Huston lived with Jack Nicholson from 1973 to 1989. She is married to the sculptor Robert Graham Jr. (1992 - present), has no children, and resides in an unusual dwelling in Venice, California. Huston refused to move to the Bohemian area unless Graham built them a fortress to live in. The result was a giant, windowless structure behind an opaque 40-foot fence.
