Anjelica Houston

Anjelica Houston's role in Lonesome Dove just reminded me of something one ought not forget - that she's completely bad ass. Born a little a manish? Own it. Her combination of bizarre and brilliant is seemless. Don't believe me? You will. She's smart, strangely sexual, at times terrifying, and the only person that can pull off the name Anjelica.

Her role as Etheline Tenenbaum is enough to warrant her inaugural and exclusive membership in my cool bitch club. In fact, the single line of "Well, I don't understand. Did you pack your bags BEFORE you got locked out? " is basis alone.

Pair her with Roald Dahl in The Witches and creative history is made. Am I driving home my point yet? She allllmost looks like a female Lucifer, but somehow instead becomes a fashion icon. She got paid to dress up as Morticia Adams all day. She crafted an acclaimed and award winning career that allows her to pal around with Willem Defoe and Bill Murray all day. She was in a long term relationship with JACK NICHOLSON for christsake!!

Anjelica. You're doing something right. You may in fact be doing everything right. I salute you.
