Mini biography
Holly Hunter was born in Conyers, Georgia, the youngest of seven children whose
father was a part-time sporting goods company representative and part-time
farmer with a 250 acre farm. Her parents encouraged in her talent at an early
age, and her first acting part was as Helen Keller in a fifth-grade play. In
1976 she went to Pittsburgh to pursue a degree in drama from Carnegie Mellon
University. After graduating in 1980, she went to New York City, where she met
playwright Beth Henley in a stalled elevator. Hunter went on to get roles in a
number of Henley's southern gothic plays, including Crimes of the Heart and The
Miss Firecracker Contest. In 1982 the actress went to Los Angeles. She landed
her first starring role in the movies in the Coen brothers' Raising Arizona
(1987), a part that is said to have been written with her in mind. She gained
stardom in 1987 when she played the driven TV news producer Jane Craig in James
L. Brooks' Broadcast News (1987). In 1993 she earned an Academy Award and
worldwide acclaim with her performance as a mute bride to a New Zealand planter
in Piano, The (1993).
