Anjelica Huston has shared her experience of battling cancer after being “in the clear” for four years.
The 73-year-old actress did not disclose the type of cancer she had battled.
“I’m at the four-year mark, and that means so much to me,” “The Grifters” star said. “It’s a fantastic thing. I’m very proud of myself, and I’ve been very lucky. My doctors have been wonderful.”

Huston’s cancer diagnosis came in 2019 after finishing “John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum.”
“That was a very serious moment for me,” she shared. “I managed to survive it, and I’m proud of myself.”
“It’s not something that came lightly,” Huston added. “It came as a big shock, but it made me conscious of what I shouldn’t do, of places I shouldn’t go. One of those places was taking life too seriously. So now, when the opportunity arises, I laugh, and I try not to make a big deal out of things.”

While keeping her cancer battle private, Huston aimed to inspire others by sharing parts of her story.
“Sometimes you feel like you don’t want to talk about it for the obvious reasons, but there’s a lot to be said for talking about it and getting it out there and celebrating the fact that one’s come through,” “The Witches” star said.
“Life is tenuous and wonderful. It also gives you the idea that the world is big, and you can somehow match up to it. That you’re ready for whatever happens.”
