He famously modeled Gordon Gekko’s distinctive slicked-back hair after NBA coach Pat Riley. Douglas recalls that when Jack Nicholson playfully criticized his hairstyle in Black Rain, calling it an “Anglo-afro perm,” Douglas quickly pointed out that Nicholson himself always uses hair as part of his acting process.
