Sadece efsanevi bir aktör, şeytan tüylü karşı konulmaz çapkın bir erkek olmayan; aysbergin görünmeyen tarafıyla çok özel bir ruh ; en uzun romantik ilişkisini yaşadığı Angelica Huston ağzından bir bölüm az bilinen Jack hakkında;

"People think, “Jack the joker”—Jack’s all about fun. And he pulls it off successfully, but it is a one-dimensional view. He is emotional. Life touches him, and moves him, and upsets him. He is a deep and serious person. He takes things harder than you’d imagine or than he would want you to know. On the other hand, perhaps in part because of the early experience of having everyone in his family lie to him about the circumstances of his birth—he had found out that the woman he thought was his sister was in fact his mother, and that his “mother” was in fact his grandmother—it is not surprising that he’s quite cynical.

Jack loved his house on the hill, its walls plastered with paintings. He knew a good deal about art and learned more as he accumulated a diverse and eclectic collection, building it for the most part on his own instinct. He had a personal affinity for pigs and a prime collection of porcine artifacts—photographs and porcelains, which overflowed the bookshelves.

Marlon Brando lived farther up the hill from Jack and they shared the same driveway. Marlon loved to play practical jokes and generally engaged Helena Kallianiotes, Jack’s chief of staff and the keeper of his confidences and trust, to put them into effect on April Fool’s Day. Once, Marlon instructed her to report to Jack that he had decided to sell his house to Sylvester Stallone, claiming that, having been offered so much money for the property, he simply couldn’t afford to turn it down. Stallone in those days traveled with a small army of bodyguards and lived a notably opulent lifestyle; Jack prided himself on his talent for privacy, moving under the radar whenever he wished. The thought of all those Stallone fans at the gate worried him no end. Marlon thought that was just hilarious."
