Anjelica Huston Reveals Shocking Call from Jack Nicholson During Wildfire

During a terrifying situation, Anjelica Huston received an unexpected call.

According to an actress from the Addams Family series, her former partner Jack Nicholson – whom she was in a relationship with for 17 years until 1990 – contacted her during a time when she was evacuating due to a wildfire that had started near her residence in Los Angeles.

Huston seldom discusses her past relationship with Nicholson in public. However, she did detail their romance in her 2014 memoir titled Watch Me. In the book, she reveals that they first crossed paths in 1973 and he affectionately called her “Fab,” “Toot,” and “Mine.

She shared details about one of their early dates that occurred at the now-demolished Hollywood Park race track. During this outing, she pointed out that he was dressed in a striking cream wool suit adorned with an American flag on rhinestones near his lapel, but faced some teasing at the entrance to the grandstand because he wasn’t wearing a tie. She mentioned that he handed her $50 as betting money, and she later returned it to him after securing a win of $67.

Every time we embarked on a journey, it felt like a dream come true. For me, the first glimpse of Las Vegas was nothing short of magical – peering out from the open window of a luxurious limo, alongside my cherished companion, Jack.

In films like “The Postman Always Rings Twice” and “Prizzi’s Honor,” these two often worked together. Notably, “Prizzi’s Honor” was the movie that earned Huston her initial Oscar award in 1986. During this ceremony, Nicholson stood by her side as she received the Best Supporting Actress accolade. Interestingly, a decade earlier, it was Nicholson who had accompanied Huston to the 1976 Academy Awards, where he won his first Oscar for “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.

In an interview with The Guardian on February 21st, Huston stated that he was traveling with three dogs, two cats, and a housekeeper at the time. He then shared that someone contacted him to ask if everything was okay, and if he had somewhere to stay.

In simpler terms, the 73-year-old said, “When things get tough, he stands by me.

According to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, Huston’s house miraculously escaped damage during the Palisades Fire that broke out on January 7 and devastated over 6,500 structures, including houses very near hers.

Huston stated that her house nearly caught fire, barely escaping the flames,” he continued, mentioning that she has relocated to her rural property, which is more commonly known as a ranch.

Huston dated Nicholson, 87, for 17 years until 1990 and have kept in touch since their breakup.

She expressed that she cared deeply for him, and in the context of her life at the time, it wasn’t seen as disrespectful. It was simply a part of who he was, and it didn’t involve personal harm. Once she realized this, she felt safe. It didn’t bring joy, but she understood the situation clearly.

In her 2014 memoir titled “Watch Me,” the actress shared that she ended her relationship with Nicholson when he confessed to having fathered a child with another woman. Two years following their separation, Huston tied the knot with sculptor Robert Graham in 1992. Tragically, Graham passed away in 2008 at the age of 70 after battling a prolonged illness.

Two years later, in 1992, Huston wed sculptor Robert Graham. Tragically, he passed away in 2008 at the age of 70, after a prolonged illness.

Huston infrequently discusses her lengthy romance with the actor in public media, but she did delve into their relationship in her memoirs. In her book Watch Me, she revealed they initially crossed paths in 1973, and he even bestowed upon her several affectionate nicknames such as “Fab,” “Toot,” and “Mine.

On one of their initial outings, she recounted how it occurred at the now-defunct Hollywood Park racecourse, remarking that he donned a striking cream wool suit adorned with an American flag embellished in rhinestones on his lapel. She mentioned that he faced some trouble at the entrance to the grandstand for not sporting a tie. She further added that he provided her $50 for betting, but she later repaid him after they won $67 together.

On numerous occasions, they embarked on adventures together. One time, as recorded by Angelica, she caught her first glimpse of Las Vegas from an open limo window, accompanied by Jack.

In 2013, a reunion between Huston and the actor took place at a party commemorating the launch of her 2013 memoir titled “A Story Lately Told”.

In the book, I expressed that Jack is an individual whose presence enriches my life. Frankly speaking, I can’t imagine my life without him bringing his positive energy and companionship into it.
