Look at her - you can't call her beautiful, andshe is somehow similar to our Faina Georgievna Ranevskaya. But Angelica Houston never dreamed of making a career in something other than cinema. At the beginning of her career, the daughter of actor John Houston - the legends of world cinema - worked as a fashion model and walked the runway. In those days, her husband was Bob Richardson. Angelica with her demonic beauty, large features, an article and tall stature has a hypnotic effect on people. All female roles with strong characters - her, for example, the role of the stepmother in Cinderella (and remember, Ranevskaya also played her?).
Angelica Houston was born July 8, 1951 inAmerican Santa Monica. Her mother, prima ballerina Ricky Soma, divorced her father, who sent them to Ireland. "Angel" - so called among friends - grew up on the south-west coast of Ireland, among hunters and residents of the taiga. Up to 9 years old tutors and nannies were engaged in her upbringing. For two years she stayed in the Irish monastery, but with overnight stays at home, not at full board. Then Angelica went with her mother to London, where she received education in a French lyceum, where she faced difficulties, because the school program was difficult, “taiga” education caused her to be with the graduates of ... kindergarten! Angelica left for the second year.
Angelica has no children, nevertheless the role of mothersshe plays masterly. For example, in the film “Kidaly” or in the “Addams Family” in the form of Mortizia. Journalists, knowing about her childlessness, often ask how she herself was a child? And get a very self-critical response - a mixture of a prodigy with a moron. It is hard to believe that Angelica Houston herself evaluates herself, whose photos are kept by almost every male on Earth! She is beautiful for its demonic beauty and attractive for men.
Youth events
In 1969, Angelica Houston first appeared incinema, and it seems to be a joyous event, but this year a grief happened - her mother died in a car accident. Angelica moved to her father, she began her adult life and film career. Houston considers the most significant men in his life to be his father, who has shot such epoch-making paintings as The Maltese Falcon, Asphalt Jungle and The Queen of Africa, and Jack Nicholson, with whom Angelica lived for 17 years - from 1973 to 1990. But she does not like to remember this. They broke up only when Houston learned that Jack had a child from another woman. It was the greatest love in her life and the greatest loss. After the break with Nicholson, she married the sculptor Robert Graham.
Character
Angelica Houston in her youth was verylaughable, and in adulthood, in spite of everything, this character trait did not lose. Her angelic smile contrasts with an extraordinary, rough and bitchy appearance, and her relatives say that she is a very good and kind person. She claims that her bitches in movies are ridiculous and unhappy women. Rogue, in her opinion, is much more interesting to play than a combed benefactor. Angelica Houston admits she loves watching Latin American TV shows. She believes that they have freshness, courage and fire, so fascinating viewer.
Cinema, TV
