"Living with her glamorous and artistic mother, educated by
tutors and nuns, intrepid on a horse, Huston was raised on an Irish estate to
which, between movies, her father brought his array of extraordinary friends,
from Carson McCullers and John Steinbeck to Peter OToole and Marlon Brando.
Every morning, Anjelica and her brother visited their father while he took his
breakfast in bed.
In London ,
where she lives with her mother and brother in the early sixties when her
parents separate, Huston encounters the Rolling Stones and Fleetwood Mac. She
understudies Marianne Faithfull in Hamlet. Seventeen, striking, precocious, but
still young and vulnerable, she is devastated when her mother dies in a car
crash.
At just 18 she moves
to New York ,
falls in love with the much older, brilliant but disturbed photographer Bob
Richardson, and becomes a model. Living in the Chelsea
Hotel , working with Richard Avedon and
other photographers, she navigates a volatile relationship and the dynamic
cultural epicenter of New York
in the seventies.
A Story Lately Told ends as Huston launches her Hollywood life. The second part of her storyWatch Me opens
in Los Angeles
in 1973 and will be published in Fall 2014. Beguiling and beautifully written,
Hustons memoir is a an eye opener, covering EVERY aspect of her young life."
