| In 1987 Holly Hunter appeared in Raising Arizona (with Nicolas Cage) and Broadcast News, and was suddenly a movie star. Proving she could do more than rapid-fire dialogue and comedy, Hunter nabbed the 1994 Oscar for her performance in The Piano (1993, directed by Jane Campion). Since then she has appeared in a variety of movies, including Copycat (1995, with Sigourney Weaver), Crash (1996, based on the novel by J. G. Ballard), Living Out Loud (1998) and as George Clooney's wife in O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000). In 2004 she was nominated for an Oscar for her supporting performance in Thirteen (2003) |
