Rebecca Broussard and Jack Nicholson
Jack Nicholson may be the most popular, enduring star of his generation. And with his latest film, Wolf, he remains the king of the howl, a man whose rascal heart and private pain fuel his passion as an actor. In a candid interview, the old romantic tells Nancy Collins about his relationship with Anjelica Huston; his breakup with Rebecca Broussard, the mother of his two youngest children; and the family secret that was kept from him for 37 years
Jack Nicholson is edgy.
It’s not just that the big quake has jostled the Picassos at his house on Mulholland, the one he bought for a song 25 years ago—when he was working cheap. That’s the small stuff. It’s the woman thing that’s got him down. Dames. Again.
It’s been a killer year, the final act in a seven-year stretch of too much work and too much love. The work he could handle. It’s the love that did him in.
A year ago last September, Rebecca Broussard, the 31-year-old blonde knockout who mothered Nicholson’s two youngest children, up and quit him after six years. He’d finished The Two Jakes, Man Trouble, A Few Good Men, and the eight-month grind of Hoffa. The news hit him like a right hook to the heart. The rumor went that the young actress had left Nicholson for a younger guy. But Jack doesn’t know and frankly, doesn’t care.
I don’t know about him and I never asked,” says Jack, now 56 and newly skinny, having dropped 50-pound sin the last four years. “You shouldn’t ask me. If I’m weak in any area, it’s ‘I don’t want to know.’”
What concerns him most is losing her. Forget his rogue reputation; that’s entry-level perception. This is a guy who never really leaves the women he’s loved. Circumstances may separate them. New loves may join the dance. It can get really complicated up there on Mulholland.
But Jack is loyal to his women. In his fashion. He can’t help but play with the rules, but the guy’s romantic. His smooth, seductive charm wafts over a tense, modern gal like a cool breeze from the Jazz Age. And with a broken heart, he’s sexy in spades. Still, the question is, after all these crazy years, can the old rascal love again?
“It’s the hardest lesson,” he says, returning to Rebecca. “You’re left. You’re abandoned. And you’re not going to be over it for another year—whatever the fuck you do. . . they do. . . she does. If it takes that long, I’m willing. I don’t think I got the time, but I’m willing to do the time. I’m going to give my need the time.”
Is he still in love with Rebecca, whose pregnancy caused Anjelica Huston, who shared Nicholson’s life for 17 years, to finally throw in the towel? “Of course,” he wails. “I’m still in love with all the women I ever loved.” And, no, he’s not sorry he trusted Rebecca. “I trusted her too much. I’d trust again too much tomorrow night because I like her. She’s great.”
Rebecca Broussard hesitates when I ask her about Jack. This is the first and last time she’s going to discuss what happened. But she’s got a few things to clear up. “After I had my kids, I changed,” Rebecca tells me. There is another man now, a 31-year-old-actor. “He is a very important person in my life.” But she says he wasn’t the catalyst for the breakup. “He has nothing to do with Jack and my reality.”
I remember her words as I watch Jack grab another Marlboro from the silver cigarette box on his sleek, low-slung coffee table. “The tough things come to me in such tremendous proportions that they are always cosmically humorous. I went seven years where I didn’t have a minute off from work.
And the first minute I did, I got abandoned. As a literary person, I have to see the humor in it. But if this doesn’t fill you with a sense of disqualification, then, Jack, you are overly self-confident.”
“It takes a long time for Jack to allow a female into his life,” explains Helena Kallianiotas, a Nicholson pal. “You can actually see it click when it happens. And then he’s completely open. So when there’s a breakup, the roots are so deep in him—like a tree, really—that it takes years to pull them out.”
Though he and Broussard are no longer an item, they’re not strangers. “We have a relationship,” he says, “because of the children, but we have no other relationship.” The children are Lorraine, almost four, and two-year-old Ray (“My man Ray,” says a beaming Nicholson, who is cuckoo about the kid). They travel easily between Jack’s house and Rebecca’s place—the one Jack bought for her after Lorraine was born—10 minutes away.
They had always kept separate houses, a necessity for Nicholson, a man who has made no secret of his war on fidelity, a man who after a quarter-century of trying “every form of living together” realized he just wasn’t good at cohabitation of the traditional variety. “Yeah,” he now says dryly, “I was going to try and improve on the form.” He stops, still sorting out his confusion.
“One of the sentiments I have about my current, ah, breach. . . so to speak,” he begins, staring out the huge sliding glass doors that form an entire wall in his living room, “is that, whether true or false, I really felt happy there for a while. I don’t know how I got there, didn’t know anything about it, really, but there it was. I also didn’t have—which I always have—this superstitious ‘If I feel happy, it’ll go away’ thing hanging over my head. I wasn’t thinking that way.”
Lorraine Smith, who helped raise Jack, remembers when he showed up on her doorstep in Neptune City, New Jersey, with Rebecca on his arm. “They’d been in Europe,” Lorraine recalls. “She was three months pregnant with Ray and I’d never seen Jack happier. She couldn’t take her eyes off him and he seemed to be younger, more carefree, loving.”
Nicholson says he has never had a problem reconciling his yearning for a family with his itch for independence. He fervently believes that a man can have it all without anyone getting hurt. Call it the dream of a guy who can’t say no. Call it Irish idealism in its finest form. Call it an invitation to heartbreak, this time his own.
Mike Nichols is sitting in his tasteful, antique-appointed New York office trying to resist the urge to sneak a Marlboro. Unlike Nicholson, he succeeds. He has agreed to show me a rough cut of Wolf, his new movie, with Michelle Pfeiffer and Nicholson.
The director begins to tell me all the things that are wrong with the print: the color isn’t corrected, scenes and music are missing; he has yet to pull the full moon over Jack’s face here, the shadow over Michelle’s eyes there. But it doesn’t matter. Wolf is a dazzle. Stunningly directed, it is winsome, witty, and scary—the classic love story of a girl and her wolf.

How a mother’s legacy lives on at Rebecca Farm
KALISPELL – July 24 marks the first day of The Event at Rebecca Farm, the nation’s biggest equestrian eventing competition.
Riders from across the United States travel to Kalispell to compete at The Event, some even flying their horses in from the east coast.
However, Kalispell wasn’t always known for eventing. This legendary competition blossomed from a mother’s gift and sacrifice for her daughter.
Sarah Broussard developed a love for horses at 10 years old. However, she struggled to find somewhere to compete. Her family would have to travel to Washington and California just so that she could participate in events.
Her mother, Rebecca Broussard, decided to start an event so that her daughter could fulfill her dream.
“They loved being here, loved what the valley has to offer, and wanted to educate the rest of the world, the rest of the United States, that this place called Kalispell, Montana existed and it was actually really cool even though it was off the beaten path,” said Sarah.
The Event at Rebecca Farm started in 2002 and grew to a World Cup qualifier. Rebecca was able to watch The Event grow, but inside, something else was growing“I was in college when my mom called me and told me that she had breast cancer,” said Sarah.
Rebecca was treated for cancer and went into remission, but cancer came back, much worse than before. Becky died in 2010 and Sarah was left to take over the reins of what had become the biggest equestrian event in the nation. Now, hundreds of people travel from around the United States to enjoy the community and comrdoity that The Event in Kalispell has to offer.
