Although he disapproved of her ambitions to act, Anjelica received crucial but hurtful reviews for her performances. She appeared in only a few films over the next decade, moving to United States and pursuing a successful career in modeling. Huston would again retreat to familiar roots, taking on small roles in films in the early 1980s; The Postman Always Rings Twice (1981) and Frances (1982). Huston would also appear in television series, Laverne & Shirley and Faerie Tale Theatre. After taking on several small but prominent roles in both film and in television, Huston landed her big role, winning an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role as Maerose Prizzi in Prizzi's Honor (1985. Huston collaborated with her father again in The Dead, a film for which she was awarded an Independent Spirit Award. She was nominated for another Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Enemies, a Love Story (1989) and another for Best Actress in a Leading Role in The Grifters (1990). She received three Saturn Award nominations for one of her most memorable roles, The Grand High Witch in The Witches (1990). Later she received nominations for her role as Morticia Addams in Addams Family Values (1993) and for her role in Ever After (1998). Over the years, Huston received five Emmy Award nominations for her television work. She won a Golden Globe Award for Supporting Actress in a TV Program for Iron Jawed Angels (2004).

Her next two movies were also based on musicals, Jerry Herman's Hello, Dolly!

Her second Academy Award was for Best Original Song as composer of the song "Evergreen", from A Star Is Born (1976); this was the first time a woman had received this award. But after the disappointment of All Night Long in 1981, Streisand's film output decreased considerably. She has only acted in five films since. In 2004, Streisand made a return to film acting, after an eight-year hiatus, in the comedy Meet the Fockers (a sequel to Meet the Parents), playing opposite Dustin Hoffman, Ben Stiller, Blythe Danner and Robert De Niro. Streisand has made only 17 films in her 40 year movie career, this however hasn't stopped her accumulative worldwide box office total being over 1.3 billion US Dollars. She is currently working on a film based on Simon Mawer's Mendel's Dwarf, having pruchased the option from Uzo, who had it shortly after the novel's publication. (wikipedia) 1.
