Helen Hunt

Helen Hunt is an American actress, screenwriter, director, and producer. Her rise to fame began in 1992 with the filming of the TV series Crazy About You. Participation in the sitcom made the fragile blonde, who, due to her external resemblance, is often confused with Jodie Foster, one of the highest paid actresses of the 90s.

After completing her multi-part project, Hunt starred in Pay It Forward, starring the charming Kevin Spacey, in the comedy What Do Women Want? with handsome Mel Gibson; and Outcast with Tom Hanks. These films have cemented the reputation of a master of transformation for the charismatic woman.

Helen Hunt was born on June 15, 1963 in southwestern California in Culver City. The father of the future Hollywood movie star, Gordon, was a director, and his mother, Jane Elizabeth Novis, worked as a professional photographer. Helen's grandmother, Dorothy Fries, taught stage speech. It was she who instilled in her granddaughter a love of cinema, theater and opera.

According to the memoirs of the actress, an atmosphere of all-consuming creative anarchy always reigned in her family. Parents have never dominated their beloved child, giving their daughter the right to choose. Sports, singing, painting - wherever Helen went, Gordon and Jane would gladly accept and support her. Despite the permissiveness, it is difficult to imagine that a child of such a gifted mother and father would gravitate towards mathematical sciences.

As a child, the future artist refused to play with her peers, preferring TV programs to a fun pastime with friends, which told about the secrets of the profession of the actor. The blonde was six years old when she finally decided that she wanted to connect her life with an acting path.

Hunt's first professional achievement was his role in the television series The Mary Tyler Moore Show. Casting assistants, who noticed the talented girl at the casting, began to invite her to various television projects. Hunt has starred in several commercially unsuccessful films (the most famous of which was "The Swiss Robinson Family" in 1975) and TV shows, and also discovered the stage.

Being an unusually intelligent and pragmatic child, Helen decided that, first of all, you need to get a good education and only then think about a career. Teachers at the Catholic school in Burbank, where Hunt studied in high school, remember her fondly. Teachers say that the actress skillfully combined her work on TV with attending classes, to which she always came with prepared homework.

In her teenage years, Helen behaved like an ordinary teenager, never emphasized her superiority, and tried to act in films during the summer holidays in order to keep up with the school curriculum. Despite her academic success, the artist has never been an example to follow. Her classmates remember how Hunt, together with a friend, scared the teachers during the lesson, depicting the voices of different animals.

After receiving her high school diploma, Helen entered the University of California. Within two months, the talented student stopped attending classes, preferring to study, which she used to put on a pedestal, moving to New York and completely immersing herself in the acting environment. During that period, Hunt established a reputation for being a hard worker, and her work on the big and small screens, as a result, brought the actress the long-awaited success.

Hunt established herself as an actress after the 1985 premiere of the youth comedy Girls Want to Have Fun. The film directed by Alan Metter, in addition to Helen, starred Ed Lother, Sarah Jessica Parker, Morgan Woodward and Shannen Doherty. A year later, the actress starred in the film "Peggy Sue Got Married," in which she got the role of the daughter of the heroes Nicolas Cage and Kathleen Turner.

All of America started talking about the charming blonde after the premiere of the TV series Crazy About You. The film, which aired from 1992 to 1999, earned Hunt four Emmy Awards. It is known that in the final season, the actress received $ 1 million per episode.

In 1996, Helen starred in the film "The Tornado", and a year later she got the main role in the tragicomedy James L. Brooks "It Can't Be Better". The motion picture brought the blonde her first Oscar in her life. It is noteworthy that initially the role of Melvin Yudal was offered not to Jack Nicholson, but to John Travolta. In turn, Carol Connelly was not supposed to play Hunt, but Holly Hunter.

In 2000, the artist triumphantly returned to the cinema, starring in four films at once: "Outcast", "What do women want?", "Pay another" and "Doctor" T "and his women." In Nancy Myers' romantic comedy What Do Women Want? Hunt tried on the image of advertising agent Darcy McGuire. In the story, an ambitious person falls in love with local playboy Nick Marshall (Mel Gibson), who, thanks to his accidental ability to read the minds of women, plans to get the new boss fired.

In 2001, Woody Allen invited the actress to his comedy The Curse of the Jade Scorpion. The story of an insurance agent who fell into the trap of a villain-illusionist was liked by the audience, more than recouping the budget spent on shooting. Three years later, the filmography of the blonde was replenished with a role in the film "Good Woman", in which, in addition to Helen, the notorious Scarlett Johansson, Stephen Campbell Moore and Mark Ambers starred.

In 2006, the documentary drama Bobby was released on the big screens. Thanks to the phenomenal performance of Anthony Hopkins, Sharon Stone, Helen Hunt and Demi Moore, the film won the Venice Film Festival for Best Biographical Film.

In 2012, the actress starred in the film "Surrogate". The plot of the tape directed by Ben Louin is based on the essay of the journalist and poet Mark O'Brien "In Search of a Sex Surrogate." Two years later, the premiere of The Ride comedy took place. In the film, Hunt got the role of a mother who, because of her son, who dropped out of school for a surfer's career, turned her life upside down, filling it with new colors.

Hunt never spoke about relations with representatives of the strong half of humanity. Despite the efforts of the actress not to publicize her personal life, nosy journalists always managed to find out the most piquant and scandalous details about the artist's communication with men outside the set.

It is known that during the filming of the film "Dancing on the Water" (1992) Helen met with her colleague on the set - the actor Eric Stolz. True, the relationship of the lovers ended immediately after the release of the picture on the big screens.

In 1994, the charming blonde began an affair with television actor Hank Azaria, for whom she starred in the comedy What Do Women Want? in 1999 she got married. A couple of months after the wedding, young people realized that they were not ready for the gray realities of family life and filed for divorce.

In 2001, the actress met producer Matthew Carnahan. Already in May 2004, she gave birth to her beloved daughter Makena Leia Gordon Carnahan. It is worth noting that the celebrity couple did not officially legalize the relationship. For 16 years, the couple lived in perfect harmony, and in 2017, Western media, referring to insiders, reported that Helen and Matthew had broken up.

As it turned out, the former lovers have been living separately for a couple of months. Over the years, they have had relationship difficulties and serious disagreements. Their breakup happened at the end of 2016, but they tried to keep the family together for the sake of a common daughter.

In March 2017, the world premiere of the TV series Firestrel took place. In the film directed by Gina Prince Bytwood, Reggae Rock Bytwood and John David Coles, Helen reincarnated as Governor Patricia Eamons. The film company producing the American drama project has extended the beloved detective story for a second season, which is scheduled for release in early 2018.

Also this year, the films directed by Ben Shelton "The Can of Candy" and Louis C. Kay "I Love You Daddy" will be released on big screens. It is known that Hunt will also appear in the films. Due to the fact that the pictures are in post-production status, there are no details regarding the cast and plot at the moment.

Despite the busy work schedule, the eminent actress does not forget about the fan. In “Instagram” and “Twitter” the actress regularly uploads photos from filming and video clips from her vacation. It is worth noting that social networks are not the only resource that tells fans about the latest news from Hunt's life: materials related to the creative biography of the Hollywood star are often published on Internet portals and in print media.
