#TBT The Ageless Appeal of Anjelica Huston’s Beauty — vogue.com

This week, Anjelica Huston released her second memoir, Watch Me. Where her first book, A Story Lately Told, chronicled her early, pre-Hollywood life in Ireland, London, and New York, the latest autobiography presents the actress as we have come to know her—as a third generation Academy Award–winner, model, and muse. The daughter of prima ballerina Enrica Soma, Huston inherited her mother’s unconventional beauty. Striking dark eyes and aquiline features allow the actress to transform effortlessly from the wronged mafia darling Maerose Prizzi in Prizzi’s Honor, directed by her father John Huston, to Morticia Addams, the detached, seductive matriarch of The Addams Family with a memorable cascade of gleaming dark hair. Offscreen, Huston’s elegance and indomitable air, which captured the heart of Jack Nicholson, and his devious grin, for more than fifteen years, have made her a muse to photographers Richard Avedon and Bob Richardson, crush to playboy Marlon Brando, and favorite of director Wes Anderson, who has an eye for all things idiosyncratic. And while her new book shares the details of an exceptional life with disarming candor, it’s safe to say that Huston retains a distinctively enigmatic appeal.
