Performing Experience
Helen Hunt first entered the showbiz
Hunter's father, Gordon Hunt, is a theater director in Los Angeles. When Helen was 3 years old, their family moved to New York. Six years later, Gordon Hunter moved back to Los Angeles as the actor selection director of the prestigious "Mark Taper Forum" in Los Angeles. The 9-year-old Helen often goes to the rehearsal after school, and a few months after returning to Los Angeles, she performed her first role in the TV series "Pioneer Women" (PioneerWomen). Although she began to make her appearance on American TV early, she has repeatedly missed the opportunity to become a movie star. She has been working hard, but she has failed unfairly. Until the early 1980s, she could only play the role of some nasty hairy children on the screen. She was told time and time again, "You are not beautiful enough to play the heroine." Since Hunter's experience on television did not help her develop in the film industry as expected, she returned to New York when she was 19 years old. She remembers renting an apartment with her boyfriend when she first arrived in New York. Due to the hot weather, she had to cover her body with a bath towel soaked in cold water every night to barely fall asleep.
Helen Hunt Hard Road
Hunter used to be considered a stage play and TV actor. Although she has sufficient strength, she still plays a movie only occasionally. The first relatively successful film she participated in was Peggy SueGot Married in 1986, in which she played a friend of Kathleen Turner. Hunter said: "Every time I go for a role in a youth movie, most of them will be rejected. They either say I am too mature, or they say I am not sexy enough. If there is any pattern in my career, it is I think I have been trying to join a club, but I have been relentlessly rejected. I have to wander outside the door. Because this club is getting bigger and bigger, and if I'm lucky, they might let me join. Go in-although it may still be reluctant. I always feel like an outsider, even now."
Hunter's timing is indeed not well controlled. She appeared in one of Richard Gere's most failed works "Miles From Home" in 1988. In 1989, she starred in "Dirty Dancing" and "Human Ghost Love". "The Ghost" became popular with Patrick Swayze's failed work "Next of Kin". That's not counting. In 1992, Hunter starred in Billy Crystal's box office stink "Mr. Saturday Night" (Mr. Saturday Night), the female number two. Hunter reluctantly said: "Maybe some people see something I haven't seen myself: I can't choose."
But Hunter chose to star in the TV series "Mad About You" in 1992. Her role as Jamie Buchanan in the play won her 4 "Amy Awards" "(Emmy) and 3 "GoldenGlobe" (GoldenGlobe).
Hunter finally won her first role as the No. 1 big screen actress in "Twisters." Although the real star of the film should be the shocking computer stunts, the image of the scientist chasing the hurricane played by Hunter is not lost in those dazzling stunts. Moreover, "Tornado" made $100 million in two weeks. These eye-catching bills are the only language that Hollywood can understand.
Helen Hunt As Good as It Gets
"Tornado" did not help Helen Hunt attract the attention of director James L. Brooks (James L. Brooks) who was looking for a female number one for "Love in My Heart". Brooks's first choice is Holly Hunter (Holly Hunter). After Holly Hunt quit for some reason, he still made it clear that he did not want Helen to be her substitute. Helen recalled afterwards: "I made countless calls to Director Brooks and rushed to meet him again and told him how much I respect him and how much I want this role. These are all true things. I read the script. , I made two audition videos, and I also met and communicated with Jack Nicholson, who played the leading role. Although I finally got the role, it was not in that encouraging and enthusiastic way. I think I was at the time. In a desperate fight, I really hate the feeling of wanting to get something so much."
At the 70th Oscars in 1997, she was unintentionally arrogant, but because of her outstanding performance in "As Good as It Gets", she was crowned as a queen.
Helen Hunt is out of luck
Even if she won the best actress Oscar, she still failed to ignite the passion of Hollywood, but still returned to the TV screen that gave her a lot of security.
She admitted: "I suddenly had some kind of embarrassment of getting rich overnight, and I don't know how to face it." She still chose a sense of security. Since there is still a TV drama contract for "Crazy For You", she signed a few more episodes, but this is not a simple renewal of the original contract. In the last year of "Crazy For You", Hunter paid as much as $1 million per episode. "Crazy for You" brought her a total of 22 million US dollars of fortune, which is not counted as future replay income. Hunter laughed: "Look, I'm still a good businessman."
In the mid-1990s, she was almost always active on TV screens. She won the Emmy Award for Best Actress in a Comedy for three consecutive years, and the remuneration reached US$1 million per episode. In 1986, she and some future stars (such as Jim Kelly, Nicholas Cage, Joan Allen) joined the filming of "Peggy Sue Is Married", but it didn't cause much sensation, so Back to the television world that made her feel at ease

Helen Hunt returns
Although she did not receive any films for the next two and a half years. In the second half of 2000, she let the audience watch the three films she starred in "Leaves of a Deserted Island", "Man Hundred Percent", and "Love Advance" within a month, and in these three films, she used Its unprecedented screen image appeared: sexy, fashionable, and elegant.
In "Cast Away" (Cast Away), she starred in Tom Hanks's very personal girlfriend. During the four years that Tom Hanks played Chuck Noland (Chuck Noland) had to struggle on a deserted island due to a plane crash, she became the spiritual pillar supporting him to live. .
In "What Women Want" (What Women Want), she made Mel Gibson, who once hated her extremely, but suddenly could understand women's heart because of an accident, fell in love with her incorrigibly. . In "Pay It Forward" (Pay It Forward), she gave the audience a bigger surprise. In this film, she plays another single mother-her "son" this time is the child star Harley Joel Osment (Haley Joel) who became popular because of The SixthSense. Osment), had to do two jobs due to life constraints. At night she is a waitress at a striptease club in Las Vegas, and during the day as a cashier at a casino. She is barely dressed and almost drunk.
Opposing Hunter is Oscar winner Kevin Spacey (Kevin Spacey), who plays Osment's social class teacher in the film. Due to a past accident, he was left with extremely severe burns. When he gave the students a homework on "How can you change people's lives", Hunter's "son" caught his attention because the 11-year-old proposed "Pay It Forward" (Pay It Forward) The plan: Everyone does three good deeds that can really help others, and then each person who receives help will do three good deeds to help others. If this continues, it will change people's lives. This may be a fairly simple and naive story, but for Hunter and the other two protagonists, the opposite is true.
It didn't take Hunter much time to prepare. She said: "I just let that feeling remain. I sometimes wonder whether the feelings given to the characters in the film are accurate, because working in a nightclub often makes people feel humiliated, and guests will act on you from time to time. I'm here I saw many bars and nightclubs in Las Vegas. To my surprise, I found that the women there seemed much more comfortable than men. At that time, I thought that maybe the night life is the best of her day. Life, because it gave her confidence."
Even in Las Vegas, Hunter is still unrecognized. She said: "Kevin Spacey was recognized, but I didn't. I have the ability to look like rubbish on a trailer." This is naturally an exaggeration. Hunter's introverted and unique smile makes her have an unusual charm, and she looks down on herself more than any Oscar-winning actress. Her dress is also as unobtrusive as possible. She claims to wear T-shirts the most, with a total of 50 pieces. She feels like this: She doesn't care about her image. Her iconic blond hair always sags naturally. Except for filming, she never deliberately picked up any fashionable hairstyles. She said: "I've never done hair specifically. My unchanging hair style happens to be fashionable, of course, most of the time it may be out of fashion. I live for my life, not for the life of a movie star. And life.
