WWE had been a tight ship under the command of its former boss, Vincent Kennedy McMahon. He was very firm and strict with his dealings regarding running WWE, whether it was promo delivery, character control and activities of superstars outside the business. Moreover, McMahon also restrained his stars from associating with other promotions.

One particular instance led to a former WWE superstar losing his job. He, in some sense, betrayed the global juggernaut for a mere presence in Tna. Due to his actions, not only did he pay a hefty price, but he also felt the wrath of The Undertaker, who had some words for his actions.

“I wasn’t very happy when I was on that show,” she told People. “I was living in New York and I wasn’t very happy living in New York for the obvious reasons. It was a cold winter, and I didn’t feel very prized in that role. I was a bit depressed by it. It was hard really, I didn’t really have a good time making it.”

Anjelica was also still mourning the death of her husband Robert Graham, who died a few years before production started on Smash.

Anjelica Huston may have starred on the NBC musical series Smash, but she admits she didn’t feel happy on the show.

In an interview with People magazine, the actress reflected on starring alongside Katherine McPhee, Megan Hilty, Debra Messing and Jack Davenport on the TV show.

Huston played Broadway producer Eileen Rand during Smash‘s two seasons. The series was cancelled in 2013.

“I wasn’t very happy when I was on that show,” Huston told the publication. “I was living in New York and I wasn’t very happy living in New York for the obvious reasons. It was a cold winter, and I didn’t feel very prized in that role. I was a bit depressed by it. It was hard really; I didn’t really have a good time making it.”

While on the show Huston was also still mourning the loss of her husband of 16 years,...

Anjelica Huston revealed to People magazine that her ex Jack Nicholson called her out of the blue amid the L.A. wildfires earlier this year to offer his house for her to stay at. Huston was forced to evacuate her ranch in the Sierra Nevada mountain range during the event. Huston and Nicholson famously dated on and off from 1973 to 1990.

“The phone just rang out of nowhere, and it was him,” Huston said about Nicholson’s call during the wildfires. “It’s always a comfort when he calls… It was heartbreakingly sweet. I’ve gone back over it ­several times in my head, and I think next time I’d accept the invitation.”

Nicholson and Huston’s relationship came to definitive end in 1990 after he after he fathered a child outside of their relationship. She went on to marry the sculptor Robert Graham two years later. But she remained friendly...

The horror films of the 1950s are often relegated to two categories: space invaders and giant bugs. There is some truth in that generalization, but the reality is far more subtle with deep ties to the past along with the political climate of the decade itself. Both these categories can trace their lineage, at least in American film, back to two quintessential classics of the genre—Dracula and Frankenstein, but removed from spooky castles and unspecified European locales and placed squarely in the suburbs and cities of Cold War era America. Like Dracula, the alien invasion film examines the fear of “the other.” The so-called giant bug movies are really “science gone awry” movies and Frankenstein has been the template and ultimate expression of that idea since its publication in 1818. By the 1950s, the great scientific fear was nuclear power, specifically in the form of the atomic bomb and the...

"I've been unbelievably lucky to meet an extraordinary variety of people and also to travel between many spectrums - that’s always been fascinating to me," says Anjelica Huston, who has just published her second volume of memoir, Watch Me, the follow-up to last year's chronicle of her Irish childhood, A Story Lately Told. Her latest picks up when Huston is a newcomer to Hollywood; within pages she meets Jack Nicholson, with whom she had a 17-year on-and-off love affair. "Jack's easy to love," Huston, 63, tells People. "I was pretty determined that he should be mine for a considerable amount of time.

Anjelica Huston has always been attracted to 'bad boys'. The 60-year-old actress - who was married to sculptor Robert Graham for 16 years until his sudden death in December 2008 - dated photographer Bob Richardson, who was 23 years her senior, when she was a teenage model, and then had a 17-year tempestuous romance with Jack Nicholson and says the actor's edginess was his main appeal when they first met in 1973. Recalling meeting lothario Jack at a party, she said: 'I was invited by my then-stepmother Cici. The door opened and Jack's grinning face presented itself to me and I thought, 'Ah, I like you.' 'I was always attracted to bad boys, cool boys. Actors, musicians, those kinds of...

Anjelica Huston finds it easier to kiss on camera than in real life. The iconic actress - whose husband Robert Graham died in 2008 from a rare form of blood disease - admits it has been some time since she locked lips with a man but thinks it is part of her ''slow emergence'' from the grieving process. She said: ''I can [kiss] with impunity in front of 200 technicians and two million viewers. Personal kissing? One is tempted. It's part of my slow emergence. It may take a little while for the elements to catch up with me, but I hope...

Anjelica Huston walks like a queen through the Carlyle Hotel's restaurant. She's clearly comfortable in the old-world elegance of this Manhattan gem. Once she slides into a banquette, she laughs about having spent considerable time at the bar.

Huston orders eggs Benedict and cappuccino, then describes Eileen Rand, her character on NBC's Monday hit "Smash," as a "cross section of my favorite producers. The best of them, 75 percent of them, what they do is cover the bad news and tell you everything is great."

Savvy and cultured, Eileen is going through a divorce and keeps running into her annoying estranged husband. He's so condescending that this otherwise controlled woman often winds up flinging a drink on him.

"I'm the idiot savant of drink throwing," she says. "I would have started years ago if I knew how good I'd be. Somebody told me I did it in the '70s. Obviously...

Anjelica Huston has opened up about her husband's death in 2008, calling the tragedy "the hardest thing" she has ever experienced.

The actress' artist partner Robert Graham suffered a heart attack in the summer of 2008 and finally succumbed to illness in December that year.

The Addams Family star admits she felt helpless watching the sculptor struggle and was devastated when he passed away.

In a TV chat with Rosie O'Donnell on Piers Morgan Tonight, she recalls, "(His death) was fast and prolonged at the same time. He was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, which was a bad diagnosis... His body started to swell (on steroid drugs) and it was rather alarming for about four days. Actually it was the night of the Olympics on August the ninth, about three o'clock in the morning, he sprang up from the bed and (had a) full heart attack and kidney failure.

"I didn't know what was going on... He got through nine weeks in the hospital, and then came out and was in rehab and then came home... Then he just started to die and there seemed to be nothing that we could do, just to be there and hold his hand.

"At the end he asked me if he was dying and I said, 'No, of course not,' but I don't know. There's no guide book for these things. You have to do what's in your heart and what you feel is right. It's one of the hardest things I've ever been through... You can make peace with it maybe, and hope that you did the right thing but there's no way of knowing."

Huston then told O'Donnell, "He was very funny, a very subtle person. Loved you by the way, thought you were great," to which the comedienne replied, "Quite mutual... He was probably the most charming man I've ever known."...

Anjelica Huston has said that starring in the cancer-themed comedy 50/50 helped her grieve her husband's death. The actress, whose spouse Robert Graham Jr passed away in December 2008 after a long illness, explained that playing the mother of a cancer patient struck an emotional chord within her. Huston told Reuters: "I lost my husband a year before I made this movie. So it came from a deeply personal place. I took everything - all of my experience from the five months I spent with him in [intensive care] to day-to-day occurrences in the hospital - which was kind of ludicrous at the same time as being heartbreaking. "I think so much of what a caregiver does is to bring love and humor to a situation in which they have absolutely no power. That's what I was kind of channeling for [my character] Diane." Huston said that she did not sign on for 50/50 (more)...

Actress Anjelica Huston channelled the grief she felt from the death of her sculptor husband Robert Graham, Jr. into her role as the mother of a cancer sufferer for her new movie 50/50.

The Oscar winner plays Diane, the overbearing mum of Joseph Gordon-Levitt's character in the new comedy, about a man who uses his cancer diagnosis to win sympathy dates from female admirers.

Huston lost her husband to a longterm illness in December, 2008, shortly before she began filming 50/50, and she admits her personal troubles helped to make her portrayal more convincing.

She tells Reuters, "I lost my husband a year before I made this movie. So it came from a deeply personal place. I took everything - all of my experience from the five months I spent with him in (intensive care) to day-to-day occurrences in the hospital - which was kind of ludicrous at the same time as being heartbreaking.

"I didn't accept the role because it was cathartic, I accepted it because it really touched me. I fell in love with this woman who is going through this horrible ordeal, whose presence was suffocating to her son. I understood it from quite a few points of view, from his point of view as well as my own, and the character's..."...

Veteran actress Anjelica Huston signed up to star in her first full-time TV role to get her out of her house following the death of her husband in 2008.

The Witches star was at a loss after sculptor Robert Graham died and she admits she was tempted to while away her time behind closed doors.

But Huston, 60, decided to throw herself into her work and snapped up the chance to star as a theatre producer on forthcoming drama Smash, a behind-the-scenes look at the making of a Broadway musical.

She tells W magazine, "A few years ago, a TV show might have been unthinkable to me. But now, as a single person, I don't want to just sit in our house regretting what's passed. This feels like I'm embarking on a new chapter."

And Huston admits the role was perfect for her advancing age.

She says, "Television is where the great parts are for women my age. But I begged the writer to make my journey a pleasant one - since my life generally reflects my art."...

Autobiography expected to detail actor's relationships with her father, director John Huston, and ex-lover Jack Nicholson

Oscar-winning actor Anjelica Huston is to write a memoir that is expected to detail her often turbulent relationships with her father, film director John Huston, and former lover Jack Nicholson.

The Hollywood Reporter says Huston's book, which does not yet have a title, will be published in 2013. "My father once said that interest was the most important thing in the world, and he wasn't talking about money, but rather the infinite possibilities and choices and patterns we all have in life," said the star of The Royal Tenenbaums and The Grifters. "In this book, I want to look back at the landscapes that formed me – the exceptional highs and lows I have experienced."

Huston was involved in a relationship with Nicholson between 1973 and 1990. She famously became caught up in the fall-out from Roman Polanski...

Anjelica Houston is selling her Los Angeles home for $18 million. The "Addams Family" actress has put The Fortress, a warehouse-style property designed by her late husband, the sculptor Robert Graham situated in the trendy Venice Beach area of the U.S. city, on the market, almost 17 years after it was built.

Although the house is on the beach, has a pool and large grounds, there is only three bedrooms as much of the property has been given to a dance studio and exhibition gallery, where Robert made and stored his work. The property is close to the homes of Kate Beckinsale, Alec Baldwin and Francis Ford Coppola.

Anjelica, who was once the long-term girlfriend of Hollywood legend Jack Nicholson, has said she and Robert were inspired by the privacy of the Californian convent in which they spent their honeymoon in 1992, so they created The Fortress, which could keep out prying eyes.

Sharon Stone, Harrison Ford and Jack Nicholson were among the stars who turned out to pay their respects at the funeral of Californian sculptor Robert Graham, husband of Oscar-winning actress Anjelica Huston.
