Anjelica Huston has some things to get off of her chest!
The Transparent actress recently sat down for an intimate Q&A with Vulture‘s Andrew Goldman, and opened up about her life, career and relationships — past and present — including her latest stint on the big screen opposite Keanu Reeves in the thriller John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum.
But we don’t think anyone expected the 67-year-old to throw caution to the wind and straight up call out some of Hollywood’s best …like Oprah Winfrey and Bill Murray!

As many of you know, Huston comes from a long family line of Hollywood directors, actors, and Academy Award winners. She spent some time reflecting on what it was like to grow up as the daughter of famed movie director, John Huston, and takes an honest look back on her time with ex-husband Jack Nicholson, to whom she was married to for 17 years.
But we know you guys came for the real tea, so here it is!
Huston claims that she and Oprah never had any beef, until after she won the Oscar for Prizzi’s Honor the same year Winfrey was nominated for The Color Purple. Anjelica says that she felt what she believes to be “repercussions” of achieving that high honor instead of her peer, for years to come:
“She never had me on her show, ever. She won’t talk to me.”
The famed actress went on to explain the only run-in she’s ever had with the TV host, was at a private party following the show:
“The only encounter I’ve had with Oprah was when I was at a party for the Academy Awards, a private residence. 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 why the normally classy Winfrey behaved that way, Huston candidly calls it how she perceived it:
“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.”
Oooh, burn!! That sounds pretty deliberate if you ask us.
Anjelica also claimed that 68-year-old Bill Murray was kind of a jerk to her when they worked together on the 2004 film, The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou. She dishes:
“He was a sh*t to me on ‘Life Aquatic.’ 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 also claimed to have 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.
Wow. Way to tell us how you really feel, Anjelica! We’re not sure what prompted her to spill this tea out of nowhere now, but we sure are sipping it up…
As for her own endeavors, Huston says she’s excited to keep working at this stage in her life and is more selective about her own moves at this stage in her career. On doing John Wick 3, she explained:
“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. 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.”
