Jack Nicholson: Sad Last Days!

[QUOTE]Nicholson, 85, hasn't been seen in public since a Lakers game in October 2021. The star remains holed up in his luxurious Mulholland Drive mansion. Friends fear he will die a recluse like his late buddy Marlon Brando.

Jack Nicholson has been quite obviously insane for probably 50+ years now. So was Dennis Hopper.

[quote] The star remains holed up in his luxurious Mulholland Drive mansion. Friends fear he will die a recluse like his late buddy Marlon Brando.

Aren't most 85-year-olds homebodies and not actively out and about? Does that really make him a recluse?

He probably has a posse of pussy that regularly do house visits. He's fine.

I wonder what crazy stories will come out after he dies? A lifelong cokehead and sex addict

Likely fucked thousands of under-age girls. He's always been a pig.

I don't know about the rest of you, but this has been a great era in my life.

Shirley MacLaine has been missing from the public, too. Not even any mentions by her friend Barbra Streisand.

Shitley drowned in a giant vat of creme brulee!

She was in the last season of Only Murders in the Building

His Oscar win for As Good As It Gets is the weakest BA win of the 90s

“About Schmidt” was much better

Yes much better there R13

"As Good as It Gets" was like the extended Very Special Episode of a very bad sit-com.

Yea Jack and Helen winning for that was a head-scratcher.

INVENTED DRAMA for copy for DUMB SHIT website.

There is nothing sad about being old and staying in your huge mansion, talking to your FAMILY and close FRIENDS.

For crissakes, this kind of SHIT MEDIA is destroying peoples' minds.

We’re just concerned, R17.

Radar Online is run by the National Enquirer. Cher has been dying for the past 30 years according to them.

What I've gleaned from this thread is that Jack Nicholson is holed up in his mansion with Shirley MacLaine and they're having a Coke fueled sex fest until they die.

I'm still alive, and decades younger than Jack.

Just in case anyone was wondering, or had a part for me.

Buck would never beg for work

R6 What exactly makes him a pig?

[quote]Coke fueled sex fest

An orgy of regular, diet and zero.

He has an endless rep for being a pig.

The worst thing I read of Jack Nicholson was he purchased Brandos property just to have it torn down. Spiteful.

There are no last days. We'll be back!

R27 This doesn't answer my question

At least we are spared from having to see his ugly face in the front row of the Oscars.

[quote]Is he on his deathbed?

No, he’s in his regular bed.

R30, I am not R27 but Nicholson is long-rumored to have treated prostitutes badly and bedded underage females. He was with Roman Polanski when Roman buggered the 13-year old girl.

I wouldn't describe him as a recluse as much as someone who is very likely in extremely bad health. Nicholson never took care of himself. He did drugs he drank he smoked with abandon. Now maybe he quit when he was in his 50's or 60's, but by then the damage was done. If he is having breathing problems, diabetes related problems, mobility problems, etc or even cancer, I vcan understand why we haven't seen him. I had no idea he'd made it to 85.

Jack Nicholson has a son, Ray, and a grandson, Duke, who are almost the same age.

Yeah I’m also shocked he made it to 85. Actors who had habits like him back in the day died in their 60s.

Sad for who? He's an abusive man

Have another drink, Lara.

And Courtside for every Lakers home game R31. I truly he was a bad luck charm to the team.

Damn, r37, we heard you the first time, bitch.

Growing up, it drove me nuts how many dumb straight white guys idolized this jerk. He was a B actor who got very lucky, and found great parts that fit his smarmy white ass superiority that became celebrated by smarmy white ass Hollywood and the media. Everyone "loved" what a jerk he was. Painful this kind of stupidity is constantly celebrated in our culture. So misogynistic too.

R39 Is that why they have 18 rings?

Oh please R42 that wasn't because of Jack

R43 But losing is? Make it make sense.

Make what sense R44? Are you familiar with basketball? You realize they have won games outside of Los Angeles right? And Jack hasn't been Courtside for nearly a decade nor was he at every single game.

R45 So how exactly was he a bad luck charm to the team, genius?

Sounds like a very normal scenario as one winds down in old age- being cared for in his home. No big deal, not necessarily a recluse either. Some people remain very vital and active in their 90s, some wind down earlier. 85 is pretty up there for a guy who has lived as hard as he has, carrying extra weight.

Lovely detour, datalounge style. 😂

The article makes OP linked makes no sense. In one part it says people are worried because he never comes out of his house. Then it goes on to quote people saying he has dementia and that his son and daughter are taking care of him. Assuming he has the money, why is it so terrible that he's spending his "last days" at home getting private care with his kids near by?

The same way you're being an insufferable nit picking cunt R46 it seems to be an inherent personality trait for you

[quote]The article makes OP linked makes no sense.

Irony.

R41, I agree. Smarmy is the word.

Jack never did any TV after he hit it big.

I wonder how Jack's old buddy Warren Beaty is doing? They were thick as thieves back in the day and now they are the last of a dying breed of old Hollywood stars( No pun intended)

Warren was already bestowed with a sad last days thread recently.

They were both celebrated narcissists.

I didn't realize Jack was so despised on Datalounge. I guess I'm a philistine by DL standards, but I've enjoyed so much of his work.

Two of his better later films that don't get discussed much are the ones he made with Sean Penn -- The Crossing Guard and The Pledge.

^He became a caricature of himself in the 1980s. Somewhere between THE SHINING and TERMS OF ENDEARMENT he started phoning it in with his acting. I think in the later stage of his career his persona and his love life took over his talent. He's one of those actors who can't disappear into a role because he's become larger than life and larger than the big screen. Plus I'll never forget how he laughed out loud when the paparazzi informed him of Heath Ledgers death in 2008. There's a sensitivity chip missing there.

[QUOTE] Plus I'll never forget how he laughed out loud when the paparazzi informed him of Heath Ledgers death in 2008.

Where is this coming from, R58?

R60 so what if he laughed that some junkie OD'd what was he supposed to do double over and grief and woe.

No, he said “that’s awful, I warned him”

I can’t find anything anywhere saying the man busted out laughing when he heard Heath died.

"The sad last days of" is the latest clickbait. It's everywhere. Every 60+ celebrity is dying sadly.

R63 "We've lost some greats to suicide, and I think it's time we lose some okays."

For you R62. I actually think the paparazzi were laughing maybe not Jack, but he was grinning like a Cheshire cat. Mugging for the cameras

Nikki is D list at best R64 and her poor attempts to imitate Amy Schumer fell flat. She's not even a has-been She's a never was.

I think the problem for Nicholson is he has a lot of wealth - cash, real estate, and a very high-value, killer art collection - while he has a passel of kids by multiple women waiting in the wings to inherit it all. He's in poor health and apparently can longer keep up with maintaining his current sprawling estate, they want him to move down to Beverly Hill and downsize. The art collection is housed next door to his home and needs to be sold.

Supposedly only his youngest two children have regular contact with him, he's not married and probably has no other family than his kids. He's probably have to be declared incompetent to be moved without his permission, and who has the power or funds to get that done to Jack Nicholson? Sounds like a mess.

R66 This I do not deny, but she had a point.

[quote]He's probably have to be declared incompetent

He’s not incompetent.

Once, when he laughed too hard, he had a little accident. Can happen to the best of us.

He’s almost 86 and for over 50 years has had access to world class pussy, primo drugs and has more money than god and has been a glutton for years. He’s had a good run.

I like Jack. Great actor--maybe the best of them all. I'll be very sad when he dies.

For those wanting a more esteemed news source than Radar, I’ll have you know that the highly reputable New York Post is also on the case.

Hmmm. Why all of a sudden all the articles, from "unnamed sources" -? Re his poor health and situation, which everyone already knew about. I sense something is up, perhaps some of the kids gearing up a legal action? And perhaps the others not supporting it.

The Los Angeles Lakers should build a statue of Jack sitting courtside. He's far and away their most famous fan.

Then again, having a human-sized hunk of bronze right on the edge of an active sportball court might just lead to fatal injury, or at least some lost teeth.

Oh god, pictures of a terminally dissipated Jack creep me out. Not because he is old and melting. It is because he is rotten and it’s visible.

[quote]Oh god, pictures of a terminally dissipated Jack creep me out.

Isn’t that basically any picture of him from the last 30 years?

What moron wrote that article ""Jack's in touch with certain relatives — especially Ray, his protégé, who he's so proud of — but his socializing days are long gone," the insider squealed."

The insider squealed??

If I were wealthy, I would do the same. Stay in and never go out.

Me neither.

All of my rent boys would be delivered.

It seems MUCH longer than October 2021 since he was in public.

@ R41

Waahhhhh Im drowning in a sea of envy. Nicholson was a brilliant actor who mad a series of films that are classics. Easy Rider, Five Easy Pieces, The Last Detail, Chinatown, Carnal Knowledge, One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest, The Shining. Id he is a B actor there are no A actors.

[quote] His Oscar win for As Good As It Gets is the weakest BA win of the 90s

You might want to reconsider that.

[quote]Aren't most 85-year-olds homebodies and not actively out and about?

OH, NO! According to the Datalounge, 82 year old Dionne Warwick still sounds great and 80 year old Barbra Streisand may direct another film!

The fact that Jack Nicholson is still alive at 85 years old after decades of drugs, booze, and cigs is a fucking miracle.

R84 I did consider that but concluded it's relative. While the two you mentioned shouldn't really have won either I can see some effort went into acting. Jack in AGAIG is just being himself, not that it isn't a good performance, but he could have done it in his sleep. Same with Dench's win for SIL.

There was this old english guy who used to be on Youtube- he claimed to be an expert in palmistry and had *thousands* of videos on various celebrities. He said Nicholson had the "saddest" hands he'd ever seen. He said in this life he was dealing with deep, karmic wounds and profound loneliness. It was a surprising take. It made me think of his early years + how he was raised, with his mother passing as his sister. That happened to Ted Bundy too. It doesn't seem that devastating to me but maybe it's a betrayal of trust you never fully recover from? Which is why he was basically a shit actor, imo. Walled off and egoic. Not much vulnerability or introspection. Always trying to impress with how cool he was, how little he cared and how many women he scored.

Who gives a fuck what some loon says on YouTube?

Since when is palmistry considered the work of lunatics?

Palmistry makes astrology look like neuroscience.

[quote]Aren't most 85-year-olds homebodies

With their bodies they oughta stay home.

Didn't he go off at an intersection in LA once, and trash somebody's car with a golf club?

Jack Nicholson has had a long rumored history of supposedly abusing women as long as I've been alive and I'm a middle-aged man. When the "Me Too" Millennials started attempting to right old wrongs & drag old skeletons out the closet, I have no idea how people like Jack & Mick Jagger, etc never got mentioned.

[QUOTE] Didn't he go off at an intersection in LA once, and trash somebody's car with a golf club?

Jack is a fine actor. The hate for him must be coming from the deuxmoi refugees who read insane blinds about him raping caravans of 12 year olds from CDAN. Who cares about him as a person?

From The Last Detail. It saddens me that most of Jacks great films arent readably available.

R19 we all started dying when we popped out of our mothers' wombs. Life is the leading cause of death.

He is a smarmy prick in every role. He never moves or impresses me. He had a sort of awg asshole charisma. Like Bill Murray in a way.

But some here defend his acting. A matter of taste I guess.

Completely agree R101. He was especially overrated in the latter part of his career where he played himself in every role.

r94 I don't believe that Jagger ever abused or assaulted anyone, male or female. He certainly womanized plenty, but was never violent or even angry with his paramours.

Probably because most women could beat the shit out of that noodle armed freak.

True r104. He is a bit of a wimp. I've always been amazed that he pulled as many women as he did over the years, fame and money aside.

R103, didn't Mackenzie Phillips write in her book years ago that Mick took her virginity as a young teen back in the 70s? But no one paid any attention because she dropped the incest bombshell at the same time.

Jacks big scenes all involve shrieking at women. Interesting.

[QUOTE] Probably because most women could beat the shit out of that noodle armed freak.

Don’t let noodle arms fool you. Skinny guys can be incredibly strong.

Didn't Jack go to court for assaulting a hooker? I could swear someone linked to an article about that on DL somewhere

It’s called Karma. He’s a gross pig.

How’s he supposed to die? Is he supposed to drag his deathbed out to the sunset strip and pose with tourists?

I’ve never heard of Mic Jagger assaulting a woman, or even of him verbally abusing a woman. Only that he is a womanizer and philanderer and if he is guilty of anything it’s probably indifference and a tendency to grow bored with his conquests. On the pig scale he falls well below Nicholson and even Beatty.

I have read Jagger is cheap and tight fisted to the point of insanity but that is it. He does have ten babymamas, a hobby which becomes expensive after awhile.

Mick isn't physically harmful but certainly isn't a feminist woman-lover either. This is a guy who lied to his long-term partner of two decades, and mother of four of his children, that their marriage was valid. Only to say it wasn't when the split, for the sake of saving money and alimony.

And? Why does anyone give a shit how Mick Jagger treats women in his private life? Why does it matter? He’s not Mother Theresa! He’s never pretended to be! What is this new thing about wanting to “expose” or judge someone for having flaws???

[quote]How’s he supposed to die? Is he supposed to drag his deathbed out to the sunset strip and pose with tourists?

No, silly! He's supposed to keel over courtside, at a Lakers game -- preferably, a nationally televised game. Then, they'll prop him up in his seat (wearing his trademark shades) a la Weekend at Bernie's, so fans & players can take a photo with him.

R116 I don't think it's anything new. It's at least been a thing since the existence of SPY, Movieline Magazine and The Hollywood Kids (remember them?), possibly longer.

R111 Dying is called karma?

I hope he can make it out of Dead Celeb January

Jack may be out of it on some days, but his staff still hires escorts to come in and pee on him...

Calm down r116. We were discussing Nicholson in this thread, and how he abused women throughout his adult life. Someone brought up Jagger as his contemporary, and we actually defended him as being non-physically abusive, while pointing out he's not exactly been generous to his female partners.

It's the typical ebb and flow of a message board thread. Roll with it (and read the posts upthread before jumping in so fast).

Oh, really, R12?

Tom Hanks, Kevin "Miss Manners" Spacey, Nick Cage, Al Pacino, Roberto Fucking Benigni....

He really earned the third Oscar for About Schmidt. Not As Good As It Gets, which has aged like shit.

[quote] I have read Jagger is cheap and tight fisted to the point of insanity

Why do you care?

Who's the Mick Jagger Slander Police Troll?

Does make me want to talk shit about cheap ugly Mick Jagger.

(R119) Dying alone. Treated women like trash. Cheated on women that actually tried to stay with him. Expected actresses to slept with him because he was Jack Nicholson. Sometimes you get what’s coming to you even if you’re white and rich. Have a strange feeling that Jon Hamm is going to turn out just like him if he doesn’t die from alcohol poisoning.

Hey look!! Its the morality police at R129. No one said that he is dying alone. And if cheating on people who actually wanted to sleep with us was a crime just about everyone here at the DL would be doing life without the possibility of parole.

R125 this is a fucking gossip board you randic twit.

Ok, unfollowing this thread now. Thanks, guys.

^^This muthafucka here thinks it’s an airport or something.

Jack’s sad last days are either karma, or…..nothing. I think it’s nothing. If karma was coming for him, it would have happened long, long ago. Regardless of his sluttiness, he was just a real prick. And don’t think he was a friend of Dorothy, he was anything but.

True.

I hated the piece of shit.

I hate people who announce they’re leaving a thread. Dummies of the internet.

He looks ok. A bit dishevelled but he's 85, give him a break

What the hell are people supposed to be doing in their "last days?" Going out dancing and drinking and partying? Sounds like he just wants his ending to be a quiet one.

He looks like how I did after I forced myself to go outside and sit in the sun for 15 minutes after I'd been drinking heavily almost every day for 3 years straight...blinking at the blinding daylight and trying to sober up.

Yes, yes...I know he's old and potentially ill and/or has dementia. It was a joke.

R6 he's never beating the allegations and he knows that. Probably just wants to avoid getting dragged through the mud and MeToo'd in his dotage. Old Skeksis will probably die and get clean away with it, though, sadly.

OK, who's gonna start the Lara Flynn Boyle re-hash? Jack's demonic role in her downward trajectory into degradation is a classic here on DL. Remember the CDAN blind and all the rest of it? Some would say ole' Jack is paying for it now . . .

R137: Other than his weight, he looks pretty damn good for 85.

He is neat. And a legend. Fuck you haters.

Why did Jack and Dennis Hopper hate Peter Fonda? About Jack. I remember when he was accused of beating up two hookers and refusing to let them leave his house. That was National Enquirer headlines for weeks.

I’m sure it was true, kween^.

It’s amazing he’s made it to 85- many people as they reach the hard end of life keep close to home- perhaps the most normal thing he’s done. In any case, he’s a great actor and has left an incredible body of work on film.

Something I noticed, which I think should be somewhat encouraging to his fans...look at how CLEAN his sweatpants & t-shirt are. Other than the stretched-out shirt collar (likely from sleeping) they appear freshly laundered, and relatively new? They are not faded/haven't been washed hundreds of times.

That might seem like a minor thing to some, but when my father (dementia) was Jack's age...it was a MIGHTY struggle to keep him in clean (or rather, unstained), decent-looking clothes. Especially when just hanging around the house. He had plenty, but he had his favorite old shirts, sweatpants, threadbare khakis, and pajamas -- and he didn't give a shit if they were stained, or falling apart. (And god help you if you tried to throw any of them away, behind his back).

[quote] "Likely fucked thousands of under-age girls. He's always been a pig."

Part of me still holds out in the hopes that he wasn't as bad as his buddy Roman Polanski.

If he wants to die as a recluse, let him. Personally, my greatest fear in life is that I’ll die surrounded by friends and family.

He's got the titties of a 13 year old girl. He probably likes them

Wasn't he the one who was supposed to be dead months ago, according to a blind item from CDAN ? They said a legendary Hollywood actor who was on his death bed at the end of December, and he was about to die in the new year. Friends and family were visiting him to 'pay their last respects' over Christmas.

Everyone guessed it was him, Redford, Willis, or Eastwood. So far, they're all alive.

Fans rush to Jack’s defense after new paparazzi photos emerged.

He does look disheveled in those pics, but he also looks like he could be cleaned up. He’s standing on his own and he doesn’t look at all weak or thin. He just looks like he rolled out of bed, which he’s entitled to do.

I think he's a brilliant actor. I also think he is probably a POS. But I don't need to know about his personal life. I just know if he is in a movie I will probably watch it.
