Jack Nicholson was born on April 22, 1937, in Neptune, New Jersey. He is the son of a showgirl, June Frances Nicholson known as “June Nilson” (1918-1963) of English origin, by his mother, and Irish, by his father. Six months earlier, on October 16, 1936 [6], June had married Donald Furcillo, said Donald Rose, an actor of Italian descent, in Elkton in Maryland.

It was only in 1974 during an interview with a reporter from Time Magazine that Nicholson learned that his so-called parents were his grandparents and that his “sister” was his mother. On that date, both died, and it was Lorraine, her other “sister”, in reality, her aunt, who confirmed the journalist’s words to her
