Veteran actress Anjelica Huston is set to be honored at the 21st Galway Film Fleadh. The Oscar Award-winning star will be presented with the inaugural Galway Hooker award, named after the famous local fishing boat.
The festival spokesperson, Felim MacDermott said, "It is very fitting that Anjelica is our guest of hhonor in our 21st year, as in our very first Fleadh, in 1989, she featured with her father John in a documentary about the local Galway Blazeers hunt."
"Anjelica will also introduce some of her films, such as James Joyce's 'The Dead,' which was directed by her father, during a mini-retrospective of her work at the Fleadh."
The 57-year-old actress, who won an Academy Award for her performance in 1985's "Prizzi's Honor," will be participating in a public interview in the Town Hall Theater on July 12 so audience members can ask her questions.
