Though Nicholson is not known today as a writer, in 1965 he had aspirations to be one.

The latter was an early effort for noted director Monte Hellman, who would go on to feature Nicholson in his classic Western films, "Ride in the Whirlwind" (1965) and "The Shooting" (1966).
After signing with Adams and Ray, Nicholson wrote "The Trip" (1967) for Roger Corman, "Head" (1968) with director Bob Rafelson, and his directorial debut, "Drive, He Said" (1971). "Drive, He Said" would be Nicholson's final effort as a writer, and one of several key films he would make with BBS, the production company that produced "Head," "Easy Rider" (1969), "Five Easy Pieces" (1970), "A Safe Place" (1971), and "The King of Marvin Gardens" (1972).
