I find Helen Hunt’s career and public profile fascinating. She seems like such a non-Hollywood actress. Like, she is only an actress and has never bought into any of the celebrity crap. She has seldom been the subject of tabloid garbage, even when she was Kevin Spacey’s beard. Having endured some rumors about her own sexuality, perhaps she was more sympathetic to him? At any rate, I find it interesting that someone with such a very successful and varied career has managed to avoid the scrutiny so many show biz people have to put up with.
She is one of only three women to have won a Golden Globe, Academy Award and an Emmy in the same year. Helen Mirren and Liza Minelli are the other two who’ve also won that Triple Crown of acting awards. What an interesting threesome. Imagine going to lunch with them. I bet that would be awesome.
It’s a shame she hasn’t done a big movie in the past 5 years.
I quite liked her in What Women Want.
She is an amazing actress.
There are many ‘celebrities’ who have avoided the insanity of Hollywood.
I really liked her in “What Women Want”, not so much in “As Good As it Gets”
I always thought it was odd that both she and Hank Azaria (one of my all time faves) are so amazingly talented, but that neither of them achieved over the top celebrity status. It always made them seem so much more likable, I remember being very sad when they split up.
“Mad About You” should still be on the air if you ask me – Helen was just soooo cute on that show.
Brains, Talent, and Beauty. She is a gracious woman and actress.
The only woman on Earth who could tempt me to leave my wife.
Hank Azaria and Helen Hunt dated? I had no idea. I love that guy.
They were married for about a year, jo. He had a recurring role on Mad About You. I liked them together, too.
Wow, married? I had no idea!
Have you ever seen The Birdcage? He is a riot in that.
Hank Azaria is hilarious–and cut! I loved him in “Along Came Polly” and in “Run Fatboy Run.”
