Jack Nicholson: The Ultimate Superfan Guide
Jack Nicholson's courtside Lakers seat is its own LA landmark - and Dan Tana's is the West Hollywood red-sauce joint where he's been a regular for decades.
Jack Nicholson bought Lakers season tickets in 1970 and turned the front row of the Forum, then Staples Center, then Crypto.com Arena, into the most recognized celebrity seat in American sports. NBA.com confirmed his courtside return in 2023 for the Lakers' first-round playoff win over Memphis - his first sustained appearance after the pandemic-era hiatus. Off the court, Dan Tana's is the West Hollywood institution The Hollywood Reporter and Visit West Hollywood both name as a Nicholson haunt, alongside fellow famous regulars Frank Sinatra, James Dean and Marilyn Monroe. The Lakers tie even runs through the menu: a shrimp scampi dish is named for late Lakers owner Jerry Buss. Courtside at the arena, corner booth at Dan Tana's - it's the same crowd, just different rooms.
