Anjelica Huston Reveals Cancer Diagnosis After 4 Years 'In The Clear'
HuffPost
The Oscar-winning actor shared Wednesday that she was diagnosed in 2019 and decided to keep her condition private until now.
Anjelica Huston is opening up for the very first time about living with cancer.
The Oscar-winning actor told People in an interview Wednesday that she was diagnosed in 2019 following the release of “John Wick: Chapter 3 — Parabellum.” Huston didn’t disclose the type of cancer, but recalled the overwhelming gravity of first receiving her diagnosis.
“That was a very serious moment for me,” she told the outlet. “I managed to survive it, and I’m proud of myself. It’s not something that came lightly. It came as a big shock, but it made me conscious of what I shouldn’t do, of places I shouldn’t go.”
“One of those places was taking life too seriously,” the 73-year-old continued.
Huston, who spoke with People over the phone from her California ranch near the Sierra Nevada mountains, said the health scare has completely changed her outlook: She’s now determined “not to make a big deal” out of minor problems and laughs whenever she can.
