Anjelica Huston
It can’t be easy for an aspiring actress to grow up in the shadow of one of the greatest American directors. Huston started slow with bit parts and cameos. She’s got a very distinctive look that serves her better now as a middle-aged woman than it did as an awkward young woman. Her acting style has always projected confidence. She’s always in high demand, and her recurring role as the anchoring matriarch in Wes Anderson’s recent films has exposed her to a younger audience than she might otherwise enjoy. She’s also acquitted herself ably as a director in her own right, most recently with the Irish family comedy/drama Agnes Brown. By restricting herself to smaller film roles, she’s been able to appear in a dozen productions in the last 5 years, making her our new female Brian Dennehy.

wes anderson sucks, not only that, your “antispam” filter also makes it very hard for the inebriated. And you forgot her role as the butler in the big screen version of “The Nanny”
