"We are proud to partner with Mayor Mike Mangan and the Borough of Manasquan,” said Neptune City Mayor Rachel McGreevy, “Nicholson is an icon, and his connections to our area make this an especially meaningful event for both communities."
As Good As It Gets (1997) features Nicholson in his Academy Award-winning role as Melvin Udall, an obsessive-compulsive novelist, alongside Helen Hunt, who also won an Academy Award for her performance.
