One of my favorites from the archives.
Huston was born in London, the love child of a widely adored ballerina and the 2nd Viscount Norwich. When she was four, she lost her mother in an auto accident and was sent to Ireland to live with her mother’s estranged husband, the acclaimed, eccentric and intimidating film director John Huston. (The African Queen, Casino Royale, Prizzi’s Honor….)
“I was a motherless girl who never quite felt like I really belonged, a younger sister trying to find sense of self in the shadow of beauty and fame.” FYI: Her older half-sister is the actor and director Anjelica Huston.
Salmon Rushdie calls the book: “An exceptional telling of an extraordinary life. I loved it.”
Allegra Huston now lives in Taos, New Mexico, and is the co-founder of Imaginative Storm Writing Workshops. www.allegrahuston.com
