BIOGRAPHY: John Huston was a man of many interests - painting, boxing, sculpture, gambling, fox-hunting, etc. He had four children: Tony and Angelica (with Ricki Soma), Danny (with another woman), and Allegra (Ricki with another man, but Huston raised the girl after Ricki died in a car crash). Huston wrote a somewhat sanitized autobiography in 1980 (friends who read it said, "Good book, John - who's it about?").
TRIVIA:
- 'Clint Eastwood' (qv)'s movie _White Hunter Black Heart (1990)_ (qv) is about the making of Huston's movie _The African Queen (1951)_ (qv).
