Biography
Danny Houston is the illegitimate son of Hollywood legend John Houston. It was not easy for him to live in the shadow of a celebrity, but the child adored his father, perceiving him, according to Danny himself, as a "giant who protects me from adversity."
John lived as an adventurer and pioneer of the 19th century. He adored practical jokes and women, hunted with Hemingway, was a professional storyteller. Both his father and his daughter received Oscars for participating in his films. The son of Danny, the youngest in the Houston dynasty, was born in May 1962 in Rome. His mother, actress Zoe Sallis, was a short-lived passion for the great John, but the illegitimate son could never complain about his father’s inattention.
Danny was constantly spinning on the sets where John's films were shot, was the favorite of many legendary stars, and, of course, from childhood knew that cinema was his fate. At first he wanted to become an artist, but then he wanted more.
