Publisher Description
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 London to 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.

A story lately told
I wanted to read this after watching an interview with Angelica, but after the first 30 pages, I was a little disappointed. A lot of random memories strung together,with endless name dropping. Not the heartfelt memoir of such a beautiful actress I was hoping for but more like a collection of odd memories thrown together as they came up. This is more a book about her father and mother and their possessions and friends, than it is of her own life.
Interesting in parts but wished it was more about the woman herself.
