Although his grades were good enough to receive a partial scholarship offer, Nicholson was not interested in college. Nicholson attended Manasquan High School. As a matter of fact, it made quite a few things clearer to me. "After all, by the time I found out who my mother was, I was pretty well psychologically formed. "I'd say it was a pretty dramatic event, but it wasn't what I'd call traumatizing," Nicholson said about discovering his family's secret. One of June's ex-boyfriends, Don Furcillo-Rose, has since claimed to be the father, but Nicholson decided not to have paternity testing performed. Since June was 17 years old, unmarried and uncertain of the father's identity at the time of Nicholson's birth, her parents agreed to treat Nicholson as their own child and never reveal to him his true parentage. More than a decade after her death, in 1974, a TIME magazine reporter researching a cover story on Nicholson discovered some shocking information: June was in fact Nicholson's mother and John and Ethel May were his maternal grandparents. June died of cancer in 1963, when Jack Nicholson was 26 years old. June Nicholson, whom he believed was his older sister, was an aspiring actress. John was a department store window dresser and Ethel May was a hairdresser as well as a talented oil painter. The people he believed to be his parents were named John and Ethel May Nicholson. Jack Nicholson was born in Neptune, New Jersey, on April 22, 1937, and grew up in Manasquan, New Jersey, about 50 miles south of the city on the Jersey Shore. Nicholson's career has contained some of the seminal film in Hollywood history, including Chinatown and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, and his role as Jack in Stanley Kubrick's The Shining has become iconic.
