John Huston Fast Facts:
  • Dropped out of high school at age 15 and became a champion amateur lightweight boxer.
  • Served a short stint as a lieutenant in the Mexican army cavalry.
  • Made his big-screen directing debut in 1941 with the noir classic The Maltese Falcon.
  • Let There Be Light — a documentary about soldiers with post-traumatic stress that he filmed while serving in World War II — was confiscated by the U.S. Army in 1946. It wasn't screened publicly until 1981.
  • Directed both his father Walter Huston's and his daughter Anjelica Huston's Oscar-winning performances, in The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948) and Prizzi's Honor (1985), respectively.
  • While Sierra Madre was filming in Mexico, the government ordered that production shut down when a newspaper published word that the movie was anti-Mexican. Filming resumed after friends interceded on Huston's behalf, and the movie went on to win numerous awards.
  • Made six films with Humphrey Bogart: The Maltese Falcon (1941), Across the Pacific (1942), Key Largo (1948), The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948), The African Queen (1951) and Beat the Devil (1954).
  • An accomplished sculptor and painter, Huston created the label for the 1982 vintage of Chateau Mouton Rothschild.
  • With his daughter Anjelica's win for Prizzi's Honor in 1985, the Hustons became the first family with three generations of Oscar winners (he and his father, Walter, also won).
