[September 10, 2011]  LOS ANGELES (AP) -- A blaze badly damaged a home in the Hollywood Hills that once was occupied by actor Jack Nicholson, injuring two firefighters.

Fire officials say the blaze broke out shortly before 8 p.m. Friday at a house perched on a slope in the Hollywood Hills. Matt Spence, a spokesman for the Los Angeles Fire Department, says nearly 90 firefighters were on scene with two being taken to a hospital for unknown injuries.

The fire was knocked down in about 1 1/2 hours. The cause of the blaze is under investigation.

According to the Nexis service, Nicholson had lived in the house at one time. After-hours phone messages left for two of Nicholson's representatives were not immediately returned.
