A Story Lately Told. Anjelica Huston (First Edition Paperback) 2013

 A STORY LATELY TOLD: Coming of Age in Ireland, London and New York by Anjelica Huston.

Writing with an exuberant love of language and detail, Anjelica Huston shares her enchanted childhood in Ireland, her teen years in London, and her coming-of-age as a model and nascent actress in New York.

Living with her glamorous and artistic mother, Huston was raised on an Irish estate to which - between films - her father brought his array of extraordinary friends, from Carson McCullers and John Steinbeck to Peter O'Toole and Marlon Brando. Every morning, Anjelica and her brother visited their father while he took his breakfast in bed. 'What news?' he'd ask. 'I'd seen him the night before.' Anjelica recalls. 'There wasn't much to report.' So she became a storyteller.

She moves to London in the early Sixties, where she lives with her mother and brother when her parents seperate. Seventee, striking, precocious, but still young and vulnerable, she is devastated when her mother dies in a car crash.

Months later she moves to New York and becomes a model, navigating the dynamic cultural epicentre of New York in the seventies.

A STORY LATELY TOLD ends as Huston launches her Hollywood life. The second part of her story - WATCH ME - opens in Los Angeles in 1973 and will be published in Autumn 2014.

A FIRST EDITION paperback published in 2013 by Simon & Schuster.
