Angelica Houston: the path from the "debilitating prodigy" to the inimitable femme fatale

Look at it - it can not be called a beauty, and it looks something like our Faina Georgievna Ranevskaya. But Angelica Houston never thought of making a career in anything other than in a movie. Early in his career, the daughter of actor John Huston - the legend of world cinema - worked as a model and walked on the podium. At that time, her husband was Bob Richardson. Angelica with her demonic beauty, large features, article and high growth has a hypnotic effect on people. All female roles with strong characters - her, for example, the role of stepmother in Cinderella (and remember, Ranevskaya also played it?).

Angelica Houston was born on July 8, 1951 in the American Santa Monica. Her mother, prima ballerina Ricky Soma, divorced her father, and he sent them to Ireland. "Angel" - it is so called in the circle of friends - grew up on the south-west coast of Ireland, among hunters and residents of the taiga. And up to the age of nine, her tutors were engaged in tutors and nannies. Two years she stayed in an Irish monastery, but with spending the night at home, not at full board. Then Angelica left with her mother to London, where she received education in the French lycée, where she faced difficulties, because the school program was complex, the "taiga" education determined her being with the graduates ... of the kindergarten! Angelica was left in the second year.

Angelica has no children, nevertheless she plays virtuosity as mothers. For example, in the movie "The Kidals" or in the "Family Addams" in the image of Mortification. Journalists, knowing about her childlessness, often ask how she herself was a child? And they get a very self-critical response - a mixture of the child prodigy and the moron. It's hard to believe that Angelica Houston herself values this, the photo of which is kept by almost every male person on Earth! She is beautiful with her demonic beauty and attractive for men.

The events of youth

In 1969, Angelica Houston first appeared in the movie, and it seems to be a joyous event, but this year it was a grief - her mother died in a car accident. Angelica migrated to her father, her adult life and film career began. The most significant men in his life, Houston believes the father, who made such epoch-making pictures as "Maltese Falcon", "Asphalt Jungle" and "African Queen", as well as Jack Nicholson, with whom Angelica lived for 17 years - from 1973 to 1990. But She does not like to think about it. They parted only when Houston found out that Jack had a child from another woman. It was the greatest love in her life and the biggest loss. After the break with Nicholson, she married the sculptor Robert Graham.

Character

Angelica Huston in her youth was very funny, and in adulthood, no matter what, this character trait is not lost.

Angelica Huston admits that she loves to watch Latin American TV series. She believes that they have freshness, courage and fire, so fascinating the viewer.
