Anjelica Huston (born July 8, 1951) is an American actress and former fashion model.

Huston became the third generation of her family to win an Oscar for her performance in 1985's Prizzi's Honor, joining her director father, John, and actor grandfather, Walter. She later was nominated in 1990 and 1991 for her acting in Enemies, a Love Story and The Grifters respectively. Among her roles, she starred as Morticia Addams in The Addams Family (1991) and Addams Family Values (1993), receiving Golden Globe nominations for both.

Biography

Early life

Directing

After a handful of prominent roles in both television and in film, Huston stepped away from acting, following in her father’s footsteps in the Director’s chair. The first film she directed was Bastard Out of Carolina (1996); another was Agnes Browne (1999), in which she both directed and starred, and Riding the Bus with My Sister (2005).

Activism

In 2007, Huston led a letter campaign organized by the US Campaign for Burma and Human Rights Action Center. The letter, signed by over 25 other high-profile individuals from the entertainment business, was addressed to the United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and urged him to "personally intervene" to secure the release of Nobel Peace Prize recipient Aung San Suu Kyi of Burma.[1]
