Happy 75th birthday, Jack Nicholson!

Nicholson has been acting since the 1950s, and in each decade, he’s delivered performances that are unforgettable, left images behind that are indelible, delivered lines or whole speeches that we quote for years after.

In honor of his big day, here are just a few classic Jack Nicholson moments. (Some have adult language.)

‘The Shining,’ 1980 Here Nicholson took a friendly late-night talk show line and turned it into a thing of terror.

‘A Few Good Men,’ 1992 Did you order the Code Red? You want answers? You can’t handle the truth! A little nudging from Tom Cruise, and Nicholson was off and running, with one of the great speeches in movie history.

‘Five Easy Pieces,’ 1970 Nicholson just wants a plain omelet, tomatoes, coffee and a side order of wheat toast. Why is that so difficult?

‘One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,’ 1975 Nicholson’s relationship with Louise Fletcher in this film helped make Fletcher’s character’s name, Nurse Ratched, synonymous with any merciless figure in power.

We couldn’t possibly include all of Nicholson’s great bits. Tell us your favorite scene on Facebook.

British singer Robin Gibb in 2011.

 

Bee Gees singer Robin Gibb has woken from a coma more than a week after he lost consciousness and has attempted to communicate with family members at his hospital bedside, the BBC reported on Saturday.

Gibb, 62, has begun to show signs of recovery and has been able to nod and communicate with his family, spokesman Doug Wright was quoted as saying by the BBC. Wright could not immediately be reached to confirm the report.

Gibb’s relatives have said they have been singing to him while he was in a central London hospital, with wife Dwina revealing he had cried when she played him the 1962 song “Crying” by Roy Orbison, the BBC reported.

He founded the Bee Gees with his twin brother Maurice and older brother Barry in the late 1950s. They have sold an estimated 200 million records during a career spanning more than 50 years.

The group helped to define the disco sound of the 1970s with a string of hits, including “Stayin’ Alive”, “Night Fever” and “Jive Talkin.’” Their distinctive sound was characterized by falsetto vocals, tight harmonies and lush orchestration.
