It seems that Jack was always a Joker—even back as a senior in 1954 at Manasquan High School in Manasquan, New Jersey. Having built his career around characters who tend to smile maniacally or seductively (or both) at the drop of a hat, it’s no wonder. From The Shining to Something’s Gotta Give, Jack always gives good grin.
