Actress Lorraine Nicholson, 35, recently gave fans a rare and heartwarming glimpse of her father, legendary three-time Oscar-winner Jack Nicholson, 88, in an Instagram post titled “November to remember” on December 4th. The carousel included a cozy family photo—likely from their Thanksgiving celebration—showing Jack posing alongside Lorraine and her brother Ray Nicholson, 33. Fans were thrilled to see the famously private actor looking well, flooding the post with comments like, “Your dad nice to see him” and “So glad to see Jack looking so amazing!”
The post confirmed that Jack spent the holiday surrounded by family, including his two children with ex-partner Rebecca Broussard—Lorraine and Ray. He is a father to six in total, including Jennifer Nicholson, 61, Caleb Goddard, 54, Honey Hollman, 43, and Tessa Gourin, 31. Jennifer also showed her support on Instagram, commenting “🔥” on Lorraine’s post. Alongside the family snapshot, Lorraine shared professional moments from events like the 16th Governors Awards and the 39th American Cinematheque Award Ceremony, blending personal warmth with her Hollywood presence.
This isn’t the first time Lorraine has shared a personal photo of her father. Earlier this year, during the “giving season,” she posted an image of herself smiling and embracing Jack in front of a bookcase, showing the deep bond they share. Fans have long appreciated these glimpses, highlighting the rarity of seeing the private Nicholson family so openly affectionate.
Like Lorraine, Ray Nicholson is making his mark in Hollywood. The Novocaine actor revealed in a March PEOPLE interview that he’s exploring his creative voice, experimenting with writing and considering directing in the future. Inspired by his sister and father, he admitted he’s still learning but wants to embrace every opportunity: “I mean, why limit yourself?”
This Thanksgiving post offered a rare, tender view into the Nicholson family, celebrating their closeness, love, and shared connection to the entertainment world—reminding fans that even Hollywood legends treasure quiet, joyful family moments.
