An award-winning actress and director, Anjelica Huston continues her renowned family's legacy in film, which began with her grandfather, Walter, and her father, John.

Huston was born on July 8, 1951, to director and actor John Huston and Italian American (from New York) prima ballerina Enrica (Ricki) Soma. She spent most of her childhood overseas, in Ireland and England, and in 1969 dipped her toe into the acting profession, taking a few small roles in her father's films. She relocated to the United States where she modeled for many years. While modeling, Huston had a few more small film roles, but decided to focus more on movies in the late 1970's, studied acting and began to get roles.
Huston most recently starred in Clark Gregg's directorial debut, "Choke," opposite Sam Rockwell and Kelly MacDonald. The dark comedy won the Sundance Special Jury Prize (2008) for work by an ensemble cast. She also was seen recently in an acclaimed cameo in "The Darjeeling Limited," directed by Wes Anderson and starring Adrien Brody, Owen Wilson, and Jason Schwartzman. Huston's most current role is in the Walt Disney Picture's film WHEN IN ROME which opens January 29th.

Throughout her career, Huston has received a multitude of awards for her work, including multiple honors from the National Society of Film Critics, two Independent Spirit Awards, the Los Angeles and New York Film Critics Awards, and an honor from Women in Film. Huston received a Best Supporting Actress Oscar® for her role as Maerose Prizzi in the black comedy "Prizzi's Honor," in which she starred opposite Jack Nicholson and Kathleen Turner.
