The pleasure of acting is to lead other lives different than your own, and the richer your own life, the more experiences you can represent in your work.  That’s certainly the case with the magnificent Anjelica Huston, whose name is rarely mentioned when shoring up the actors we consider the most versatile, but whose resume covers a great deal of experience: the low-life con artist of The Grifters, the baroque elegance of Morticia Addams, the subversive presence of New York City mob heiress Maerose Prizzi, and so many more.

Her friends’ nagging paid off. The 62-year-old Huston, who has known fame first as the daughter of a legendary film director, then as a Vogue model, then as Jack Nicholson’s longtime girlfriend, then as an actress and then as a director herself, now adds author to her stellar résumé: “A Story Lately Told: Coming of Age in Ireland, London and New York” is her first of two memoirs to be published by Scribner.

Told in lush prose, the book is at once an eyewitness account of the social history of London and New York in the ’60s and ’70s, a wistful remembrance of childhood in an idyllic Irish country manor, and an exploration of what it
