The Prizzi’s Honor star, Angelica Huston, has faced numerous health scares throughout her life. Despite these challenges, she has managed to overcome them with strength and resilience. Huston, who was once in a relationship with Jack Nicholson, opened up about a dark period in her life in her 2013 autobiography, A Story Lately Told: Coming of Age in Ireland, London and New York.

In the book, she revealed a harrowing experience from her youth when she attempted to take her own life out of desperation in a tumultuous relationship. At just 18 years old, she met photographer Bob Richardson, who was 42 at the time. Their relationship was plagued by Richardson’s struggles with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, making their romance incredibly challenging.

Huston bravely shared, “I never felt so fragile or vulnerable as when Bob became demonic and flew into a rage, or worse, when afterward he retreated into his shell.” The intense emotional turmoil eventually led her to a breaking point. One morning, amidst a particularly difficult episode, she resorted to self-harm as a cry for love and attention.

She recounted the moment she took a razor blade to her wrist in a desperate plea for affection, saying, “I ran back into the bedroom, blood spurting from the vein, crying to him, ‘Will this make you love me?'” This heartbreaking incident sheds light on the profound pain and suffering she endured during that tumultuous period of her life.

Despite the challenges she has faced, Angelica Huston’s story is a testament to her resilience and strength. She has navigated through dark times and emerged stronger on the other side. Her candid revelations in her autobiography offer a glimpse into the complexities of human relationships and the struggles that come with mental health issues.
