Los Angeles wildfires.“I was in a car with three dogs, two cats, and the housekeeper, and he called and asked if I was all right, and if I had someplace I was staying,” Huston, 73, said about Nicholson, 87, in an interview with The Guardian published Friday.“That’s the bottom line with he and I – when the chips are down, he’s there,” she added.Huston also gave an update on her home. “My house almost burned down,” she said. “It came very, very close.

My electricity and water and power are still off, but we were safe.”The “Addams Family” actress dated Nicholson on-and-off from 1973 to 1990, during which they co-starred in the films “Prizzi’s Honor,” “The Last Tycoon” and “The Postman Always Rings Twice.”Nicholson was unfaithful to Huston during their relationship.

They broke up for good in 1990 after he fathered a child with another woman.“I loved him,” Huston told The Guardian while reflecting on why she stayed with the “Chinatown” actor for so long despite his infidelity. “I think in the world that I was living in, it wasn’t disrespectful.

It was how he was, and it wasn’t so personal.”She continued, “I think as soon as I clocked that, it was all right, I knew how to protect myself.
