He is the patriarch of the four generations of the Huston acting family, including his son John, grandchildren [[Anjelica Huston]] and [[Danny Huston]], as well as great-grandchild [[Jack Huston]]. The family has produced three generations of Academy Award winners: Walter, his son John, and granddaughter Anjelica.

==Early life==
Huston was born on April 6, 1883 or 1884, in [[Toronto]], [[Ontario]],<ref name=yrt1/><ref name=yrt2/><ref name=yrt3/><ref name=yrt4/> where he attended Winchester Street Public School.<ref name="northernstars.ca">{{cite web|url=http://www.northernstars.ca/actorsghi/huston_walter_bio.html |title=Walter Huston - Northernstars.ca |access-date=October 2, 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121115071335/http://www.northernstars.ca/actorsghi/huston_walter_bio.html |archive-date=November 15, 2012 }}</ref> He was the son of Elizabeth (née McGibbon) and Robert Moore Huston, a farmer who founded a construction company.<ref name=eye>{{Cite book|last=Morrison|first=Michael A.|title=John Barrymore, Shakespearean Actor (Volume 10 of Cambridge studies in American theatre and drama)|publisher=Cambridge University Press|year=1999|page=75|isbn=0-521-62979-9}}</ref> He was of Scottish and Irish descent.<ref name=oea>{{Cite book|last=Huston|first=John|title=An Open Book|publisher=Da Capo Press|year=1994|page=9|isbn=0-306-80573-1}}</ref> He had a brother and two sisters, one of whom was the theatrical voice coach Margaret Carrington (1877–1941).{{Citation needed |date=October 2023}} 

His family moved, before his birth, from [[Caledon Township, Ontario|Melville]],<ref>Arthur Huston, "Melville Junction", Wm. Perkins Bull fonds, ca. 1934. Available at the Region of Peel Archives, Brampton.</ref> just south of [[Orangeville, Ontario]], where they were farmers. As a young man, he worked in construction and in his spare time attended the Shaw School of Acting. He made his stage debut in 1902. He went on to tour in ''In Convict Stripes'', a play by [[Hal Reid (actor)|Hal Reid]], father of [[Wallace Reid]], and also appeared with [[Richard Mansfield]] in ''[[Julius Caesar (play)|Julius Caesar]]''. He again toured in another play, ''[[The Sign of the Cross (play)|The Sign of the Cross]]''. In 1904, he married Rhea Gore (1882–1938), a sports editor for various publications, and gave up acting to work as a manager of electric power stations in [[Nevada, Missouri]]. He maintained these jobs until 1909.{{Citation needed |date=October 2023}} 

The couple's only child [[John Huston]] was born on August 5, 1906, in Nevada, Missouri, at which point Rhea gave up her work to concentrate on motherhood.{{Citation needed |date=October 2023}}

==Career==

In 1909, with his marriage foundering, he appeared with an older actress named [[Bayonne Whipple]] (born Mina Rose, 1865–1937).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/HUSTON/2005-03/1111086431 |title=Walter Huston/Bayonne Whipple; response from Ancestry.com dated March 17, 2005 |publisher=Archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com |date=March 17, 2005 |access-date=June 14, 2016}}</ref> They were billed as Whipple and Huston.

Walter and Rhea Gore Huston divorced in 1913, and in December 1914, Huston married Mina Rose. Vaudeville was their livelihood into the 1920s, and Walter's son John was sent to live and study in [[boarding schools]]. During summer vacations, John traveled separately with each of his parents &nbsp;– with father Walter on vaudeville tours, and with his mother Rhea to horse races and other sports events. 

Walter Huston began his [[Broadway theatre|Broadway]] career on January 22, 1924, when he performed there in the play ''Mr. Pitt''.<ref>{{Cite web|date=April 8, 1950|title=From the Archives: Heart Attack Fatal to Actor Walter Huston|url=https://www.latimes.com/local/obituaries/la-me-walter-huston-19500408-20160406-snap-story.html|website=Los Angeles Times}}</ref> He then solidified his Broadway career with roles in productions such as ''Desire Under the Elms'', ''Kongo'', ''The Barker'', and ''Elmer the Great''.

Once [[Sound film|talkies]] began in [[Hollywood (film industry)|Hollywood]], he was cast in both character roles and as a [[leading man]]. His first major role was portraying the villainous Trampas in ''[[The Virginian (1929 film)|The Virginian]]'' (1929), a [[Western (genre)|Western]] that costars [[Gary Cooper]] and [[Richard Arlen]]. Some of Huston's other early sound roles include ''[[Abraham Lincoln (1930 film)|Abraham Lincoln]]'' (1930), ''[[Rain (1932 film)|Rain]]'' (1932), and ''[[Gabriel Over the White House]]'' (1933).

The career of Mina Rose (a.k.a. Bayonne Whipple) did not follow the same trajectory as Huston's, and their act -- and marriage -- collapsed after Huston began to accept solo work. After several years of separation, the two divorced in 1931.<ref>''Daily Boston Globe'' (October 14, 1931): 16.</ref> Huston remarried that same year, to Ninetta (Nan) Sunderland,<ref>[http://www.latimes.com/local/obituaries/la-me-walter-huston-19500408-20160406-snap-story.html "Heart Attack Fatal to Actor Walter Huston"] ''Los Angeles Times'' (April 8, 1950).</ref> and the two remained married until Huston's death.

Huston remained busy on stage and screen throughout the 1930s and 1940s, becoming during that period one of America's most prominent actors. He starred as the title character in the 1934 Broadway [[Dodsworth (play)|adaptation]] of [[Sinclair Lewis]]'s novel ''[[Dodsworth (novel)|Dodsworth]]'' as well as in the play's [[Dodsworth (film)|film version]] released two years later. For his role as Sam Dodsworth, Huston won the [[New York Film Critics Circle]] Award for Best Actor and was Oscar nominated. He performed "[[September Song]]" in the original Broadway production of ''[[Knickerbocker Holiday]]'' (1938). Huston's recording of "September Song" is heard repeatedly in ''[[September Affair]]'' (1950).<ref>{{cite news|last=Crowther|first=Bosley|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1951/02/02/archives/the-screen-in-review-september-affair-with-joan-fontaine-and-joseph.html|title=September Affair,' With Joan Fontaine and Joseph Cotten, Opens at the Music Hall|work=The New York Times|date=February 2, 1951|access-date=January 25, 2019}}</ref>

Huston makes an uncredited appearance in the 1941 [[film noir]] classic ''[[The Maltese Falcon (1941 film)|The Maltese Falcon]]'', portraying the ship's captain who is shot just before delivering the black bird to Sam Spade, played by [[Humphrey Bogart]]. Walter's son, [[John Huston]], directed the picture. As a practical joke during filming, John had his father enter the scene and die in more than 10 different takes.{{Citation needed|date=September 2019}}

Among several of his contributions to [[World War II]] Allied propaganda films, Huston in an uncredited role portrays a military instructor in the [[Short film|short]] ''[[Safeguarding Military Information]]'' (1942). That film was produced by the [[Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences]] and distributed by the [[War Activities Committee of the Motion Pictures Industry]]. He, along with Anthony Veiller, is also a narrator in the ''[[Why We Fight]]'' series of World War II documentaries directed by [[Frank Capra]]. Other films of this period in which he appears are ''[[The Devil and Daniel Webster (film)|The Devil and Daniel Webster]]'' (1941) as [[Satan|Mr. Scratch]], ''[[Yankee Doodle Dandy]]'' (1942), and ''[[Mission to Moscow]]'' (1943). In the latter feature, a pro-[[Soviet Union|Soviet]] World War II [[propaganda]] film, he plays United States Ambassador Joseph E. Davies.

Huston portrays the character Howard in the 1948 adventure drama ''[[The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (film)|The Treasure of the Sierra Madre]]'', which was also directed by his son John. Based on the mysterious [[B. Traven]]'s [[The Treasure of the Sierra Madre|novel]], the film depicts the story of three gold prospectors in 1920s post-revolution Mexico. Walter Huston won the Golden Globe Award and the [[Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor]] for the film, while John Huston won the Best Director Academy Award, thus making them the first father and son to win at the same ceremony. His last film is ''[[The Furies (1950 film)|The Furies]]'' (1950) in which he costars with [[Barbara Stanwyck]] and [[Wendell Corey]]. In that [[Western (genre)|Western]], Huston's final line is "There will never be another one like me."

==Death==
On April 7, 1950, Huston died of an [[aortic aneurysm]] in his hotel suite in [[Beverly Hills]].<ref>{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=2507&dat=19500408&id=qltAAAAAIBAJ&pg=3348,6591097&hl=en|title=Hollywood Death of Walter Huston|date=April 6, 1950|work=The Glasgow Herald |page=4|access-date=February 14, 2016|location=Glasgow, Scotland}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|last=Huston|first=John|date=1994|title=An Open Book|publisher=Da Capo Press|page=185|isbn=0-306-80573-1}}</ref> He was cremated.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1338&dat=19500410&id=CNlXAAAAIBAJ&pg=5311,3528195&hl=en|title=Services Planned for Walter Huston|date=April 10, 1950|work=Spokane Daily Chronicle|page=9|access-date=February 14, 2016|location=Spokane, Washington}}</ref>

==Legacy==
In 1960, a decade after his death, Huston received a star on the [[Hollywood Walk of Fame]] at 6624 Hollywood Boulevard, memorializing his contributions to the entertainment industry through his extensive, critically acclaimed work in motion pictures.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.walkoffame.com/walter-huston |title=Walk of Fame Stars Walter Huston |website=Hollywood Chamber of Commerce/Walk of Fame|date=October 25, 2019 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://projects.latimes.com/hollywood/star-walk/walter-huston/ |title=Hollywood Star Walk: Walter Huston|website=[[Los Angeles Times]]}}</ref> He was also a member of the [[American Theater Hall of Fame]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.theaterhalloffame.org/members.html#H|title=Theater Hall of Fame members}}</ref>

Huston's son John initially became a screenwriter before becoming an Academy Award-winning director and acclaimed actor. All of Huston's grandchildren have become actors, as well as his great-grandson. Granddaughter [[Anjelica Huston|Anjelica]] sang "September Song" on the May 7, 2012, episode of the NBC TV series ''[[Smash (U.S. TV series)|Smash]]''.{{Citation needed |date=December 2021}}
