Photos: Anjelica Huston and Jack Nicholson Through the Years
My old life ended and my new life began as I was standing next to a baggage carousel in the customs hall at LAX in March It was there, at the age of 21, that I parted ways with Bob Richardson, a bold and provocative fashion photographer 24 years older than I, with whom I’d been involved in a tempestuous affair for the past four years.
