What is Angelica Huston's net worth? Addams Family star's wealth and career explored as she opens up about her cancer journey

Angelica Huston, the Academy Award-winning actress known for her roles in The Addams Family and Prizzi's Honor, has a net worth of approximately $60 million, as reported by Celebrity Net Worth.

Huston, 73, recently revealed in an exclusive People interview, published on April 9, that she quietly battled cancer following the release of John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum in 2019. Now four years cancer-free, she shared her experience publicly for the first time.

During a phone interview from her ranch near the Sierra Nevada mountains, Huston reflected on the moment she learned of her diagnosis.

"That was a very serious moment for me," she said. "I managed to survive it, and I'm proud of myself," she added.

While Huston has chosen to keep the type of cancer private, she described the experience as a life-altering shock that changed her outlook. Angelica Huston said the experience made her more aware of what to avoid in life, including taking things too seriously. She said the diagnosis forced her to slow down and find peace in small joys.

"So now when the opportunity arises, I laugh, and I try not to make a big deal out of things," she said.

After keeping her battle private for six years, she said she felt ready to talk about it. Huston expressed that openly discussing her cancer journey and celebrating her recovery was important to her. She reflected on how life is fragile yet beautiful and said the experience gave her a sense that the world is vast, but she could still find her place in it.
