Jack Nicholson’s daughter criticizes relationship with actor: ‘Not interested’

“Lost Daughter” by Jack Nicholson, Tessa Gourin revealed that the iconic actor from films like The illuminated (1980) and A stranger in the nest (1975) never cared about her (or having a family relationship). She gave an interview to The Daily Beast to talk about it.

It is worth remembering how he has five other children: Jennifer Nicholson (59), Jennifer Nicholson (52), Honey Hollman (42), Lorraine Nicholson (32) and Ray Nicholson (30 years). “From a very young age, my mother told me not to tell anyone that I have a famous father. I knew he was powerful and rich at the level of Daddy Warbucks (English term used for someone who is wealthy enough to pay someone else’s expenses, either in a large amount or over a long period), so I kind of equate my life to being like that of the orphan annie,” he stated.

In the conversation, Tessa Gourin stated how he has had no contact with his father for years and “doesn’t know him” well: “My mom wanted me to have a relationship with him but he said he wasn’t interested. I got a really bad random letter but I’m not going to let that go destroy me. In fact, I’m going to use it to fuel myself.”

formed my own opinion [sobre Jack Nicholson]. He’s a complicated person, and I think my mother struggles with her own demons, and with the combination of the two, I was just collateral damage.

Tessa Gourin dives deeper into life without her father

In an essay published by Newsweek, Gourin gave more details about her relationship with the absence of Jack Nicholson. “Growing up without my father, I sat on the sidelines and watched in frustration as other celebrity children secured roles or signed with major agencies,” she wrote.

More recently, I’ve become even more frustrated with what I see as a missed opportunity for these so-called ‘nepotism babies’ to take their position and embrace it rather than complain.
