Episode 18: 'Award Winners' Bruce Springsteen I Jack Nicholson I Peter Jackson I Nelson Mandela I Hilary Swank Bruce Springsteen :- Bruce Frederick Joseph Springsteen was born on September 23, 1949, at Monmouth Medical Center in Long Branch, New Jersey.[6] He was brought home from the hospital to Freehold Borough where he spent his childhood. He lived on South Street and attended Freehold Borough High School. His father, Douglas Frederick Springsteen, was of Dutch and Irish ancestry, and worked as a bus driver, among other vocations, although he was mostly unemployed. Springsteen said his mother, Adele Ann (née Zerilli), a legal secretary and of Italian ancestry, was the main breadwinner.His maternal grandfather was born in Vico Equense, a town near Naples.He has two younger sisters, Virginia and Pamela. Pamela had a brief film career, but left acting to pursue still photography full-time; she took photos for his Human Touch, Lucky Town and The Ghost of Tom Joad albums. Jack Nicholson :- Nicholson was born on April 22, 1937, in Neptune City, New Jersey,the son of a showgirl, June Frances Nicholson (November 5, 1918 – July 31, 1963) (stage name June Nilson).Nicholson's mother was of Irish, English, and German descent. She married Italian-American showman Donald Furcillo (stage name Donald Rose) in 1936, before realizing that he was already married.Biographer Patrick McGilligan stated in his book Jack's Life that Latvian-born Eddie King (originally Edgar A. Kirschfeld),June's manager, may have been Nicholson's biological father, rather than Furcillo. Other sources suggest June Nicholson was unsure of who the father was.As June was only 18 years old, unmarried and uncertain of the father's identity when Nicholson was born, her parents agreed to raise Nicholson as their own child without revealing his true parentage, and June would act as his sister. Peter Jackson :- Jackson was born on 31 October 1961 in Wellington and was raised at the nearby coastal town of Pukerua Bay.His parents—Joan (née Ruck),a factory worker and housewife, and William "Bill" Jackson, a wages clerk—were both immigrants from England.Bill Jackson was a veteran of the Siege of Malta in World War II.As a child, Jackson was a keen film fan, growing up on Ray Harryhausen films, as well as finding inspiration in the television series Thunderbirds and Monty Python's Flying Circus. After a family friend gave the Jacksons a Super 8 cine-camera with Peter in mind, he began making short films with his friends. Jackson has long cited King Kong as his favourite film, and around the age of nine he attempted to remake it using his own stop-motion models.Also, as a child Jackson made a WWII epic called "The Dwarf Patrol" seen on the Bad Taste bonus disc which featured his first special effect of poking pinholes in the film for gun shots, and a James Bond spoof named Coldfinger.Most notable though was a 20-minute short called The Valley, which won him a special prize because of the shots he used. Nelson Mandela :- Mandela was born on 18 July 1918 in the village of Mvezo in Umtata, then part of South Africa's Cape Province.Given the forename Rolihlahla, a Xhosa term colloquially meaning "troublemaker",in later years he became known by his clan name, Madiba.His patrilineal great-grandfather, Ngubengcuka, was king of the Thembu people in the Transkeian Territories of South Africa's modern Eastern Cape province.One of Ngubengcuka's sons, named Mandela, was Nelson's grandfather and the source of his surname.Because Mandela was the king's child by a wife of the Ixhiba clan, a so-called "Left-Hand House", the descendants of his cadet branch of the royal family were morganatic, ineligible to inherit the throne but recognised as hereditary royal councillors. Hilary Swank :- Swank was born in Lincoln, Nebraska.Her mother, Judy Kay (née Clough),was a secretary and dancer, and her father, Stephen Michael Swank, was a Chief Master Sergeant in the Oregon Air National Guard and later a traveling salesman.She has a brother Daniel, who is eight years her senior.[5] Many of Swank's family members are from Ringgold County, Iowa.Her maternal grandmother, Frances Martha Clough (née Dominguez), was born in El Centro, California, of Mexican descent.Hilary's paternal grandmother was born in England; Hilary's ancestry also include German, other English, Swiss-German, Scottish, Scots-Irish, Welsh, and Dutch roots.[7] The surname "Swank", originally "Schwenk", is of German origin.
