Jack Nicholson Checks In on Anjelica Huston Amid L.A. Wildfires: Old Flames Never Die
In a heartwarming and slightly nostalgic twist, Jack Nicholson showed that some bonds are truly unbreakable. Amidst the chaos of the recent wildfires sweeping through Los Angeles, Anjelica Huston, his long-ago flame, shared that Jack reached out to ensure she was safe. Huston reminisced in an interview with *The Guardian*, revealing that while she was packed into a car with her pets and housekeeper, Nicholson, 87, called to check on her well-being. “When the chips are down, he’s there,” she quipped, reminding us that despite the decades that have passed since their tumultuous on-and-off relationship, the support remains strong.
The two Hollywood legends dated from 1973 to 1990, a whirlwind love story that featured both romance and scandal—the kind we can’t get enough of! Nicholson’s infidelities, including an unacknowledged child with another woman, often marred their relationship but didn’t easily extinguish their connection. Huston, now 73 and gearing up for a starring role in the BBC One series *Towards Zero*, has been candid about her feelings concerning their complicated history. She noted that while she “loved” Nicholson despite his flaws, she learned how to protect her heart during their intense years together. It’s both refreshing and relatable when Huston states, “I wasn’t a wilting flower,” and emphasizes that she held her own throughout their relationship.
Interestingly, Huston previously detailed the fiery breakup in her 2014 memoir, *Watch Me*, where she recalled a dramatic split scene, claiming she “beat him savagely about the head and shoulders.” Talk about a passionate exit! But isn’t that just classic Hollywood? Notably, Huston also opened up about her struggle with endometriosis, which left her feeling inadequate due to her inability to have children. It’s a poignant reminder of the personal trials that can color the glitzy surface of Hollywood romances.
Through all the ups and downs, it’s heartening to see that when the flames of disaster loom—literally—old flames can reunite, even if just through a phone call. As they navigate their separate paths, Huston and Nicholson remind us that true connections can withstand the test of time, or even wildfires.
