Anjelica Huston shared not having a child 'was probably for the best.'

Speaking with The Guardian, Anjelica Huston shared not having a child "was probably for the best."

She said: “I would probably have been miserable. When I talk about my mother and not wanting to echo that relationship, I think it would’ve probably been very much the same way. I would have been a stay-at-home mum, and he’d have been off, doing what he did. And that’s never really been me, either. I’m too noisy. I suck up too much air, myself.”

The Addams Family actress was married to Robert Graham from 1992 until his death in 2008.

Jennifer Aniston has said 'I’ve birthed a lot of things.'

After going through heartbreak after heartbreak, Jennifer Aniston learned how to handle things amid pressure to have children.

She said: “I don’t have this sort of checklist of things that have to be done and if they’re not checked then I’ve failed some part of my feminism or my being a woman or my worth or my value as a woman… You know, I’ve birthed a lot of things."

In 2016, she penned a Huffington Post op-ed where she discussed the non-stop pregnancy speculations and slammed tabloids for claiming she was having a child at the time.

Part of her article read: “Here’s where I come out on this topic: We are complete with or without a mate, with or without a child. We get to decide for ourselves what is beautiful when it comes to our bodies…. We don’t need to be married or mothers to be complete. We get to determine our own 'happily ever after' for ourselves.”
