Holly Hunter is an Academy Award-winning American
actress.
Hunter's first starring role in films came in 1987's Raising
Arizona. That year, she also starred in Broadcast News, for which she earned an
Oscar nomination for the Best Actress. In 1993, she won the Best Actress Oscar
for The Piano and showcased her skill with the piano by playing all the elaborate
pieces on the score herself. That year, Hunter was also nominated for Best Supporting
Actress for The Firm. In 2004, she earned another Best Supporting Actress nomination
for thirteen and voiced a star role (Helen Parr/Elastigirl) in the animated film
The Incredibles. Hunter has also appeared in several television films and has
earned two Emmys. She is currently set to star in a crime series on TNT portraying
an Oklahoma City Police Department detective.
Hunter earned a degree
in drama from Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, after which she moved
to New York City. When she first moved to Los Angeles she shared a house with
a group of people which included actress Frances McDormand and director Sam Raimi
as well as future collaborators Joel and Ethan Coen. For many years she was in
a relationship with actor Arliss Howard. She was married to cinematographer Janusz
Kaminski from May 20, 1995 until their divorce on December 21, 2001. Since 2001,
she has been in a relationship with American actor Gordon MacDonald (who is from
New York and not Britain, contrary to what has been reported) with whom she co-starred
in Marina Carr's By the Bog of Cats in a 2001 run at the San Jose Repertory Theater,
and later in a 2004 West End production of the same play. In January 2006, Hunter's
publicist announced that the couple had welcomed twins; Entertainment Weekly later
reported that the twins were boys.
Holly's cousin is Tim Salmon, career right fielder and designated hitter (now retired) of the Los Angeles Angels major league baseball team.
