Jack and Anjelica
Anjelica Huston and Jack Nicholson were on-and-off sweethearts for 13 years. The pictures of them together are so beautiful - I particularly love the photo of them with him in his robe and her in her bikini, smoking. It shows they were playful, romantic and loved to have a good time. After reading about their relationship, I'm intrigued. In the beginning of Huston's acting career, she starred alongside Nicholson for several films, was around for Roman Polanski's arrest (at Nicholson's home), and suffered the agony of being the lover of a boy, not a man, who was very famous. Through the years, he was with many other women and even fathered a child with another woman a year before their relationship finally ended. She noted that breaking up with Nicholson was harder than any death she's survived.
"...There is really no justice in love. You can't go into something emotional with a bargain in mind. You have to love unequivocally. You have to be direct in your emotions otherwise you can't expect anyone to deal directly with you."
So eloquently put!

Oh wow! Jack was young once! I Love him dearly though! I remember reading an article in Vanity Fair or Vogue that her younger sister wrote about spending time with them and it was fantastic! I think you would enjoy it! :)

Wowzas...he certainly was a playboy! But I'm so loving these photos of them together.
wow i had no idea they were together for so long!
so wonderful. I love finding out about relationships like these!
These are great pictures of an interesting/classic Hollywood couple.
I love these vintage pictures of two Hollywood classics! You can see the love in each one! xo Samantha
How fun is this. I seriously had no idea they even dated! She looks sooo young in the 2nd to last picture. I'l bet despite the unhappy ending that it was fabulous while it lasted :)
What a great find! Gorgeous pics!!!
This sounds incredible. I love reading about grand love affairs, and I had no idea theirs was so convoluted. Will have to read more about this...
PS They were such a glamorous couple.
This is such an interesting post, I love all the black and whites of them. Such a fascinating couple.
Cool blog x
i had no idea they were an item?? so amazing!
First of all, I am one of the biggest fans of Angelica Houston!! Second, that quote at the end of your post is just AMAZING!!!!! I wrote it down and put it on my wall! thank you for sharing!
They were fabulous together...so sexy. I was standing VERY close to Anjelica a couple of weeks ago!
How I love this post! Jack is, in my opinion, the best actor of our times, and Angelica has such a powerful film heritage. They were quite a match!

wow they are a classic pair.
when i had a massive cork board filled w/ inspirational things, i had a picture tacked on of a huge b&w image of angelica smoking. that one of her in the bikini is great! i don't think i realized that were together for 13 years - that's a long time for such a playboy. i bet it'll be a great read.
such beautiful pictures and beautiful couple, too bad it didn't last longer. Jack rules.
jack and angelica are one of my favorite celebrity couples of ALL TIME. they were so amazing together. and she has a memoir coming out?! count me IN!!

I love the bikini picture too. I think she's absolutely gorgeous in an unconventional way. I've been obsessed with her since the Addams family!
Love the 4th picture down! So classy.
Love this post, I was just watching Jack in Somethings Gotta Give this past weekend, he amazes me. And old hollywood romances are facinating:) I added you to my top 10s this week. Hope yours is lovely. xoxo
They were on-and-off for almost 17 years!
