He was taught that his grandmother was his mother as well as that his mother, June Frances Nicholson, who was a showgirl, was his older sister. In 1975 the Time magazine journalist was investigating an article about him, and discovered the truth. The father of his son was either Donald Furcillo (an Italian American showman) or Eddie King (Edgar Kirschfeld) who was born in Latvia and worked in the show business. Jack's mother was Irish and had a lesser amount of English, German and Scottish ancestry. Jack made his film debut in The Cry Baby Killer (1958).
