> Twelve Oscar nominations across five decades — more than any male actor in Academy history — and three wins: for playing a rebellious asylum patient, an aging playboy, and an author with OCD. The charismatic rebel who made fighting the system look like the only honest living.

## Bio

John Joseph Nicholson was born April 22, 1937, and made his debut in Roger Corman's The Cry Baby Killer in 1958. He spent the sixties writing (including The Monkees' Head) and appearing in cult films like The Little Shop of Horrors before Easy Rider in 1969 brought his first Oscar nomination. The seventies delivered the core: Five Easy Pieces, The Last Detail, Chinatown, and the Best Actor win for One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest in 1975. He took Best Supporting Actor for Terms of Endearment in 1983, terrified audiences in The Shining, played the Joker in Batman, and collected a second Best Actor for As Good as It Gets in 1997. Nominations kept arriving — A Few Good Men, About Schmidt, The Departed — until he retired after How Do You Know in 2010, the only actor besides Michael Caine nominated in every decade from the sixties to the 2000s.
