At the time, Robert Crane and Christopher Fryer interviewed Nicholson for what began as a thesis for a University of Southern California film class--but quickly morphed into a larger portrait of Nicholson's unique craft. It would become the first book about the icon, and the only one done with his participation.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Crane and Fryer conducted their interviews with Nicholson with the intent of showcasing the young star as he saw himself, while also interviewing many of Nicholson's close friends and fellow filmmakers, including Dennis Hopper, Roger Corman, Hal Ashby, Ann-Margret, Robert Evans, and Bruce Dern, providing a comprehensive profile of the actor's early years in the industry.
