A Story Lately Told

A Story Lately Told (2014) by Anjelica Huston. Huston, daughter of actor and director John Huston, and granddaughter of actor Walter Huston, has the distinction of being in the third generation to win an Oscar. Unfortunately, though she may be a good actress, she is not much of a writer. She tells her story in a scattershot, name-dropping style that makes it difficult to follow, and not all that interesting. Given what she had to work with, it is hard to imagine how she was able to make it less than fascinating, but that she has done. I managed to plow through this book, but I didn't enjoy it much, and I won't be making the effort to read the second half of her biography, due out later this year. Grade: C
