Early-life:
Helen Elizabeth Hunt was born in Culver City, California, on June 15, 1963, to Jane and Gordon. When she was three, her family moved to New York, where her father worked as a theatre director. As a child actress in the 1970s, Helen appeared on The Mary Tyler Moore Show, The Bionic Woman and The Swiss Family Robinson.
Career:
During the 1980s, Hunt starred in one season of sitcom It Takes Two, popped up in an episode of Highway to Heaven and had a recurring role in medical drama St Elsewhere. After playing the lead role in short-lived drama My Life and Times, Hunt's big break came in 1992 when she co-starred with Paul Reiser in hugely popular sitcom Mad About You. It ran until 1999 and during that time, she won four Emmy Awards and directed several episodes, including the series finale. In 1998, she won an Academy Award for her role in As Good as It Gets (1997). Films since then have included Cast Away (2000), What Women Want (2000), Bobby (2006) and The Sessions (2012).
Quote:
"I'm not very sexy or glamorous! I have this girl next door kind of look and I have to do the best I can with that."
Trivia:
Hunt won her second Academy Award nomination for The Sessions.
