Jack Nicholson, one of only four thespians to win three Academy Awards (the Great Kate Hepburn tops the list of winners after racking up four of the tchochkes) hasn't quite hit Brandoesque proportions, but there's going to come a time soon when he steps up on the bathroom scale, and the readout will blurb, "TO BE CONTINUED."
[Old-fashioned bathroom scales start a whole new revolution after the 300 mark for you readers under the age of 40. But you probably wouldn't be here anyway. "Jack Who?"]
Jack Nicholson and his buddy Marlon Brando used to live side-by-side on Mulholland Drive above La-La land on a stretch of the road dubbed Bad Boy Drive as fellow sybarite Warren Beatty (and Jack pal) lived near-by. Brando famously told PLAYBOY Magazine in 1979 that he didn't give a shit about how fat he was, and that fans and the media should stop hounding him and Elizabeth Taylor (who was his co-star when he delivered a knock-out performance in Reflections in a Golden Eye) for just being human.
Jack first let it all hang out in Terms of Endearment, which featured the actor with the greatest Gollywood grin since Dean Martin (TV and moviedom's fabled "King Leer") in a bedroom scene with Warren's sister Shirley MacLaine in which his pot belly threatened to buckle his knees.
Check out Saucy Jack in these photos, cruisin' with some young ladies. Looks like Jack has more lust for the hero sandwich than the starlets!
He does look more interested in that submarine than in does in those foxes! This out to be part of a SUBWAY sandwich shop campaign.
