Anjelica Huston's life is better than yours. It just is. If this bothers you, then this isn't the memoir for you. She gets a ruby from her father when she catches the measles, because it matches her red spots; nearly half the book describes equestrian dramas, etc. The best part is that she is so utterly nonchalant about the whole thing, as if being John Huston's daughter is perfectly ordinary, because to her it was. She makes for a terrific narrator and I highly recommend the audio book version, with her lovely, lovely voice over. I'm really just reading this to get to the second volume, which details her life as a young actress in the 70s, but this has made for a really whimsical, enchanting detour.
