John Marcellus Huston was born in Nevada, Missouri on August 5, 1906. He was the son of Rhea Gore, a sports editor, and Walter Huston, a vaudevillian who frequently went from theatre to film and back again. In fact, filmmaking was a family affair for the Hustons, and Walter ended up acting in a handful of his son's films. Needpix
When Huston was six, an event occurred that would shape the rest of his life: his parents divorced. While many children have to deal with the trauma of a split, it was particularly difficult for the young John. Without his parents together, he spent much of his childhood growing up in boarding schools, all alone. And that wasn't even the worst cons...
Huston had a complicated relationship with his mother, and it had a little-known dark side. According to many who knew him, Huston was unhealthily obsessed with Rhea. As actress Olivia de Havilland put it, "She was the central character...He seemed pursued by something destructive. If it wasn't his mother, it was his idea of his mother." As we'll s...
Huston's childhood got even worse after his parent's divorce. As a young boy, he had many serious ailments, including malfunctioning kidneys and an enlarged heart. In a move that probably only strengthened his bond to mommie dearest, he moved in permanently with Rhea and had to stay bedridden for much of his youth. Piqsels
Huston lived at least a dozen lives before he turned 20. By the time he was 15, he dropped out of school to become—get this—an amateur lightweight boxer. Perhaps even more surprisingly, he was really good at it, and was at the top of his league and weight in California. He wasn't quite in it for the long haul, though: He quit after he broke his nos...
Everyone makes mistakes, but Huston's flub on his first film set The Maltese Falconwas a doozy. On his first day as director, he watched his actors get into place, wait around, and then look at him expectantly. Apparently, Huston's more experienced assistant had to whisper into the newbie director's ear, "Say Action." Piqsels
Even at the height of his career, Huston was in the grips of a ruinous habit. While filming The Misfits with Clark Gable and Marilyn Monroein Nevada, Huston's gambling addiction got the better of him and nearly tanked the film. It was so bad, Huston even demanded that the studio give him $50,000 in "gambling allowance"...and proceeded to run absolu...
On the set of The Misfits, Huston went out at all hours to the casinos, and slept in late even when there were scenes to shoot. One day, when the casino had a power outage, Huston even ordered his crew to bring the set's backup generators so he could keep playing. Everyone, even known party animal Clark Gable, was reportedly disgusted with his beha...
When Huston filmed The African Queen, most of the crew got horrifically sick from drinking the local African water, but Huston and his lead Humphrey Bogart were mysteriously spared. That's because they'd come up with an ingenious plan. Instead of water, the pair imported scotch whiskey onto the set, and spent the entire time gulping down the booze....
Huston was infamous for his practical jokes on and off sets, and he once played a cruel trick on his own father. Papa Walter had a cameo in The Maltese Falcon, and after Walter wrapped, Huston recruited his lead actress Mary Astor to pose as a studio secretary, call up Walter, and inform him that the producers hated his performance. This? Did not g...
