Unlike other members of his family, who went into acting, Huston specialized in writing screenplays. He is known for his work on The Hellcats (1968) and The Dead (1987). He later became an attorney and assistant director.
On 18 November 1978, he married Margot Cholmondeley, the daughter of the 6th Marquess of Cholmondeley, with whom he had three children, including Jack Huston.[5][6][7] Huston and Margot later divorced.
