Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever wondered how Jack Nicholson rose to stardom? Jack Nicholson is without a doubt one of the most popular and gifted American actors of the 20th century. The characteristic features of Jack include the dark tinted sun glasses, without which he is rarely seen outdoors, and the somewhat maniacal grin which has a great hand in shaping up his on-screen persona as a psychotic, neurotic and enigmatic character. The real Jack Nicholson is not far from what he portrays on his films: he smokes heavily, drinks heavily, has casual dates with multiple woman and even smokes on cannabis. Nicholson first came into the spotlight with the movie Easy Rider in 1969 and also with the subsequent success in Five Easy Pieces in 1970. His ability to assume a range of unconventional characters is greatly appreciated among his fans. For more interesting facts you must read his biography. Grab your biography book now!

This is unvarnished Jack for Jack-lovers and Jack-skeptics but, also, for anyone interested in the state of American culture and celebrity.

Times Dynasty "A great freeway pileup—part biography, part dysfunctional family chronicle, and part institutional and urban history, with generous dollops of scandal and gossip." — Hendrick Hertzberg, The New Yorker "McDougal has managed to scale the high walls that have long protected the Chandler clan and returned with wicked tales told by angry ex-wives and jealous siblings." —The Washington Post Praise for The Last Mogul: Lew Wasserman, MCA and the Hidden History of Hollywood "Real glamour needs a dark side. That is part of the fascination of Dennis McDougal's wonderful book." —The Economist "Thoroughly reported and engrossing . . . the most noteworthy trait of MCA was how it hid its power." —The New York Times Book Review "Over the years, I've read hundreds of books on Hollywood and the movie business, and this one is right at the top." — Michael Blowen, The Boston Globe
