The daughter of acclaimed director John (whose father was actor Walter), Huston boasts a long list of achievements that include being the first third-generation Oscar winner. Born July 8, 1951, in Los Angeles, Huston was 18 when her father first cast her in a film, but she withdrew from acting after her mother's untimely death.In the early '70s, Huston reappeared in some unmemorable roles; after surviving a serious car crash, she took stock and began to hone her acting skills.
