Anjelica Huston

This American actress began acting in the early 80s and received an Oscar for her supporting role in the film The Honor of the Prizzi Family. But the world popularity of Angelica Houston was brought by the unforgettable image of Morticia Addams in the film by Barry Sonnenfeld "The Addams Family". Houston is one of the few actresses in Hollywood who dared to prove themselves in directing. Since the 90s, she has released 3 pictures, without stopping to act in films.

Angelica Houston was born on July 8, 1951 in Santa Monica, California. The girl became the eldest daughter in the family of director and actor John Houston and ballerina Enrika Soma. The father, in whose veins the blood of Scottish, English and Irish ancestors was mixed, the son of the famous Canadian actor Walter Houston. He followed in the cinematic footsteps of his father, becoming an actor and director of the post-war period, winner of the Oscar, Golden Globe and Venice Film Festival.

The girl's mother, Italian by nationality, was delightfully beautiful. She worked as a model, danced leading roles in the famous troupe of George Balanchine (an outstanding American choreographer of Georgian origin). The head of the Houston family was a resident of Ireland, and Angelica's childhood passed mainly among the picturesque landscapes of the emerald island. The girl lived on the estate of the town of Galway, attended school at Kylemore Abbey.

Parents divorced in 1962, and Angelica went with her mother to England, where she studied at Holland Park School. In 1969, Enrica crashed in a car accident. After her death, her father transports the entire family to the United States. Angelica has a large company of brothers and sisters: Tony's older brother, Allegra's half-sister (Enrica gave birth to her from Baron Norwich), Pablo's half-brother and Danny's half-brother from her father's marriage to actress Zoe Sallis.

Houston received her first acting experience back in 1969 in her father's films. The debut is considered to be "Walk with Love and Death", where the girl played the 16-year-old aristocrat Claudia. But the failure of the picture broke the girl, she decided that acting was not her element.

After moving to America, Angelica began to build a modeling career. She worked with such patriarchs of gloss as Richard Avedon and Bob Richardson, was one of the favorites of the designer Roy Halston.

The girl became seriously interested in cinema in the late 70s, began to take acting lessons from the famous teacher Peggy Fairey. Angelica's first notable role in Hollywood was tamer Madge in Bob Rifelson's noir drama The Postman Always Rings Twice (1981). The main role was played by Jack Nicholson, with whom the actress lived at that time.

Houston and Nicholson co-starred again in her father's film The Honor of the Prizzi Family (1985). Angelica brilliantly embodied the image of the calculating and domineering Mayrose Prizzi, the daughter of a mafia don, in love with the hero Nicholson. Houston outdid even the main character - Kathleen Turner. This has not escaped the attention of Hollywood film academics. For the role of Mayrose, Angelica won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, becoming the third highest award winner in the family (after her grandfather and father).

After such fame, popularity fell on Houston. Offers poured in from world-famous directors. So, in the filmography of the actress appeared pictures of Francis Ford Coppola ("Rock Garden", 1987), Charles Sturridge ("Handful of Ashes", 1988), Woody Allen ("Misdeeds and Crimes", 1989).

The most successful project of this period was the role of the artist in the drama "The Dead", which became the last directorial work of her father, John Huston. The film has a brilliant cast, but Angelica Houston, as always, captivates the viewer with her original manner of acting.

90s - the apogee of fame for an Oscar-winning actress. In 1990, a fantasy film based on Roald Dahl's fairy tales "The Witches" was released. Houston played the main warlock Miss Eva Ernst. But this was only a prelude to the main success of her life and acting biography - the role of Morticia Addams in Barry Sonnenfeld's black comedy "The Addams Family" (1991).

Tall, stately, with a waterfall of jet-black hair - the gloomy-gothic appearance of Morticia, embodied by Angelica Houston, entered the classics of Hollywood images. A venerable mother of a family and a vamp woman in one bottle, an ideal mother and a dangerous enemy - the film star has skillfully managed to portray a character full of contradictions and devilish ingenuity.

In the early 90s, the actress was twice nominated for an Oscar: in 1990 for her role in the film Enemies. Love Story ”, and in 1991 for the image of the cruel predator Lily Dillon in the thriller“ Kidaly ”.

In 1995 (after the breakup), fate again brings Angelica and Jack Nicholson together on the set of Sean Penn's film The Crossroads. Ex-lovers played a married couple who lost their daughter in a car accident. Viewers saw on the screen a strong dramatic image of their beloved actress.

The following year, Houston makes his directing debut, wanting to continue the work of his famous father. A woman is filming the TV version of Dorothy Ellison's novel "Illegitimate of the Carolina." And in 1999 the feature film "Agnes Brown" was released, in which Angelica acts as a director, producer and actress of the leading role.

This work received many positive reviews: the story of a widow from Ireland, left with several children, forced to overcome various difficulties, was called "a new reading of the genre of tragicomedy." In 2005, another film by Houston-director was released - "Trips with Sister".

New Hollywood cinema of the 2000s era brings the actress mainly supporting roles. Only in 2001, Houston flashed in the title role in tandem with Gene Hackman - in the film "The Tenenbaum Family", which had great success. And in 2010, Angelica starred in the comedy Once Upon a Time in Rome with Danny de Vito and Josh Duhamel.

The star has not spared television with her talent. In 2004, the film star starred in the series "Angels with Iron Teeth", receiving the Golden Globe Award for this work. Since 2008, Angelica has starred as Cynthia Kinnear in the TV series Medium. Also for other roles on the small screen, the artist was nominated for an Emmy 5 times.

At a very young age, during the London period of her life, Angelica had a passionate affair with British actor James Fox.

Then the girl who became a famous model was whirled in the whirlpool of bohemian life in New York. Houston was the muse of photographer Bob Richardson, the man was 23 years older than his 18-year-old girlfriend. The couple lived in a civil marriage for 4 years and broke up after how, at one of the glamorous parties, Angelica met the irresistible Jack Nicholson, who by that time was already a famous actor.

Nicholson and Houston lasted 17 years in a relationship. For a noble Hollywood ladies' man and Don Juan, this became an absolute record. The couple lived like on a volcano - Jack disappeared for weeks, regularly cheated on his girlfriend, for which she rewarded him with scandals in the best traditions of Italian families.

The lovers finally broke up in 1990, when the woman learned that her lover had once again become a father (the actress Rebecca Broussard gave birth to the actor). But Houston, who always forgave betrayals, this time decided to put an end to it.

All this, as well as other episodes of her rich personal life in her youth, the film star described in her book of memoirs, published in 2014, "Look at me."

In 1992, after breaking up with Nicholson, the woman married the Mexican American sculptor Robert Graham and lived with him until his death in 2008. The actress has no children.

The actress, despite her age, looks good, although journalists reproach her for her hobby for plastic, does not hesitate to show a figure in a swimsuit in front of photographers.

The 90s star is still filming a lot. In 2018, she appeared in the military drama Waiting for Anya. Now the movie "John Wick 3" is being released, in which Houston played one of the main roles. Recently, the actress has been doing a lot of voice acting.

The celebrity does not leave his directorial plans either. For many years now she has been studying material for filming a film about the famous Irish revolutionary Maud Gonn and the poet William Butler Yeats.
