About this listen

 Anjelica Huston's life, once she turned 15 and moved to London, is a who's who of popular culture from the Rolling Stones in late '60s Londonto the Chelsea Hotel in New York when she was modelling in the early '70s, to Jack Nicholson and Warren Beatty in '70s and '80s Los Angeles, to Hunter Thompson in Aspen.

She is a force who has won every possible acting award, working with some of the greatest directors of her time, and a friend to many of the greatest artists, writers, actors and musicians. One could say it was a charmed life, an enviable life, and she would agree.

But it is a life also full of so much tragedy and sadness, and Huston writes about both triumph and hardship with extraordinary eloquence and depth. A stunning achievement, her memoir ranks among the best in the genre.©2013 Anjelica Huston (P)2013 Simon & Schuster UK Entertainment & Celebrities Film & TV Women

What a life

Interesting life story for this part of Anjelica’s life. But at times it was like a biography of her father and mother, more than about herself.

You can tell she is extremely educated and has grown up in a well off family as the language used can at times be eye rollingly self indulgent.

A fascinating journey

She read beautifully and her recall of details is truly amazing. It offers a window into a life most of us can only imagine.
I loved her unflinching honesty and her wisdom. Did it in a day and look forward to the next installment of a rich and complex life.
