What about her work in Huston's "The Dead"? I found it very convincing. Also her work in Allen's "Crimes and Misdemeanors".
Follow Ups:
The last scene in The Dead is heartbrealing.Although I haven't seen it for years, I enjoyed Prizzi's Honor, both for its dark humor and AH's performance.
Houston's strong features may not be conventionally beautiful, but I certainly don't find her in the least "ugly" or unattractive and I think she's a fine actress.
In fact, I thought Houston should've gotten another Oscar for The Grifters - her portrayal of Lilly Dilloon was devastating.
I first saw Angelica Huston in the early 70s when her first movie ran on the CBS Late Night at the Movies show. It was directed by her father John and was about the Hundred Years War in England. Can't remember the title off the top of my head but I liked her very much.She didn't impress me with anything she did after that until "Prizzi's Honor." Remember that great scene with her father?
"He took me. And we did it. Right here on the floor." I can still hear that accent!I think she's been great ever since. "The Grifters," "The Dead"...wonderful performances!
A wonderful film indeed.Regards
Although they came in handy in "The Grifters".
