My Take
Anjelica Huston is, to my mind, one of the few actors whose face alone tells a story before a single line is spoken. Her 1986 Academy Award only confirmed what the camera always knew: she is magnetic playing eccentric, formidable women that lesser performers would flatten into caricature. What deepens my respect is that she refused to stay in one lane, moving into directing and carrying herself with an old-Hollywood gravity that feels almost extinct now. The Walk of Fame star in 2010 was overdue. She represents a kind of screen presence — imperious, witty, slightly dangerous — that I genuinely miss in contemporary cinema.
