JACK NICHOLSON and WARREN BEATTY
Women are sometimes heard to complain about the unfairness of men getting older and better. And so they should (left), so they should (right). Men can be envious, too: when profiling Beatty (he of 'Splendor in the Grass,'Bonnie and Clyde', 'Shampoo', 'Reds', 'Bugsy', 'Bulworth', and so much more) for Vanity Fair, Norman Mailer said ruefully that "a lover on such a scale cannot survive without philosophy." (He wished.) As for Happy Jack, well, his philosophy, as told to Hollywood's magazine of record, was that "you only lie to two people in your life-your girlfriend and the police," and the law hasn't caught up with him yet, either.
