. Did you wear oxide on the nose, sunglasses, the whole bit? You bet. Where I worked in Bradley Beach, a boat stayed just outside the breakers and kept people in.
Cool, and look at everything…. Must have been the funniest sight of all time. I was sixteen years old, but I thought I was like death itself [laughs], guarding these people. Then you got the girls…. It was a great chance to impress the girls. It takes a while to find out all them people were lying to you [about their exploits]. I could never make up any stories like that It definitely was a different period, from the point of view of how adolescents go through the rites of spring.
You went straight from there to California at the age of sixteen. I already thought I was lazy, and I had been working since I was eleven. I scored very high on the college-board examinations, so there was a certain interest in me academically, but I had a poor deportment record, and I never really hit the books or anything. And since my only relative in the world was June, who was out here, I came out to look around. I went to the race track, went to the pool hall. June was living there with… With her children, alone.
I had crushes on Grace Kelly, on Rita Moreno…. We started hanging out together. Again, people still in my life today. Don Devlin, Harry Gittes, came into my life around in here, in a house we ran over at Fountain and Gardner, which was the wildest house in Hollywood for a while. Your family was transplanted to California by now? By now Mud had come to California; she had contracted a fatal disease.
She was sort of nursed by June, and then in the middle of it, irony had it, June got cancer and died before Mud did. And the day I got back from that job, six or seven weeks later, was the day my daughter was born.
When did you end up in Laurel Canyon rooming with Stanton? When Sandra and I elected to get divorced. I was doing two jobs at the time, and a lot of it was the pressure from that. One to write a movie [ The Trip ] and one to act in one [ Rebel Rousers ]. Later on, with Stanley Kubrick, we wrote that scene together…sort of the climactic scene of my marriage because I was under such pressure to get this script out, and I was acting in Rebel Rousers , an improvisational movie with Harry Dean and Bruce Dern….
Really the whole period was incredible long hours of work, meeting a writing deadline and getting up and doing an acting job. Most of my divorce is written into The Trip. So I needed a place to stay. I tried moving in with Towne, but that only lasted one day…. Harry Dean I found very easy. The living room was completely barren. I wrote The Trip over in the corner at a desk. Bare floor with a record player on it, and I used to dance around, then go back and write like a fiend.
I see a lot of her now. What have you told her about men? So she oughta have a pretty good picture. He flicks a match to light another cigarette.
But you adjust your life to your circumstances, and I can spend a lot of time on my own. There is nothing in his life he regrets, but one thing he yearns for. A lasting relationship with a woman. I would love that one last real romance. They think of my reputation, Jack the Jumper. He has five children — Jennifer, 47, from his only marriage, to actress Sandra Knight; Caleb, 40, whose mother is actress Susan Anspach; Honey, 29, the daughter of model Winnie Hollman; and Lorraine, 20, and Ray, 18, from a relationship with actress Rebecca Broussard, which ended his year romance with Anjelica Huston.
Nicholson says his heart was broken by Huston, despite the fact that he cheated on her when he told her Broussard was pregnant she beat him up.
That was probably the toughest period of my life. He has been nominated 12 times. Asked if he wishes he could turn back time, he shakes his head. I would rather deal with it. Parenthood is all about being in the lap of the gods.
All you can do is your best. I got tired of arguing with women about going to have dinners, so I hired somebody to cook. The food is better at my house. I was up around where I live and I looked out at the blue skies and the clouds and I realised that this was paradise. He leans back in his seat, stubs out his cigarette and gives a final Nicholson chuckle.

Over the years, he's been linked to Melanie Griffith , Kate Moss , Lara Flynn Boyle and Anjelica Huston , whom he dated on and off for 17 years before getting another woman pregnant.
While the One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest star's openness may come as a surprise to many in Hollywood, the insider says the father of five has the backing of his inner circle, especially close pal Leonardo DiCaprio , It's time. Duvall is very open about her experience playing Wendy Torrance in The Shining. According to the actor, she had to cry every day for 12 hours while hyperventilating and running around.
