Best of Q: Anjelica Huston on her cinematic childhood

Best of Q: Jian speaks to Anjelica Huston about her new book A Story Lately Told: Coming of Age in Ireland, London and New York.

Anjelica Huston has played many fascinating roles on the silver screen -- Morticia in The Addams Family, Etheline in The Royal Tenenbaums, Eleanor Zissou in The Life Aquatic -- but her real life story also has a movie-like quality.

In an interview from the Best of Q, Huston joins Jian in studio to discuss her memoir, A Story Lately Told, in which she describes a parade of fascinating characters passing through her family's palatial estate. But despite the many people who surrounded her, Huston recalls often feeling lonely.

Huston also speaks with Jian about what it means to be part of three generations of Academy Award winners, joining ranks with her grandfather, actor Walter Huston, and her father, John Huston.
