TRIVIA: Got the role in 'Twister'based on her performance
in 'The Waterdance'.
Daughter of Gordon Hunt.
Got the lead in 'As Good As It Gets' after Holly Hunter turned
it down.
After divorcing Hank Azaria, she moved to New York, intending to
do theater work, especially William Shakespeare.
Dated Eric Stoltz, her 'The Waterdance' co-star.
Her best friend is Helen Slater.
Witnessed the World Trade Center attacks from the roof of her
brand new New York apartment and decided to leave the city right
away, but could not get a flight out. She booked a private jet at
considerable expense and flew herself and her staff out of
Connecticut three days later, the first day they allowed private
jets to fly. [September 2001]
Only the second actress to win a Golden Globe, an Oscar, and an Emmy
in the same calendar year. The first was Liza Minnelli in 1973.
Beat Teri Hatcher for the role of Jamie Buchman in "Mad About You"
at the final auditions.
WHERE IS SHE NOW: Boy it sure seemed like after winning
the Academy Award for 'As Good As It Gets' and the ending
of 'Mad About You', Helen seemed to fade away. Well
nothing could be further from the truth.
She actually appeared in many movies, in fact she appeared
in four movies released in the year 2000. Two of them were
in theaters at the same time during the end-of-the-year
holiday season, and grossed over $150 million each: Cast
Away and What Women Want.
She also hit Broadway in 'Life (x) 3'.
Helen did take some time off after the birth of her daughter.
Then hit the big screen again in the 2006 movie, 'Bobby'.
This year she wrapped up, 'Then She Found Me' which will be
released in 2008.
