The forum was hit very (very) hard by spambots this weekend, so I was forced to take drastic measures to get rid of the literally thousands of spam postings that were made. I cleaned house in a massive way.

I hope that I didn’t remove any actual forum users, their posts, or their passwords, but if so, I do apologize. I’ve also set the gallery so that each new user must be approved by an admin before they can post (this is mostly to preserve my sanity because I do not want to have to do this again). So if you have any trouble, need to re-register, or anything else, please email me, and I’ll get everything all squared away for you.

Academy Award-winning actor Anjelica Huston can’t stand cruelty to animals. “I simply won’t go on a set if I see an animal being abused,” she told PETA Senior Vice President Dan Mathews on the set of her latest project—a video for PETA about the use of great apes in the entertainment industry.

In the video—which PETA is sending to Hollywood film and TV producers and directors and to advertising agencies—Anjelica urges people in the entertainment industry not to use great apes in their work. “It’s a sad story that starts when the animals are babies, when they are torn away from their mothers and forced to depend upon human trainers,” says Anjelica. “Great ape mothers are fiercely protective of their newborns, which means that they must be tricked, sedated, or forcibly restrained when their infants are pulled from their arms. This cruel practice leaves lifelong emotional scars on both the mothers—who go into a deep depression—and the babies.”

In 2006 Anjelica Huston co-starred in an independent UK production called These Foolish Things. She played Lottie Osgood, a brash and stylish American millionairess who ends up backing the debut play by an up-and-coming playwright. The central story is a slightly cliche love triangle featuring an aspiring young actress, the aforementioned playwright, and the play’s eventual director but what makes These Foolish Things so compelling is the gorgeous edge-of-the-war-era setting and the acting contributions of the supporting cast of veterans comprised of Anjelica, the inimitable and fabulous Terence Stamp, and the legendary Lauren Bacall. Anjelica’s costumes are absolutely beautiful and her scenes with Terence Stamp - she as the bold rich American and he as the dryly witty British butler - are pure gold. These Foolish Things really is quite a charming film and worth a viewing if you haven’t yet seen it.

To tantalize you further, I’ve found an exclusive interview with Anjelica done at the time of These Foolish Things‘ release. In it she talks not only about the film but having fun with Terence Stamp, her relationship with Lauren Bacall, acting with her brother Danny, and shares recollections about her famous father John. It’s a wonderful read and can be found here on the Film Focus UK site.

Is That So Kid is a new book by renowned photographer David Bailey that features lavish photos of then-muse Anjelica Huston taken in 1973.

“His new book, Is That So Kid, records a year photographing the raven-haired goddess Anjelica Huston for Vogue; its title pays homage to her father, the Irish-American director John Huston and a habitual saying of his.”

The UK Times Online has an interview with the now 70 year old Bailey about Anjelica, models, muses, photography, and the book. It’s a fabulous read and features lovely offhand quotes about Anjelica. Read the whole interview here.
