J. Geils Band Singer Reveals the Infamous Night When Jack Nicholson’s Furniture Ended up in the Pool

Peter Wolf, the former lead singer of the J. Geils Band, revisits a shocking incident involving Hollywood icons Jack Nicholson and Faye Dunaway in his revealing memoir, “Waiting on the Moon.” The memoir delves into Wolf’s personal life, shedding light on his tumultuous relationship with Dunaway, whom he was married to from 1974 to 1979. The intriguing narrative takes readers back to the 1970s, a time when Wolf and Dunaway’s paths crossed through a mutual friend who played matchmaker.

Despite not experiencing love or instant chemistry upon their first encounter, music served as the common ground for Wolf and Dunaway to ignite a passionate and stormy romance. At the peak of their relationship, Dunaway was filming the acclaimed movie “Chinatown” alongside Jack Nicholson and director Roman Polanski. It was during this period that a fateful night unfolded, forever etching its mark in Wolf’s memory.

The aftermath of the furniture escapade led to a comical turn of events, but it also signalled a point of reconciliation between Wolf and Dunaway, culminating in their eventual marriage. Despite their union coming to an end in 1979, their story intertwines with Wolf’s departure from the J. Geils Band in 1983, marking the start of his solo music career. It was during this period that the band skyrocketed to fame with their chart-topping hit “Centerfold.”
