Jack Nicholson was only recently emerging as a major leading man when he sat down with celebrity interviewer Bobbie Wygant in 1970. Nicholson had just received his first Best Actor Oscar nomination for "Five Easy Pieces". He discusses his philosophy about the Oscars and expresses admiration for his fellow actors who are competing in the same category and the controversial announcement by fellow nominee George C. Scott that he wouldn't accept the award for "Patton" if he won. Nicholson also discusses "Five Easy Pieces" and extols the virtues of his early career Western "The Shooting", directed by Monte Hellman. Once Nicholson achieved superstar status, he avoided interviews like the plague. Thus, this rarity is of considerable interest even if the sound quality is a bit uneven.
