Oscar-winning actress Anjelica Huston is perhaps most memorable to the Irish for her role as Gretta Conroy in her father John’s film of the James Joyce short story “The Dead.” Here she recalls time her family spent in County Wicklow before moving to St. Clerans in Galway.

I have very early memories of that house. It was very large and drafty with an enormous kitchen and big gardens. The sort of things I remember are the small mishaps that happen to you when you’re a child – like getting my arm caught in the wringer of the washing machine. It was there that I learned how to ride. I had an old pony called Honeymoon, who eventually collapsed underneath me as I was cantering around the fields like one of those comic children.
“Nostalgia for Ireland sweeps over me often, not just when I’m working with an Irish cast. I love Ireland and I miss it very much.” – John Huston
We’ve had quite a year (at Irish America we measure time from March to March). In March 2011 we hosted our inaugural Hall of Fame luncheon in New York City, and later that year opened our Irish America Hall of Fame in New Ross, Co. Wexford. It was a defining moment for the magazine – a bringing back home the story of the American Irish – who they are, and what they had achieved. And the story continues in this issue with the profiles of our 2012 inductees, including architect Kevin Roche who graces our cover.

One day I’ll make a pilgrimage to the Hotel Rey Don Jaime in Castelldefels, 10 miles south of Barcelona, where George Sanders committed suicide in 1972. (“Dear World,” he characteristically wrote in his over-egged note for the police, “I am leaving because I am bored… I am leaving you with your worries in this sweet cesspool…”) Meanwhile, there’s always the Hotel Excelsior, in Naples, where Sanders, and Ingrid Bergman, made Journey to Italy in 1954. “What noisy people,” says Sanders’ Alexander Joyce of the Italians, with amused irritation, or irritated amusement. “I’ve never seen noise and boredom go so well together.”
