Anjelica Huston Says Oprah Winfrey ‘Won’t Talk to Her’ since she beat her to a 1985 Oscar award
Anjelica Huston alleges that Oprah Winfrey holds a vendetta against her because she beat her to the best supporting actress Oscar in 1986.
Huston, 67, earned the prize for her appearance in Prizzi’s Honor, a film directed by her father John Huston and starring her then-boyfriend Jack Nicholson. For her work in Steven Spielberg’s The Color Purple, Winfrey, 65, was nominated alongside Huston.
“She never had me on her show, ever,” Anjelica told New York Magazine, “She won’t talk to me.”
Huston went on to tell about a day when she bumped into Winfrey. “The only encounter I’ve had with Oprah was when I was at a party for the Academy Awards, a private residence,” she said. “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.”
“Do you think it’s fair to say it’s because you beat her?” the reporter continued.

“Well, Nobody else would dislike me so much as to literally, physically come in between the person I was talking with that way,” she said.
Despite the encounter, Huston said, “But I admire Oprah. God knows, she’s made some big steps.”
In one of the rare times Winfrey has spoken publicly about her Oscar night in 1986, she admitted to having a wardrobe malfunction.
‘When I went to the Oscars, it was one of the most horrible nights of my life,’ she told Jimmy Kimmel in 2012.
At the time, Winfrey revealed, “I used Dolly Parton’s dressmaker. And he’d come over to [do] some fitting earlier in the day and then said, ‘I need to take it back.’”
‘When he brought it back, I didn’t try it on. So when I went to put it on half an hour before going to the Oscars, it didn’t fit.
‘I couldn’t get it up over my hips.
‘So my hairdresser… had to lay me on the floor and push my butt down and zip and so I rode to the Oscars, really no exaggeration, planked in the back of a limousine.’
“I couldn’t sit in the chair, I was like this the whole time,” she said, holding her body rigidly. “And I had this really heavy beaded collar, so when I sat back, the collar choked me, so I sat the whole night holding on to the collar.”
It was excruciatingly difficult to wear the gown, Winfrey said. “I was praying for someone else to win, ’cause I knew I couldn’t get out of the chair.”
