Mega-movie star Jack Nicholson and his interesting love and family life

Jack Nicholson is the veteran actor and prolific writer who is known to have received an Oscar nomination in every decade from the 1960s through till the early 2000s. For a man with such enviable achievements, his early career days are such an irony. It was far from meteoric as Nicholson sustained only minor guest roles on TV for a number of years. His strong work ethic is credited for his continuous move to the top. He was excellent at playing insane and manic characters in films.

Date of Birth: April 22, 1937

Zodiac Sign: Taurus

Jack not only made a name in the industry as an incredible actor but also as a gifted womanizer. In his younger days, he was a pro at hitting on women and getting them trooping at his feet. In more recent times, Nicholson says he is still wide at heart but has struck bio gravity so it is unrealistic for him to ever experience another bout of romance.

He has everything a man could ever ask for but no one can dare say he has been successful as concerning affairs of the heart. The Easy Rider (1969) actor is however a father to five kids. He fathered these children with four women. As you read on, you’ll learn about the major women he has affairs with and most importantly the kids, he would be leaving behind after his time is done.

Sandra opened up that the real Jack is the loving, caring and big giver with whom they had a sweet six years together.
