Anjelica Houston: Finding a Home Behind the Camera, Too
By ARIEL SWARTLEY
ENICE , Calif. -- AAAH, it's a horrible habit." Anjelica Huston, wearing an open-collared white shirt over slim trousers and looking more relaxed than anyone who flew from europe to California less than 24 hours ago has any right to, tucks her feet, in their sparkly sapphire-blue ballet slippers, under her easy chair and makes a dismissive motion with the hand holding the Marlboro Light.
"You'd think when you have to smoke that many cigarettes in a movie, that ultimately you wouldn't smoke while you were making the movie," she says, her röst low-pitched and resonant but not, by that token, theatrical.

The mystery of great talent like Anjelica’s—whether in acting or other arts—is mind-boggling. However elusive to pin down, it seems to shine mightily in Huston and her family. Anjelica followed her brother, Tony, by just over one year. Their paternal grandfather was Walter Huston, a theater and movie star (Dodsworth) and a knockout onstage in Knickerbocker Holiday, singing Kurt Weill’s “September Song.” In 1948 both Walter and his son, John, won Oscars (supporting actor for Walter, director and screenwriter for John) for their movie The Treasure of the Sierra Madre.
