While Bill Murray has publicly feuded with some of his directors, he appears to get along swimmingly with Wes Anderson, who first directed Murray in his 1998 film “Rushmore.” Since then, Murray has appeared in nearly all of Anderson’s films, and took the starring role in 2004’s “The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou.” Also starring in the film was Anjelica Huston, playing the wife of Murray’s character.
“He was a s**t to me on ‘Life Aquatic,'” Huston told Vulture, recalling the less-than-hospitable treatment she claimed to have received from Murray, while filming on location in the Italian Riviera. “The first week I was there, we were all in this little hotel, and he invited the entire cast to go and have dinner, except me. And everyone came down for dinner, a little dog-faced about my not being invited, and they were all like, ‘Oh, you know, we don’t really want to go. That was worse than anything,” she admitted.

However, Huston was quick to point out that when she ran into Murray subsequently, he told her that he missed her. She bluntly fired back, “You’re full of s**t. You didn’t miss me.” That retort, she explained, seemed to confuse him. In her subsequent meetings with Murray, Huston confirmed his behavior toward her had improved markedly. “He showed up at my husband’s funeral,” Huston said. “He couldn’t have been nicer that day. He showed up. A lot of people didn’t.”
