Lecture
Hooray for Hollywood The Huston Film Family Chronicle
Part One
Rick Harris, lecturer
The Huston family of actors, writers and directors have been at the forefront of American cinema for over 75 years. In the first two Hooray for Hollywood programs of the season, you’ll learn about patriarch Walter Huston, the rugged and prolific character actor whose filmography stretches from the early days of sound to the glory days of the MGM musical, his son John who began as a sought-after screenwriter before embarking on a distinguished and tumultuous career as an award-winning director, and his daughter, Anjelica, who continued the family’s remarkable tradition — directing and acting in celebrated films such as Prizzi’s Honor, The Royal Tenenbaums and more.
This presentation is part of Rick Harris' Hooray for Hollywood series.
