When he first arrived on the scene 35 years ago, Nick Nolte was the instant blue-eyed, blond hunk du jour. In 1992, he was PEOPLE's Sexiest Man Alive. Then, nearly 10 years ago, his arrest in Malibu for driving under the influence put him in a freaky mug shot seen – and parodied – around the world.

Where Nolte went was rehab, and upon his release he received three years' probation. Has he ever taken GHB since? "No," he says, though he would be willing to try the mood elevator again, this time under strict medical supervision. nick nolte polaroid,
As for growing old, the septuagenarian actor, who is receiving Oscar buzz for his role in Warrior (which is also set for home-video release on Dec. 20), says, "When you start thinking about death more than sex, you know you're getting old. As Katharine Hepburn used to say to me: 'Aging, Nick, is boring.' Now I know what she means." ghb,
