Jack Nicholson suffering dementia?

[Morpheus, the unwoke.]

There are numerous reports that screen legend Jack Nicholson is suffering extreme dementia and may be in his last days.

Having seen some relatives succumb to senility and dementia I hope these are just rumors but do know he hasn't been in the public eye for quite a while. If he's going thru what my grandmother did I hope he is soon released from it.

As for his career, I guess I'll always remember him for his maniacally marvelous portrayal of the Joker.

So whatever happens,  Jack, I hope you go with a smile.

Well said.  Like you, I hope it's not true.
But if it is - death is a mercy.

A new study finds 1 out of 10 people over 65 have dementia, so it would not be a surprise.

My mom has it and she doesn't suffer from it at all. She makes those around her suffer a bit though!

 No one seems to be denying the reports of Nicholson's condition. That's nearly an admission.

I know he's most famous for Chinatown, OFOTCN and maybe the shining, but I still remember him best as the Joker.

But whatever movie you remember him for he will be remembered.

I remember that you used to hear about Jack all the time, even when he wasn't actually doing anything, but it's been quite a while since I've heard any reports on the guy. 

It's a shame, he was a legend, but I guess it's kind of expected.  He is 80 something after all.

Jack Nicholson had a wildly successful life doing a career he enjoyed. Remember that.
