In the evocative memoir "A Story Lately Told," Anjelica Huston invites readers into the vibrant tapestry of her early life, weaving tales of an enchanted upbringing on an Irish estate, her bohemian adolescence in London, and her bold steps into the world of New York modeling and acting. With a novelist's flair for storytelling, Huston recounts the extraordinary circles that moved through her life—luminaries such as John Steinbeck, Marlon Brando, and the Rolling Stones, all brought into her orbit by her celebrated director father and enchanting, artistic mother. Her narrative is a journey of luminous memories, set against the backdrop of her family's sprawling estate, her adventures in London's swinging '60s, and her transformative years in the pulsating heart of 1970s New York. Huston's tale is one of beauty and tragedy, of navigating her mother's untimely death and her passionate, tumultuous relationship with photographer Bob Richardson. With an unflinching eye and a heart open to the complexities of love and loss, Huston captures the essence of coming of age in a bygone era. Her memoir is not just a story of personal growth but a snapshot of cultural history, encapsulated in the life of one of Hollywood's most enduring icons. "A Story Lately Told" is a compelling prelude to Huston's continued journey in Hollywood, offering a window into the soul of an actress before her rise to fame.
