Непубликувани фотографии от дома на Джак Никълсън в Ел Ей, 1969
Джак Никълсън е у дома си! Колкото и рядко да се е случвало това събитие в живота на знаменития актьор, фотограф на LIFE magazine се сдобива с неговото благоразположение. Малко след като с лекота е очаровал публиката като волния адвокат в легендарния филм на Денис Хопър „Волният ездач”, през септември 1969 г. 32-годишния Джак отваря вратите на своя нов дом на Mulholland Drive в Ел Ей. Негов съсед е идолът му Марлон Брандо, а феноменалната гледка към Franklin Canyon е запечатана на снимки, които никога не са публикувани в списание LIFE.
