JACK NICHOLSON - JACK SEEKS A WOMAN OF SUBSTANCE

Triple OSCAR winner JACK NICHOLSON has never settled down - because he is yet to find a woman who is his equal.

The star of ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST is famed for partying and a lifelong string of romantic liaisons.

And although Jack was involved with ANGELICA HUSTON for 17 years, he claims he has never found a woman who can handle his wild ways.

Nicholson says, "A good-looking girl is one thing. For any sort of relationship, I need an intelligent woman who has her own independence. Otherwise there is no fun and there can't be any equality.

"I would say I have been lucky with women. There is a down side, though. Have I found true love - whatever that is? Can I honestly say that I have found true happiness with a variety of women? I envy those who have - good luck to them.

"I have stayed single so long because I have never had to explain. There's been nobody sneaking around me with a camera to make trouble with my wife, so I have never had to worry about going out.

"What is there to report if there are no scandals?"
