Library hosts Allegra Houston

The Newport Beach Public Library Foundation will host an evening with Allegra Huston, stepdaughter of filmmaker John Huston, on Tuesday at the Central Library, 1000 Avocado Ave. Huston will speak about her new book, “Love Child: A Memoir of Family Lost and Found.”

She is the daughter of ballerina Ricki Soma and British historian John Julius Norwich, but primarily was raised by Huston, her mother’s estranged husband. Allegra Huston grew up with actress Anjelica Huston and writer-actor Danny Huston.

The lecture and question-and-answer session will be at 7 p.m., followed by an 8 p.m. book signing. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.

There is no charge to attend, but a suggested donation of $10 will be taken at the door. No advance reservations will be accepted; seats will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. There will be free parking in the library lot and across the street in the Corporate Plaza lot.
