Jack Nicholson’s daughter Tessa Gourin is speaking out about her estranged relationship with her famous father. Since the 28-year-old actress was young, her mother, actress Jennine Gourin, told her “not to tell anyone that I have this famous dad,” Gourin recently told The Daily Beast. “I knew he was powerful and Daddy Warbucks-level rich, so I kind of equated my life to being like Orphan Annie’s,” she told the publication, referring to the 1932 film “Little Orphan Annie”.
Gourin claimed that, as a child, Nicholson, who has never publicly acknowledged her as his daughter, “wasn’t interested” in having a relationship with her.
While she refused to go into detail about her childhood, she did mention that her father, now 85, paid for her early education.

Gourin’s interview comes after she wrote a piece for Newsweek in January, in which she explained that she “sat on the sidelines and watched in frustration as other celebrity children have seamlessly secured roles or been signed to huge agencies.” READ MORE: Geena Davis
