| Although Hunter's single greatest claim to fame is her Oscar-winning embodiment of mute immigrant mother Ada McGrath in Jane Campion's The Piano (1993), her trump card as an actress is versatility. Whether she's playing a comically hyperactive, baby-snatching cop (Raising Arizona) or a twisted sexpot (Crash), Hunter steals almost every scene she's in. |
 |
| It's hard not to like a celebrity like Holly Hunter. Her infectious personality and spunky energy shine through in interviews, while her command of her craft permits her to keep those traits -- like all her others -- under control if the part she's portraying demands it. |

Holly Hunter was born in Conyers, Georgia on March 20th, 1958, the daughter of Charles Edwin Hunter, a part-time sporting goods manufacturer's representative and part-time farmer with 250 acres, and Opal Marguerite Catledge, a homemaker. The youngest of seven children, Holly was encouraged by her parents to pursue her acting talent at an early age, and she landed her first gig as Helen Keller in a fifth-grade play.
After a comfortable small-town upbringing, Holly ventured north for some serious acting training. She found it at Pittsburgh's Carnegie Mellon University under Jorge Guerra, and then hopped over to New York City to try to live the dream. Serendipity was on her side when the young talent found herself stuck in a stalled elevator with playwright Beth Henley. The chance meeting led to collaborations between the two women -- first the stage production of The Miss Firecracker Contest, then with Hunter's 1982 Broadway debut, Crimes of the Heart. |
