Nicholson shocks audience with Streep comments
Jack Nicholson shocked the audience at an award show held to honour Meryl
Streep when he announced on stage how Dustin Hoffman had reportedly
described the OSCAR-winning actress as a c***.
Nicholson told the stunned audience at the American Film Institute show -
dedicated to Streep - how he had turned to Hoffman to find out what the
blonde actress was like to work with - when he received the colourful
response.
According to a newspaper report, the As Good As It Gets actor said: "Dustin
said, Meryl is a c***."
Hoffman and Streep appeared together in Kramer v Kramer in 1979 as a
divorced couple fighting over the custody over their son.

to see them (she respects people's privacy) but they really liked her food
and they asked for *her* to come out so they could meet her and compliment
her on their good meals. They specifically ask to see her every time they
visit the restaurant. Once they even asked my friend to come out to their
table and have dessert with them....
It's just a relatively small and minor thing, but a lot of celebrities (or
even ordinary folk) wouldn't even bother to do that....
Oh, and Meryl always sits facing the wall so people won't try and recognize
her. But apparently she is nice to everyone who speaks to her...she even
makes a point of giving nice tips to the Mexican busboys who work there.

And you are an idiot. Her daughter Mamie is indeed a student at
Northwestern, where she attends with Jill Clayburgh and David Rabe's
daughter Lily:

You *do* know that Streep has *three* daughters, don't you?

I had heard that she was a piece of work but this was back in in the 70's
when she was starting her career. It seems that she's gotten over herself
over the years. <shrug>

Is that Sigorney Weavers daughter on the right?
Probably not. I think her kid is younger.

and Meryl. They were slated to do The Postman Always Rings Twice together,
but Meryl balked at certain script requirements and nudity, and backed out
saying she wouldn't agree to be anymore nude on screen than Jack, though the
films nude scene weren't Jack's decision, and he lacked script approval
changes anyway. Insiders sensed a power play by Streep's people because she
was frightened to play the infamous flour covered butcher block table
scenes, which required blocking the complicated scene well in advance with
Nicholson, a process expected to take several weeks. Streep reportedly was
uneasy about Nicholson's fabled charm and had demanded that the scenes be
done with little or no pre preparation, and she wouldn't specify what she
would or wouldn't do or would or wouldn't wear in the scene. Production,
studio people and contract lawyers all said, no way. When Jessica Lange came
on board the scenes were played largely as written Lange was given the
option not to be completely nude, and the film made her a big star.
Nicholson and Streep later worked together in Ironweed, and over the years
inside reports seeped out that Streep demanded uncontracted script changes
and scene modifications at virtually the last minute. This passed pretty
much unnoticed, but then during post production additional changes were
demanded by Steep's people. Jack who has reportedly been a wildman in real
life is apparently a pro on set and always shows up prepared, hits the marks
and says his lines. Nicholson and Streep didn't clash in prep or on set as
he had with mercurial Shirley Maclaine but apparently found Streep's Yale
Drama school pre-scene emotional preperations tiresome. Then in post
production came demands by Streep's people that she be given more screen
time, and the production people fearing expensive reshooting since
production was long shut down on an "arty' project not expected to turn big
money anyway, aquiesced to Streep's peoples demands at the expense of
scenes with old Nicholson friend Carrol Baker, who was the real female lead
of the film. Several of Baker's scenes were trimed or (reportedly) time
compressed, thus giving Streep more screen time. Nicholson didn't know of
this untill later, and was pretty upset and said they should have trimed his
scenes instead. The problem was, a contract rider wouldn't allow it. The
contract rider was included at the behest of the financing people and not
Nicholson's people. The studio view was that Nickolson on screen is what
people pay to see at a Jack Nicholson movie, and the more time he's on
screen the better. (As we all know, studios don't care about art, only
money.) Since then, reportedly, Nicholson & Streep aren't each others
favorite people.

Ambrose ......you simply never fail to blow me away with not only your
"insider" knowledge but your haunting, smokey *style* of writing .....its
like reading old Mickey Spillane books .....I truly envy your skills with
the written word ........too cool, mate !!!!

attending this event (in which his absence would be noted) would be a
statement in itself. Nevertheless, there is nothing cool or edgy about
calling the honoree a "cunt" even if it's being attributed to someone else.

Actually they liked working so much together in "Heartburn" that they
looked for another film to do. They ended up making "Ironweed" together
a year or two later. I've always heard Nicholson say good things about
Meryl Streep.

info to files given to me by my ex- who used to write a lot of celebrity
material and is and was the most amazing researcher I've ever seen. Though
she has largely given up celebrity journalism for more serious writing she
still keeps files on celebrities that would make the FBI jealous and
periodically down loads raw files to me, a good number of which I have
unfortunately lost in computer crashes and in changes of residence.

too, and can't explain the disagreement unless it was Rona Jaffe's(sp)
always mellowing involvement in the project and the fact that it was a much
lighter film that required very little acting, at least on Nicholson's part.
The nasty buzz around Ironweed seemed to start from the beginning. There was
much concern about eschewing the novels inner mind dialogues in favor of
ghost characters, but the hard reality and heavy demands of character seemed
to make the actors involved feel that it was ripe ground for Oscar
performances. In some ways the whole thing was a painful disappointment. Tom
Waits (at least in one article) blamed Ironweed for stalling his film
career.
Not defending Jack's inconsistency here, but he has a history of saying
nice things about people when there is bad feelings , i.e. nearly everyone
involved with Batman. And he said mostly good things about Debra Winger and
was somewhat charitable in comments about Shirley Maclaine though the onset
reports were that the film was one of the most negative tension filled sets
anyone ever worked on. Who knows what Jack means at a particular time? Jack
seems able to say or do almost anything and get away with it. Jack attacks a
car on the street with a golf club or slaps around a hooker and people laugh
it off. He tells major news reporters to go F themselves and people smile.
He announces that he's a Republican and is pro-life and he still gets work
with some of the major liberals in Hollywood. A vulgar remark about one of
the eras greatest actresses in a joke should hardly be a surprise. Anyone
who says there aren't different rules for superstars just isn't looking.
Makes you wonder if it had been Jack instead of Robert Blake if he would
even have been charged at all. The cops would probably have laughed and
asked for autographs. That kind of power is a little scary really, but you
have to respect it, even if you don't like it.

When did he announce he's a Republican. He supported Al Gore in the
2000 presidential election, and he opposed the recall of Gov. Gray
Davis in 2003.
He did come out as pro-life in the abortion issue, and that's because
his mother was advised to have an abortion, but chose instead to give
Nicholson to her mother to raise.
