same year-Sinful
Davey (also directed by her dad) and
Hamlet-before
vanishing from the screen for many years and appearing only sporadically for
many years after that. She surprised everybodycritics, audiences, movie-industry
typeswith her sly performance in 1985's brilliant black comedy
Prizzi's
Honor (again, directed by her father), which
won her a Best Supporting Actress Oscar. Since then she's limned many fine
characters in a string of meritorious movies with varying box-office success.
She earned additional Academy Award nominations as Ron Silver's long-lost wife
in
Enemies,
A Love
Story (1989) and as John Cusack's amoral mom in
The
Grifters (1990).
Huston was perfectly cast as the sinister but svelte Morticia Addams in
The
Addams Family (1991) and its 1993 sequel,
Addams Family Values
She teamed up with Jack Nicholson for
The
Crossing Guard (1995). As if to prove she could
play women of a non-exotic nature as well, she starred in the outstanding 1993
miniseries "Family Pictures," following a woman's life over several decades
through her relationship with her husband and children. In truth, Huston has
little to prove; she has become one of the screen's finest, most original
actresses.
