Huston won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her performance, making her the first person in Academy Award history to win an Oscar when a parent and a grandparent had also won one.

Huston earned a Best Actress Oscar nomination for her portrayal of an iron-willed con artist in Stephen Frears’ The Grifters (1990). She also starred as the lead in her father’s final directorial film, The Dead (1987), an adaptation of a James Joyce story.
