Biografía

Contended with Cher for roles in films. Huston auditioned for the role of Alexandra Medford in Las brujas de Eastwick (1987) but Cher won the part, and Huston was chosen over Cher for the roles of the Grand High Witch in La maldición de las brujas (1990) and Morticia Addams in La familia Addams (1991).

Third generation in her family to receive the star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, after her father, John Huston and grandfather, Walter Huston.

At the end of her 17 year relationship with Jack Nicholson, Nicholson gifted her a pearl and diamond bracelet which had once been a gift from Frank Sinatra to Ava Gardner. It was Nicholson's way of concluding their relationship. Huston appeared with Nicholson in five films: Alguien voló sobre el nido del cuco (1975), El último magnate (1976), El cartero siempre llama dos veces (1981), El honor de los Prizzi (1985) and Cruzando la oscuridad (1995).

As a child she wanted to be a nun because the idea of wearing a veil was aesthetically pleasing to her.

While filming La familia Addams (1991) turned Raul Julia's frightening medical issue into a laughing matter after Julia's eyeball suddenly fell out of his head. Julia was able to go to set the next day despite his shocking injury. Huston pulled a prank on her beloved co-star; she bought out a novelty shop of fake dangling eyeballs. The next day, everyone on set had these fake eyeballs coming out of their head.

There were many times when my father [John Huston] and I didn't agree, but we always became close again because I tended not to stand up to him for long. I seem to have been drawn to dominating men, like my father and Jack [Jack Nicholson].

Age is not enviable in America. It's not applauded all that strongly. You have to take it all with a grain of salt.

I have a very full life and I am very happy with where I am now. I don't want to change anything. I once wanted to have children and it was not my choice not to have children but it hasn't broken my heart that I haven't. I think unless you're truly, wholeheartedly prepared to make a full-time commitment, you have to really think about it. I certainly wouldn't adopt children just because everybody in show business seems to be doing it.

I like to dance. I probably would have been a dancer. I love music, it's good for the soul and dancing is good for people. I dance on my own, I go to classes, I have that sort of energy. I need to dance. People only need to dance to make them feel happy.

What do I think of the Yankees? I'm sorry, I don't follow football.

I can't help feeling the world is on this terrible roller coaster where nobody can get it up since the atom bomb.
