The ten-time Oscar-nominated director was an eccentric rebel of epic proportions; a Hollywood titan who reigned supreme as director, screenwriter and character actor in a career that endured over five decades. His iconic films include The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, Chinatown, The Maltese Falcon and so many more.

Fun Fact

The Huston Family film dynasty includes his father, Walter, who appeared in several of John’s finest films, as did John’s daughter Anjelica, and John’s son, Tony, wrote or co-wrote several of his father’s late films. With John’s other son, Danny, now regarded as one of cinema’s finest character actors, the Hustons have arguably become Hollywood’s greatest family dynasty, far outliving some of their early rivals, such as the Barrymores.
