Anjelica Huston revealed she regrets not taking her ex-boyfriend Jack Nicholson, 87, up on his offer to stay with him while she was fleeing the LA fires in January.

The Pritzi’s Honor star, 73, was fleeing the wildfires with her three dogs, two cats and housekeeper when Jack called her. 

‘The phone just rang out of nowhere, and it was him,’ Huston told People. ‘It’s always a comfort when he calls.’

Nicholson and Huston dated on and off from 1973 to 1990. He asked if she was okay and if she needed a place to stay when he called.

‘It was heartbreakingly sweet,’ says Huston, who evacuated to her ranch near the Sierra Nevada mountain range in California amid the fires. 

‘I’ve gone back over it several times in my head, and I think next time I’d accept the invitation.’

During that time, she said the Chinatown star — whom she previously dated on and off for 17 years — conveyed his care and concern.

‘That’s the bottom line with him and I,’ she said. ‘When the chips are down, he’s there.’ 

Huston said her longtime friendship with The Shining star is ‘important.’

However, visits to his home in Los Angeles are few and far between these days. 

‘Life gets in the way,’ she said. ‘Also, for some reason, they’ve been doing endless rerouting and road work near his house, so it takes hours to get to him, and that’s always irritating.  

‘I always managed to be late going to see him, which is very irritating for him.’

Huston and Nicholson met at a party at his home in L.A. in 1973, a month after she broke up with pH๏τographer Bob Richardson. 

Huston and Nicholson broke up for good in 1990 after he fathered a child outside of their relationship with actress Rebecca Broussard.

She went on to find love again and was married to sculptor Robert Graham from 1992 up until his death in 2008.

Reflecting on staying with Nicholson despite his infidelity back then, Huston told the outlet she has no regrets. 

‘I loved him,’ she said. ‘I think in the world that I was living in, it wasn’t disrespectful.’ 

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

She said that she was sure that she wanted to stay with him and insists she was not a victim even though she wasn’t ‘happy’ that he was unfaithful. 

‘It didn’t make me happy, but I knew what I was doing,’ she said. 

‘I did what I wanted to do, and I did it with sureness,’ she added. 

‘If I wanted something, I knew how to go after it, so it wasn’t as though anything was being done to me. I wasn’t a wilting flower.’

During an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen in 2019, Angelica made a racy confession about Jack.

‘Describe Jack Nicholson as a lover in three words,’ Andy asked The Witches star as RuPaul sat in as a guest at the clubhouse.

‘Um. Um … Oh, dear,’ she said, seemingly flustered. ‘What is that d-thing?’

‘D***,’ RuPaul replied in efforts to help Anjelica fill in the blanks, with which she answered, ‘very big.’
