Jack Nicholson is celebrating his 89th birthday with family and friends.
On the actor's birthday, Thursday, April 23, his daughter, Lorraine Nicholson, posted a series of photos on her Instagram Stories in his honor.
Lorraine, who celebrated her 36th birthday on April 16, included a throwback photo of the Something's Gotta Give star smoking a cigar from years ago, simply writing, “89?”
The second photo was of Jack smiling and clapping — with Joni Mitchell in the background, clapping too. Lorraine captioned the photo, “89!!”

Lorraine is one of Jack's six children. He shares her and son, Ray, 34, with actress Rebecca Broussard.
He also shares daughter Jennifer, 61, with ex-wife Sandra Knight and daughter Honey, 43, with model Winnie Hollman.
Actress Susan Anspach said Jack fathered her son, Caleb Goddard, 54. Nicholson publicly denied paternity, although Caleb told PEOPLE that the actor recognized him as his son in private.
His youngest child, Tessa, 31, penned a piece for Newsweek, detailing her life as his "illegitimate" daughter with Jennine Gourin. The actor has never publicly claimed Tessa, and in 2023, she said she hasn't spoken to Nicholson in years.
Lorraine's birthday post to her father follows her December 2025 post that included a snap of her, Ray and their father.
The Dec. 4 Instagram carousel post included a close-up photo of the three. The snapshot was seemingly from the family's Thanksgiving festivities, as a group photo in front of a festive dinner table came before it. She captioned the post: "November to remember.”
