    She definitely made some good movies. They were at a time when woman wanted to become more successful and independent and got high powered jobs. But they were still soft and sensitive inside.

    I always found her a "hit or miss" actress. She was great in Twister and As Good As It Gets, but when she tries to be the typical attractive, seductive woman, I don't think she makes it. And for her and Daveed Diggs to claim that the reason their script & her as director weren't chosen for Twisters, I think it more likely that it was because the producers didn't think she was a good enough director. I think she's been incredibly lucky and should be grateful for what she's got.

    I hear she’s in Lost & Found now. I was at a hotel in New York and lost my watch. I checked with the front desk to see if anyone turned it in. They told me I could go to Helen Hunt for it. There you go.

    I understand that you age,but they should have respected Helen hunts reasons and went with the plot she wanted,she's always been a great person and actress ❤️

    In my opinion she should have been the main actress in twisters,the new actors in twisters aren't in the movie for the weather or the tornado chasing,they are a bunch of hillbilly hicks that think it's just a joke, therefore the movie is a big joke…

    Thought for sure this was going to mention her now unrecognisable face after truly terrible surgical 'interventions'. Saw her recently & couldn't tell you about the movie, just transfixed by her new face. What pressure to have to go to these lengths. Sad 😢

    What happened to her? This video implies without flat out saying that Hollywood is basically done with Hunt after she starred in box office bomb after bomb after bomb etc. When you have that many projects in a row that are epic failures no one is going to want to work with you.

    Greatest actress during her long "hey day". Such a mesmerizing star and just made me relax and enjoy her roles so much. My favorite with her? Cast Away. She was especially real and sensitive in this movie. Thank you Helen; I truly appreciate you!

    I noticed I could buy and watch new Twister now. Instantly checked if Helen made a return but was met with dissapointment. I would have paid the double for the movie if she was in it! Since people seems to think the original is better than the new one, I'm curious about Helens script.

    Helen Hunt is living proof that you don't need any talent at all in order to become an actress. You can actually just play the same depressed, bitter and anxious person over and over again and get roles. She almost ruined castaway…
