Anjelica Huston (born July 8, 1951) is an Academy Award-winning American actress of both feature films and television. Among her roles, she starred as Morticia Addams in The Addams Family

Biography

Huston was born in Los Angeles, California, the daughter of film director John Huston and granddaughter of actor Walter Huston; her mother was an Italian American dancer. Anjelica was raised mainly in Ireland and England. Two of the first movies she appeared in, Sinful Davey (1969) and A Walk with Love and Death (1969), were directed by her father even though he did not want her to be an actress. She also starred in The Dead (1987), which was her father's last film. She appeared in few films in the 1970s, choosing to try modeling instead.

Huston won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for Prizzi's Honor
(1985 and again directed by her father). She was nominated for Academy Award for Best Actress for The Grifters (1990). She was also nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her work in Enemies, a Love Story 1989. Huston has received five Emmy Award nominations for her television work over the years.

Huston directed Bastard Out of Carolina which depicts a young girl suffering from sexual abuse by her stepfather (1996), Agnes Browne (1999) (for which she also was the producer) and the TV movie Riding the Bus with My Sister (2005).

Huston lived with Jack Nicholson from 1973 to 1989. She is married to the sculptor Robert Graham Jr. (1992—), has no children, and resides in an unusual dwelling in Venice, California. She refused to move to the Bohemian area unless Graham built them a fortress in which to live. The result was a giant, windowless structure behind an opaque 40-foot fence.
