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).
