Oscar's winner, Anjelica Huston, sings her own praise, and rightly so. The “Addams family” and the “witches” veterans revealed this week that it is a survivor of cancer.
“I managed to survive and I am proud of myself,” she told people in a interview Posted Wednesday.
The 73 year old man “The honor of Prizzi” isR became frank on her private cancer career, which, she said, began in 2019. Huston said she was diagnosed with a form of unknown cancer after her film “John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum” was presented in May 2019. “It was a very serious moment for me,” she recalls with people.
Huston said that learning her diagnosis had shocked her and made her aware of “what I shouldn't do, places that I shouldn't go”. Although she did not enter too much details on her treatment, Huston said that her cancer battle had discouraged her from taking life too seriously and that she was now “clear”.
Huston also did not disclose much about the treatment she received, but said that her condition had encouraged her to “try not to make a big problem of things”. Six years since her diagnosis, Huston has told people she had been without cancer for years.
“I'm at four years old, and it means so much for me,” she said. “It's a fantastic thing. I am very proud of myself and I was very lucky. ”
Huston, whose prolific career in cinema and television began in the late 1960s, said that she had recently appreciated her time to feel the roses – literally. When she learned, she was without cancer, the star of “Grifters” said that she had taken advantage of a walk in her garden “and felt the roses and thought how smart”.
Huston, whose father was the high -level director of the “Maltese Falcon” and “African Queen” John Huston, said that she obtained regular analyzes and that “wonderful” doctors helped her.
His father made “Prizzi's Honor”, the 1985 film which earned him the actor of support Oscar in 1986. He died a year later.
“My father always said that the important thing was the interest,” Huston said to Times in May 2019. “I have a number of interests and they are not all about acting.” It is not known if she had received her diagnosis at that time.
The actor of the “Addams family” spoke of his career on cancer and raised the shoulders of retirement while promoting the BBC mini-series “to Zero”, the last add to his acting career. The three -part show is an adaptation of Agatha Christie's novel in 1944 of the same name and presents Huston as a widow to bed.
The actor “Royal Tenenbaums” and “Lonesome Dove” admitted that it can be difficult to talk about his battle against cancer “for the obvious reasons”, but in the end, “there is a lot to say to talk about it and spread it and celebrate the fact that it has succeeded”.
“Life is tenuous and wonderful. It also gives you the idea that the world is great and that you can somehow match it,” she added. “That you are ready for everything that is going on.”
