A Brilliant Oscar-Winning Actress Has Joined The Star Wars Universe With The Bad Batch

Best known for her icy or eccentric roles in films like “The Royal Tenenbaums” and “The Witches” or as Morticia Addams in the 1990s iterations of “The Addams Family,” Anjelica Huston won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in 1985 for her role in “Prizzi’s Honor.” Directed by her father, the legendary John Huston, and starring her then-boyfriend Jack Nicholson, “Prizzi’s Honor” tells the tale of a pair of assassins who fall in love and are assigned to kill each other. Huston won her Oscar for playing the mob princess and daughter of the titular Prizzi. 

She has made a name for herself across six decades of roles and now spends plenty of time doing voice-over work for shows ranging from “BoJack Horseman” and “American Dad” to “Trollhunters.” In “The Bad Batch”, she plays Lady Isa Durand, an alien character (a Devaronian) who commands a great amount of respect and power and makes a deal with the Bad Batch themselves, loath as she is to do so.
