Quite Continental

Spirit animal.

The number of girlcrushes that fondly claim the lovely Anjelica Huston must number in the majillions.  I came to this realization after searching for images for this Style Icon post, and noticing the abundance of posts and the repetition of many well-loved photographs of Ms. Huston.  So here, I’ve tried to offer a few new images to the mix, pulled mostly from her career as a model in Vogue via youthquakers and from a collection shot by Life Magazine on the set of her first film, A Walk with Love and Death, in 1969 (she’s 18 in the photos).

I have always loved the versatility and originality that Anjelica embodies.  I love that she is a tall lady.  That she is darkly handsome in a non-conventional manner.  That she tends to make off-beat character choices.  That she gets even more beautiful as she gets older.  That she was involved with Jack Nicholson for over fifteen years.  That she is a third generation Oscar winner.  Ah, and her voice…
