Their love story was marked by numerous break-ups and reconciliations, during which both stars pursued romances with other partners.
The final nail in the coffin for their romance came in 1989 when Nicholson revealed over dessert that he was expecting a child with actress Rebecca Broussard.
In an excerpt from her upcoming autobiography titled Watch Me, featured in Vanity Fair magazine, Huston recalls the moment Nicholson made the shocking announcement, saying, “I have something to tell you…
Someone is gonna have a baby.”
Nicholson expressed his desire to support Broussard through the pregnancy while maintaining his relationship with Huston.
However, Huston drew the line, asserting, “There’s only room for one of us women in this picture, and I am going to retire from it.”
Reflecting on past episodes of turmoil in their relationship, Huston recounts instances where she would come across reports of Nicholson’s alleged infidelities in the media, leading her to unleash her anger on him physically.
She vividly describes the scene, stating, “I beat him savagely about the head and shoulders.
