Helen Hunt is turning 54 today. The Oscar and multiple Emmy winner is our latest WTHH birthday. As the linked article recounts, she began working as a child actress in the seventies, and then had a period of “paying her dues” once she transitioned to adult roles in the eighties. But it wasn’t until the early nineties that she began to be successful. She was cast as newlywed Jamie Stemple Buchman on NBC’s Mad About You; it ran for seven seasons, and Hunt was nominated for the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress-Comedy each season, winning four straight times from 1996-99.


During Mad About You’s run Hunt landed some major film roles, first in Twister, and then, most significantly, opposite Jack Nicholson in As Good as It Gets in 1997, for which Hunt won the Oscar for Best Actress. Hunt then made several films at the beginning of the 2000s, but since then has worked intermittently. She received a second Oscar nomination, and a lengthy list of other honors , for the 2012 film The Sessions, and recently completed the first season of Fox’s Shots Fired.

This is a very interesting article. Earlier in this sitting, I replied to a thread about it being the birthday of Counteney Cox. I had no idea that these two babes were born the same day one year apart! Wow! In any event, happy birthday to Helen! She is my favorite actress in the whole world! I think that Counteney is pretty hot too!
