It's nice to play the character that uplifts the proceedings 
Since her Oscar-winning breakthrough in 1985 in her father John's mafia drama Prizzi's Honor, Anjelica Huston has gone on to prove that she's certainly no daddy's girl. She exuded glamour and brains in Woody Allen's Crimes And Misdemeanours and Manhattan Murder Mystery respectively, perfected an Irish accent in The Grifters and made little 'uns scream with fear - and delight - as the chief child-hater in The Witches and as the sexily gothic matriarch of The Addams Family. Most recently she's headed up two other family units in Wes Anderson's The Royal Tenenbaums and The Life Aquatic and gone behind the camera to direct three films herself. In her latest film, period pic These Foolish Things, she has all kinds of fun as an American millionaress funding plays in the British theatrical scene of the 30s.
