A tongue of fire advances through the Hollywood hills. An area comparable to the city of Cáceres, the largest in Spain, had been devoured by the flames. 30 people had lost their lives and more than 200,000 had been evacuated. The barrels of car floods navigated blindly between the black and thick smoke lowered from the mountain. And then, a phone rang.
Who took it was the winner of an Oscar Anjelica Hustonand the voice that sounded on the other side, that of his ex -partner (and winner of three Oscar) Jack Nicholson. The New Jersey wanted to know if Anjelica, who was traveling in the inseparable company of his pets, had where to stay until the fire was extinguished. Otherwise, Jack Nicholson offered him his home. “It was very sweet,” Huston acknowledges in an interview. “His calls always reassure me. Next time, I will accept his invitation.”
How did Anjelica Huston and Jack Nicholson known?
The house that Anjelica left behind in January was, in reality, a 15 -hectare ranch at the foot of the Sierra Nevada Californiana. On the horizon, and when the day dawns clear, the high trunks of the Secuoyas National Park can be contemplated. The morning in which Anjelica Huston He made the bags to, perhaps, never return to the Flying Heart Ranch, the mountains and the trees lay under the smoke.
The actress usually refer to this place as “The ranch that bought the honor of the prizzi”, In reference to the film that gave him the golden statuette. Anjelica’s participation in this feature film was not explained because his father was the director, but because his boyfriend was Jack Nicholson: as a producer recognized the Californian, John Huston had hired her because she knew that having her was getting Jack Nicholson.

And, when finally the red caperuzas of the flowers began to open, Jack Nicholson brought a horticulturist to fill the bamboo garden. Thus they protected curious looks. But Anjelica wanted the roses.
This detail summarizes his relationship: Jack Nicholson, who came to give an elephant breeding to Anjelica for his birthday, displayed his sardonic smile when he proposed marriage. The actress, mortified for her inability to get pregnant, received the news that Jack Nicholson expected a son. The mother was any waiter, of any dinner, whom Nicholson had seen on a couple of occasions. Consequently, Anjelica left her home and left for the ranch.
Days later, a messenger knocked on his door and handed him a diamond bracelet that had belonged to Ava Gardner. Who signed the letter was not Frank Sinatra, but Jack Nicholson. Only four words: “Your jack, your pig”.
If the impossible roses describe 20 years, the bracelet summarizes the following 30: Jack and Anjelica never lost contact and saw each other frequently.
