1999 - JACK NICHOLSON
A living legend who doesn't think of himself as such, an enduring superstar simply because he is a terrific actor...
Jack Nicholson on The Hollywood Foreign Press Association upon receiving the Cecil B. DeMille Award, January 24, 1999: "Thanks to the Hollywood Foreign Press for honoring me with the Cecil B. DeMille Lifetime Achievment Award. As my friend Jim Lampley said: "The fact that you've HAD a life is an achievment, Jack!" What I like about this particular award is that it doesn't come from our peer groups...I've come to the Golden Globes forever. Before I was invited, before it was on television and before television it was wild. I saw Rita Hayworth come sauntering down the center stage to some stripper music, putting the dress up over her back, I'm tellin' you. What a sight! I almost wept! And over there her ex-husband and presenter for the night Glenn Ford looked over and said to us all: "If you only knew how many times I've been through this!" I like fun, what can I say?!"
