    Got to play on a softball team with Jeff Daniels in the Performing Arts League, Central Park, NYC. He always had his Tigers cap on and he was an excellent first baseman (and good hitter). We won the championship that year. Good guy, sly sense of humor.

      A little aside Matthew...in the film One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest...when they wanted to hear the baseball game...the radio announcer was played by Ernie Harwell...the voice that every Detroiter cherishes...many decades of announcing for the Tigers. Also the only announcer who was traded for a player

    Made me choke up. What a great story. I'm flashing back to when "Terms Of Endearment" came out, it was the movie of the year, and this new guy Jeff Daniels playing this creep, and this incredible performance from Jack Nicholson (not to mention Shirley Maclaine, Debra Winger, et al). And no matter how much time goes by....to me, he's always the guy from "Terms Of Endearment" and also "Fifth Of July", the Broadway play he was in that was shown on TV around the same time. I don't know which I saw first, but he's always those two characters in my mind, more than anything else. That story brings it full circle.

      They are all alive too. Saw Jack Nicholson in Barnes and Noble where I worked in the summer 1994 on 86th street and Lexington Avenue in Manhattan. He was in a stretch limo and went straight to the fiction mass market section with probably eight paperbacks and paid with a Benjamin. Everyone recognized him.

    Jack is a wonderful guy, I knew him and he was a guest in my home, my husband's home up Benedict Canyon. He always felt like someone I had known forever. But, last time I saw him at the funeral, of a Hollywood figure he did not know me. All the guys were there, he kept his distance; they told me had dementia. It is sad, he has such a big talent and a bigger heart. He contributed so much to the film business. His films are classics.

    Was in a movie theater in Queens NY with my girlfriend at the time watching Terms Of Endearment and the supermarket scene happened. When John Lithgow said to the young lady who was the cashier giving Debra Winger a hard time “We’ll you must be from NY!” The entire theater gave Lithgow’s line a great big “Raspberry”! It was however despite that a very good film.

    I just watched 'Terms' the other day. And it was another of those movies that reminds you of how actresses have such a limited career span in Hollywood. Debra Winger was fantastic in that movie but I haven't seen her for ages. Jeff Daniels, John Lithgow and Danny DeVito are all still getting jobs.

      I think I get it. Jack Nicholson doing the “You can’t handle the truth” scene eight nights a week-that kind of intensity isn’t sustainable on his level of delivery. Then again, maybe he’s saying he’s not patient enough an actor to play with the monologue week after week.

Jack also added, to lighten the mood, "what I just said would be funny if I were Don Rickles, so just consider what I said to be friendly advice."
