Lorraine Nicholson

Lorraine Nicholson, named after her father’s aunt, is the lovely daughter of famous Hollywood actor Jack Nicholson and actress Rebecca Broussard. When she was only 13 years old, she jump-started her acting career by playing extra in her father’s movie, Something’s Gotta Give. Since then, she has had a series of credited roles and provided her voice in animated films.

Her big break was in the 2011 film where she played Alana Blanchard in Soul Surfer. To prepare for the movie, Lorraine took a crash course in surfing to effectively play the role of a competitive surfer in the film. While she loves being in front of the camera, she also loves working behind it. In 2011, she tried a hand at working behind the scenes, doing screenwriting, film production, and direction. There’s no doubt that Lorraine makes her parents proud.
