Two of Huston's first movies, Sinful Davey (1969) and A Walk with Love and Death (1969) were directed by her father. 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). It was her first win after eight nominations. She appeared in several films by Wes Anderson, starting with The Royal Tenenbaums (2001) and The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou (2004), as well as The Darjeeling Limited (2007).

In January 2008, Huston joined the cast of Medium at the start of its fourth season for a six-episode story arc. Her character is a missing persons investigator who employs the psychic abilities of Allison DuBois.

Stone was cast for a brief but memorable role in Allen's Stardust Memories (1980), and then had a speaking part a year later in the horror movie Deadly Blessing (1981). When French director Claude Lelouch saw Stone in Stardust Memories, he was so impressed that he cast her in Les Uns et Les Autres (1982). She was only on screen for two minutes and did not appear in the credits. Her next role was in Irreconcilable Differences (1984). Through the rest of the 1980s she appeared in Action Jackson (1988), King Solomon's Mines (1985) and Allan Quatermain and the Lost City of Gold (1987). She also played the wife of Steven Seagal's character in Above the Law (1988). She appeared in an episode of Magnum, P.I. titled "Echoes of the Mind", where she played a love interest of Thomas Magnum (1984).

Her appearance in Total Recall (1990) gave her's career a much-needed jolt. The role that made her a star was that of Catherine Tramell, a brilliant, bisexual serial killer in Basic Instinct (1992). Stone's stardom was such that she received top billing over Gene Hackman, Russell Crowe and Leonardo DiCaprio when cast as a gunslinger for 1995 western The Quick and the Dead.

In 1996, she received a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Dramatic Motion Picture for her role in Casino. She also earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress for the role. Stone starred opposite actress Ellen DeGeneres in the 2001 HBO movie If These Walls Could Talk 2. In 2003, she appeared in three episodes from the 8th season of The Practice. For her performances, she received an Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series.

Stone attempted a return to the mainstream with a role in the film Catwoman (2004); however, the film was a critical and commercial flop. After years of litigation, Basic Instinct 2: Risk Addiction was released on March 31, 2006. After earning $3,200,000 in its debut weekend, the movie was declared a bomb. Stone has said that she would love to direct and act in a third Basic Instinct film.

A subsequent film role came in the drama Alpha Dog. In February 2007, Stone found her role as a clinically depressed woman in her latest film, When a Man Falls in the Forest, strangely uplifting, as it challenged what she called "Prozac society".
