In the upcoming documentary CORMAN’S WORLD: EXPLOITS OF A HOLLYWOOD REBEL, director ALEX STAPLETON takes a trip down memory land recounting the early days and successes of legendary filmmaker ROGER CORMAN. A star-studded tribute to one of the most prolific and influential forces in film, just a few of the iconic names to appear and recall their CORMAN experiences are JACK NICHOLSON, PAM GRIER, PETER BOGDANOVICH, RON HOWARD, MARTIN SCORSESE, WILLIAM SHATNER and ROBERT DeNIRO. Arguably one of the most moving segments in the film is NICHOLSON’S emotional testament to CORMAN’S position in the Hollywood firmament.

Best known as an irascible show-biz bad-boy, it’s hard to imagine NICHOLSON as a kid. But, in the interest of the holiday season, he recounted to us a favorite Christmas memory. (CLICK ON THE MEDIA BAR FOR AUDIO)
