Huston is one of those improbable people who you can't help liking even though in many ways she was born on third base - stunning mother, father John Huston, unconventional looks which led to modelling work, a lead role in a feature for her first acting gig, growing up in Ireland with sidetrips to London and Europe and everywhere, really.
It wasn't all easy. Mum died in a car crash, dad was often not around, there were plenty of sex pests. This goes up to her moving to LA which began her relationship with Jack Nicholson. There's fascinating accounts of Huston household life and making her movie and her lover, the photographer Bob Richardson. Huston is a beautiful writer. I was hoping for more muck raking but that's me.
