Anjelica Huston Shares Sweet Gesture from Jack Nicholson Amid L.A. Wildfires
So, picture this: you’re fleeing from raging wildfires in Los Angeles, crammed into a car with three dogs, two cats, and a housekeeper, when who should call to check in but your ex-boyfriend, Jack Nicholson? That’s exactly what happened to Anjelica Huston, who recounted this touching moment during an interview with The Guardian. The iconic duo, who had a passionate—and often tumultuous—relationship from the ’70s through the ’90s, shared a deeper connection, underscored by Nicholson’s quick-reaching hand during a crisis. “That’s the bottom line with he and I — when the chips are down, he’s there,” Huston said, reflecting fondly on their decades-old bond.
Even after calling it quits, the 73-year-old actress revealed that Nicholson, now 87, remains a reliable figure in her life. They first hit it off in 1973, starred in numerous films, and navigated a stormy romance marked by rumors and passion. Huston admitted that she loved him enough to overlook his rumored infidelities, accepting that it wasn’t personal and that she knew how to protect herself: “If I wanted something, I knew how to go after it, so it wasn’t as though anything was being done to me,” she stated unapologetically.
Luckily for Huston, her home survived the wildfires, though she disclosed that it came terrifyingly close. “My electricity and water and power are still off, but we were safe,” she assured. This sense of resilience was echoed in her musings about the American landscape, which she described as being “in a sad and sorry state,” but she held onto the hope that beauty could still be found amid chaos.
What’s next for Huston? She’s set to star in a BBC adaptation of Agatha Christie’s “Towards Zero,” and recently lent her voice talents to projects like “The French Dispatch” and “Star Wars: The Bad Batch.” As for Nicholson, he’s mostly stepped back from the limelight since retiring in 2010, although he recently surfaced for a special appearance on “SNL50.” Sounds like the world hasn’t seen the last of these Hollywood legends!
