Anjelica Huston: "Watch Me"

Anjelica Huston is descended from Hollywood royalty-the daughter of famed director John Huston and the granddaughter the notable actor Walter Huston. Like them, she won an Oscar and created a slew of memorable roles in such films as "Prizzi’s Honor," "The Grifters," "The Addams Family," and "The Royal Tenenbaums." But Huston has also surpassed her famous relatives by achieving the status of icon; her fame extends beyond film into the worlds of art and modeling, theater and television.
Now she’s added a new accomplishment-writer. Her rich personal and professional history have made for a bedazzling memoir. The first installment, "A Story Lately Told," detailed her enchanted childhood and her coming-of-age as a model and nascent actress in New York. As the second volume, "Watch Me," is released, join us an intimate conversation with the legendary Anjelica Huston. She is joined in conversation by Alison Cuddy, CHF’s program director and former WBEZ 91.5 host.

Such an amazing woman! What a privilege to listen to all she has to say. Great humor and the way she got emotional talking about her father... she's lovely and a great actor. I love her very much. She's a great inspiration for me.

[@andressamedeiros3980]

LOL true

[@filipegarcia5533]

I could spend all day listening to her! Love this woman

[@MikhailTank]

Anjelica is so comfortable in this particular interview, the setting worked very well.

[@halyketarrant]

People can just conplain about her face... why on earth do you care? First, when she was young she was beautiful as a greek goddess, and second, she is the most beautiful woman inside. Which is what you should care about. She will always be my model, she is a great person

[@Someonesaidthis]

She looks fabulous for 66..

[@glamdolly30]

It's such a crazy myth that this woman isn't beautiful - she was a top model FFS!

[@rachaelsas]

The Grifters is one of my favourite films, love her, so genuine x

[@glamdolly30]

Oh my, Anjelica Huston is all woman - such powerful, feminine charisma and presence.

[@ritazanin1429]

Great personality and confidence. A positive individual who has been through a lot of challenges. Not embarrassed to share intimate details of her private life. She comes out as a complete and humble artist. Thank you.

[@MultiKarola]

lovely person/interview

[@JadeDAngelo]

I despise the interviewer for bashing "A Walk of Love and Death". I loved it. It's set in the XIV century, of course it is different. How ignorantly inconsiderate of her!

[@Vesnicie]

JadeDAngelo Her pronunciation of Galway was pretty, uh, galling too.

[@butterflyg2798]

Galway is pronounced like gawl-way. Aside from that, great interview. Angelica is such a classy and lovely lady. 😃

[@MrXereth666]

Cool Interview.

[@ginajohnson3862]

[@TheJewellian]

[@cookie5335]
