He was once one of the most popular actors, now he is unrecognizable: Who is Nick Nolte?
Nick Nolte is one of Hollywood's most turbulent celebrities. The rapid rise in his career was reflected in his private life in exactly the opposite way.
Nolte, who started his acting career at the Pasadena Playhouse, a local theater company, made his name known to the masses with the series Rich and Poor, in which he starred in the first half of his 30s. Afterward, he starred in popular productions such as 48 Hours, Cape Fear, The Thin Red Line, Warrior, and Prince of the Waves. Nolte was named "Sexiest Man Alive" by People magazine in 1992.
Nicholas King Nolte (born February 8, 1941) is an American actor. Known for his leading man roles in both dramas and romances, he has received a Golden Globe Award as well as nominations for three Academy Awards and a Primetime Emmy Award. Nolte first came to prominence for his role in the ABC miniseries Rich Man, Poor Man (1976) for which he received a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited Series or Movie nomination. He won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Motion Picture Drama for The Prince of Tides (1991). He received three Academy Award nominations for The Prince of Tides (1991), Affliction (1998) and Warrior (2011).
However, alcohol addiction, which started in his youth, negatively affected his career, private life, and even his appearance. The footage of him passing out due to alcohol and sleeping on the floor at an airport in the early 2000s quickly spread all over the world. Nolte was also taken into custody at that time for driving under the influence of alcohol.
HE HAD MANY MARRIAGES
Although Nick Nolte entered the therapy process after all this and made his life more orderly than before, the effect of his bad habits on him was not completely erased. Nolte's loves and marriages have always had ups and downs, just like other areas of his life. He was first married to Sheila Page between 1966 and 1970. He was married to Sharyn Haddad from 1978 to 1984. He was later married to Rebecca Linger from 1984 to 1994. From this marriage, he had a son named Brawley, who is now 34 years old.
HE HAS A 36-YEAR-OLD SON AND A 15-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER
Nick Nolte was last married to Clytie Lane in 2016. From this last marriage, he has a daughter named Sophie Lane, who is now 15 years old.
