Anjelica Huston has torn into several notable Hollywood figures, including Robert De Niro and Diane Keaton, in a brand new interview. The Oscar-winning actor, who stars in John Wick: Chapter 3, refused to hold back when questioned about her views on the current state of her fellow actors' careers by Vulture. She took aim at others after being asked why her Prizzi's Honor co-star and ex-husband Jack Nicholson doesn't make films anymore. “If he’s not being offered anything as delicious as he has done in his past, why would he?" she said. "He has enough money to live three lifetimes more, and particularly in the way that he lives; he doesn’t go out and spend tons of money buying fur coats for girls. I don’t even know if he buys art anymore. Also in terms of the work that’s out there, what are they going to give him, The Bucket List? That's an insult." She added, referencing De Niro: “I don’t want to see Jack [Nicholson] doing Meet the Fockers.” 45 films you never realised were banned Show all 46 1 /46 45 films you never realised were banned 45 films you never realised were banned 45 films you never knew realised were banned Click through the gallery 45 films you never realised were banned All Quiet on the Western Front (1930) The ban on All Quiet on the Western Front (1930) was ordered in Germany by Adolf Hitler himself who disliked its anti-war message.

(Dia Dipasupil/Getty Images) Anjelica Huston Rips Robert de Niro, Diane Keaton in Interview Longtime actress Anjelica Huston slammed Robert de Niro and Diane Keaton for their recent work. In an interview with New York Magazine, the “Addams Family” star said she is only interested in taking film roles that “aren’t apologetically humble or humiliating like ‘Band of cheerleaders gets back together for one last hurrah.’” She was making a reference to Keaton’s upcoming film, “Poms,” which apparently features that plot device. Huston said that other Hollywood luminaries such as de Niro are taking lesser roles to make money. In 2016, de Niro appeared in “Dirty Grandpa” alongside Zac Efron. “Although, how big can this nut be?” she asked of De Niro. “I guess he has maybe a couple of ex-wives, right? Not many, but what does this fellow spend his money on? He’s got Nobu. He’s got the Tribeca Film Festival—he’s not spending the film money on that.” According to Yahoo News, de Niro has built a business empire worth approximately $1 billion via his Nobu Hospitality company and has a net worth of over $300 million. Huston added, “I don’t want to see Jack [Nicholson] doing ‘Meet the Fockers.’” Al Pacino “does some schlock,” but he’s “ more experimental,” she said. Keaton, de Niro, and Pacino all appeared in “The Godfather Part II.” She also spoke about Oprah Winfrey, Huston saying, “She never had me on her show, ever. She won’t talk to me.” “The only encounter I’ve had with Oprah was when I was at a party for the Academy Awards, (at) a private residence. I was talking to Clint Eastwood, and she literally came between us with her back to me. So all of (a) sudden, I was confronted with the back of Oprah’s head,” she also said. Huston took home an Oscar award for “Prizzi’s Honor,” which was the same year Winfrey received a nomination for her role in the “The Color Purple.” Notable Celebrity Deaths in 2019 John Singleton Nipsey Hussle Luke Perry Peter Tork Albert Finney James Ingram Longtime R&B singer James Ingram died in late January. Quincy Jones, a collaborator of his, wrote, “With that soulful, whisky sounding voice, James Ingram was simply magical … every beautiful note that James sang pierced your essence and comfortably made itself at home.” Fatima Ali “Top Chef” alum Fatima Ali died on Jan. 25, after a battle with terminal cancer. She was 29. Former “Top Chef” contestant Bruce Kalman paid tribute to her: “It’s with a heavy heart we say goodbye to Fatima Ali today, as she has lost her battle with cancer,” he wrote.

Getty Huston claims Oprah shut her out after beating her for an Oscar win. Anjelica Huston did not hold back in a new interview with Vulture, taking aim at some of the biggest names in Hollywood with shocking candor. While she defended Jeffrey Tambor and Woody Allen -- who have been accused of sexual misconduct -- in the interview, Huston called out the behavior of stars including Oprah Winfrey, Bill Murray and Eddie Murphy. According to Huston, Oprah has a problem with her after she won the Oscar for "Prizzi's Honor" the same year Winfrey was nominated for "The Color Purple." When asked about the "repercussions" of beating O, Huston said, "She never had me on her show, ever. She won't talk to me." "The only encounter I've had with Oprah was when I was at a party for the Academy Awards, a private residence," she continued. "I was talking to Clint Eastwood, and she literally came between us with her back to me. So all of the sudden I was confronted with the back of Oprah's head." When asked if she specifically thought Winfrey acted like that because Huston beat her, she replied, "Well, nobody else would dislike me so much as to literally, physically come in between the person I was talking with that way. But I admire Oprah. God knows, she's made some big steps." Huston also addressed reports Eddie Murphy can be a bit of a diva, as she was asked whether it's true he asks everyone to arrive on set before him. "You'd be waiting for over 15 minutes in a California summer, so you're not appetizing by the time you get on-camera," she explained. "Maybe he didn't recognize that factor. So I requested to at least know when he was traveling to set. His reply, through the grapevine, was 'Ladies first.' Frankly, a lot of male movie stars behave in an offhand manner, like they're just more important than you are." Another actor she claims gave her grief: Billy Murray. "He was a shit to me on 'Life Aquatic,'" Huston claimed. "The first week I was there, we were all in this little hotel, and he invited the entire cast to go and have dinner, except me. And everyone came down for dinner, a little dog-faced about my not being invited, and they were all like, 'Oh, you know, we don't really want to go.' That was worse than anything." She said she later called him out on his behavior and he's been "a little nicer" to her since, adding that he was one of the few who attended husband Robert Graham's funeral. Huston, who stars in "John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum," also couldn't resist throwing a little shade at another movie opening this month during the interview, after she was asked about the type of films she's drawn to at this stage in her career. "I'm looking for movies that impress me in some way, that aren't apologetically humble or humiliating like, 'Band of cheerleaders gets back together for one last hurrah,' you know. An old-lady cheerleader movie,'" she said. "I don't like that kind of thing. If I'm going to be an old lady — and I'm sort of touching old lady these days — at least I want to be a special old lady. I don't want to be relegated to some has-been making a comeback. I hate comebacks." Diane Keaton's "Poms" opens May 10, "John Wick" hits theaters May 17.
