Here\u2019s Jack!<\/p>\n

Legendary actor Jack Nicholson made a rare appearance this week as his daughter Lorraine shared an intimate birthday snap of the reclusive icon turning 89.<\/p>\n

Days after publishing a blistering essay slamming \u201cstatus-obsessed\u201d Hollywood<\/a>, Lorraine gave fans a glimpse of her famously private father on his birthday Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\u201c89!!\u201d she wrote on an Instagram Story, sharing a photo of the three-time Oscar winner at home.<\/p>\n

The candid snap shows \u201cThe Shining\u201d star relaxed in a cozy, art-filled living room, smiling and clapping mid-celebration while dressed in a dark polo and rust-colored trousers.<\/p>\n

A second throwback image in the post captures a much younger Nicholson in a bright red \u201cDrink Coca-Cola\u201d T-shirt, cigar in hand and flashing his signature grin.<\/p>\n

The sighting is notable given the actor\u2019s near-total retreat from public life in recent years<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Once a constant presence in Hollywood and courtside at Lakers games, the \u201cThe Departed\u201d actor has largely stayed out of the spotlight.<\/p>\n

Lorraine, 36, is one of Nicholson\u2019s six children and remains especially close with him, along with her brother Ray, 33.<\/p>\n

Both followed their father into acting, though Lorraine has since shifted toward directing and producing.<\/p>\n

She last shared a photo of her father in November, calling the snap \u201cA November to remember,\u201d alongside a family shot that included Ray as well as photos with her boyfriend, director Jason Reitman.<\/p>\n

Nicholson also made a surprise appearance in February last year at the \u201cSaturday Night Live\u201d 50th anniversary special<\/a>, where he introduced Adam Sandler.<\/p>\n

His last film role dates back to 2010\u2019s \u201cHow Do You Know,\u201d directed by James L. Brooks, who previously helmed Nicholson\u2019s Oscar-winning performances in \u201cTerms of Endearment\u201d and \u201cAs Good as It Gets.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Lorraine generated buzz of her own this week with a candid essay in W Magazine, where she took aim at Hollywood culture.<\/p>\n

\u201cL.A. has established itself as the status-anxiety capital of the world,\u201d she wrote, adding that clout-chasing follows industry players \u201cto the grave.\u201d<\/p>\n

She continued, \u201cIt means that when you\u2019re at a party, women won\u2019t peer over your shoulder to see who else has arrived, and men won\u2019t interrupt you in the middle of a story to get a drink.\u201d<\/p>\n

She also took a swipe at influencer culture, writing that \u201cpublic\u201d workouts are now the \u201cdomain of influencers\u201d who \u201cwill exchange Instagram posts for free personal training and an unlimited supply of leggings.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn Los Angeles, a social media following means reservations at Alba and free trips to Costa Rica \u2014 but it will not get you into Guy Oseary\u2019s Oscars party,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Here\u2019s Jack!
