Anjelica Huston: ‘Nicolas Roeg Was Unlike Anyone Else’

Nicolas Roeg was unlike anyone else, and a genius at what he did. A lot of directors leave you to your own devices, but when we worked together on The Witches, Nic--who died at 90 on Nov. 23--knew exactly what he wanted. It hadn't occurred to me that a witch in a children's movie should be sexy. Nic's attitude was "Whyever not?" An adult who could dream like a child, he had no tolerance for propriety and dull stuff like that.

And I always remember his encouragement.
