In this book the author states that he interviewed me, included quotes as well. I never met nor talked with Mr. Thompson, even though he writes that he interviewed me in my "Palm Beach home". I've never lived in Palm Beach. He claims to have talked with my father. That meeting never took place. Alas, if this part of the book was fiction, where's the credibility to prove that the rest is true? Too many "confidential sources". Using that as a crutch you can say anything about anyone. I know the many truths in Jack Nicholsons real story and from what I can tell, Peter Thompson has fallen short on uncovering and perhaps even knowing what the truth is. By the way, biologically speaking, I am Mr. Nicholson's half sister.

Like many artists, Jack Nicholson has done some hideous things. Like some, he has insisted that they be kept quiet.

After reading this book it will be hard to enjoy him as an actor, but not impossible. One thing which does come through is his absolute devotion to his craft.

And then there's his eyebrows.

He has a natural demonic appearach because he has arched eyebrows. They make him look Satanic and maybe worse...

Enjoy the book!

Not much more to be said. Very intelligent, charismatic, immaculate performer. Thanks Jack. Thanks for your inspiration.

Alright...I just barely got into Jack Nicholson for some strange reason, and I find him a fascinating individual. One moment, he's the nicest guy in the world, the next he's a jerk (I like him a lot!). He's a walking contradiction and that in itself is kind of amusing. Not only does he amaze me every time he acts, the very personality this book describes him to have is amazing. This book offers an insight into his life that goes into great detail about many things...including his relations with Susan Anspach. I highly recommend this book! Tiffiny, age 15

This book is incredible. It describes Jack in vivid detail.You do not know Jack, untill you read this book. What a character. Every chapter tells you something new. You will know the evil that learks in Jack Nicholson. You have to read this book in order to beilive it.

I designed the interior of this book, and did the 16 page inserts. I think Jack is great, and felt honored working on this project. I haven't read the book, though. I have too much respect for him as an actor and don't want to know what he's like offscreen.
