What’s up with Helen Hunt?

She looks like she went to John Kerry’s plastic surgeon.

Funny you should mention thrifting. I could swear I saw her in the tkts line 25 or 30 years ago, but people laughed at me. It was at the height of Mad About You.

What's with the Errol Flynn mustache?

Her time is almost at the end

Brave last days

I’d fall off the face of the earth if I looked like that

She looks like Rocky Dennis from Mask.

At least she’s not overdosing on plastic surgery like so many of her peers…

She looks like an elder lesbian with fibromyalgia.

She’s dressing up for Halloween as herself

She died last week and nobody told her.

I enjoyed your work in Hillbilly Elegy, ma'am

Crikey that's not a good angle.

She was in the first season of World on Fire last? year and looked quite bad.

R3 It looks like it may be a healing scar from some kind of procedure, maybe a lip lift?

Her face looks like a melting candle.

I thought she was about 60 years old.

R17, 90.

She looks like shit.

Is that the kid from Mask?

It's a little odd when huge celebs go missing. And, like her or not, Helen Hunt was really a big deal for a good chunk of time.

She’s been a series regular for three years on Blindspotting, on Starz.

I still enjoy her in Mad About You, one of the best sitcoms of the 1990s.

I used to confuse her and Jodie Foster as a child.

Mad About you hasn't aged well for me. I really liked it in real time and it's initial syndication run. Mayvbbe it's just not one of those repeat watch shows shows for me.

Lady Elaine Fairchild

She clearly thrift-shopped her plastic surgeon

She’s really rich isn’t she? People are really irritating if I didn’t have to worry about money I’d probably limit my time around them

Oscar called, he wants to back to the Academy. Now!

IIRC Mad About You was the first show where the leads were given $1M an episode. After that, the Friends cast demanded $1M per ep.

Sorry for all the errors.

Helen is in hiding from the disastrous plastic surgery she had.

She keeps hoping the surgery will settle, but so far she doesn't recognize the person staring back at her in the mirror.

Gerg poisoned her, obvi.

R29 is having another one of her episodes

You take the good, you take the bad, bitches!

[quote]She’s been a series regular for three years on Blindspotting, on Starz.

Having a show on Starz? She might as well be in the witness protection program.

Doesn't she mostly direct now?

She directs Trolly.

R30 the Friends cast demanded $1 million an episode years later. Friends ended in 2004. Mad About You ended in 1999.

Seinfeld broke records for its pay. Not Mad About You

She is quite the accomplished equestrian.

She really needs upper-eyelid surgery, and not just for cosmetic reasons.

The bottom half of her face looks very weirdly resurfaced.

She looks perfectly fine for her age.

She’s only 60.

She has a terrible reputation as being a really unpleasant bitch who thinks she's a lot better than she is.

Let this be a lesson.

Ok looks like a 60 year old who hasn't had any facelifts

Sorry, Helen Hunt and Paul Reiser were the first cast of main characters on a tv show that got paid $1M an episode. Jerry Seinfeld was the only cast member of the 4 main characters (Seinfeld, Jason Alexander, Julia Louis Dreyfus and Michael Richards) to get $1M per episode in 1997. In 1998-1999 season Reiser and Hunt each got $1M per ep.

So Seinfeld got $1M but not the rest of the cast, while Hunt and Reiser were the stars of their show and both got $1M.

She’s a horrible twat and has the face she deserves.

She’s a nepo baby like everyone else in Hollywood.

Helen Cunt has always been... well, a cunt.

Are you the same OP who started the Kate Moss face thread?

She's no Helen Lawson.

Well, I can understand her reluctance to work now that she’s lost her beauty.

She’s super pretty.

She was never really beautiful. Kind of a girl next door plain jane.

R24 How? Did you give them men’s size large plaid flannel shirts for their birthdays and tell them “this will make sense when you’re older.”

They were both kid actors.

But I don't think Jodie grew much.

Mad About You two was a failure. Her pandemic movie was a failure. Her plastic surgery was a failure. Luckily, her inheritance and money made from her career, has her set for life.

And she probably still has that Manhattan apartment worth a couple of million.

A woman in desperate need of blepharoplasty.

Her NY apartment was so pedestrian.

R45 She’s a rough 60 even for a white woman.

She looks like she’s in her 70’s in that photo.

This thread is starting to piss me off.

[quote] Having a show on Starz? She might as well be in the witness protection program.

Fuck you! I was the undisputed Queen of Hollywood in the 90s and early 2000s, and I had a show on Starz!

She gave a decent performance as the American journalist in Season 1 of "World on Fire", but she's apparently not coming back for Season 2.

She looks like a toothless grandmother. She needed Jen Aniston’s dietitian, beautician & personal trainer.

You want answers, why don't you go to Helen Hunt for it.

^ I'd rather go to Mike Hunt.

At least now no one can say she doesn’t look old enough to co-star with Jack Nicholson

[quote]I’d fall off the face of the earth if I looked like that

R6, looks like her face is way ahead of you there.

She’s selling Lume 24 hrs a day and demonstrating how she loves to shove it up her buttcrack

She seems to have fallen off the face of the earth.

She has the face of the earth.

I'm more curious about what kind of freak thrift store has Art Nouveau angels in the architecture.

Helen looks as if she's wearing a mask made of Play-Doh modeling clay.

What happened to her face? That isn't just age.

R74 my thoughts.

She's probably been a smoker all of her life. She will always have her lesbian jaw line.

Was her marriage to Hank Azaria a beard/merkin thing?

It certainly appears so, R77.

Helen always looked like she was wearing a stiff mask that was stretched sideways at the lips.

She looks like a burn victim.

Wasn't there a "Mad About You" revival a year or two ago and everyone was asking who was playing Helen Hunt? I always thought she was aging gracefully around "Twister" but then she did some weird things with melting wax and now it's too disconcerting.

R81 you thought she was “aging gracefully” when she was in her early 30s???

Do we have a plastic surgeon here who has a qualified opinion? This is botched work, right? She used to look so beautiful. I really had a crush on her a long time ago. Now she looks like Odo from Deep Space 9.

She was in a car accident and hospitalized

I don't think she's had any significant work done to her face except for maybe some fat injections. If she was devoted to facial enhancements she would have gotten rid of those terrible eyelids a long time ago and she would have had fat injections to those razor skinny lips.

She started looking older when I saw her in THE SESSIONS.

This thread title sounds like the name of a latter day Ruth Gordon movie.

Helen should reboot "Harold and Maude" with Froy Gutierrez.

If she fell off the face of the earth, the poor dear appears to have landed on her face....

She looks like the latest Halloween witch from Hocus Pocus.

She looks monstrous.

She paid a plastic surgeon to make her look like that?

Hope she sues for malpractice.

*SQUEE*! at the Movie you linked @R40.

I don’t think she’s had plastic surgery. I think that’s why she looks so awful. She looks like herself, just much older.

Justine Bateman is an actress who’s decided not to have plastic surgery and she looks pretty terrible, but she owns it. People were yelling, “What has she done to her face?” Well…. nothing

What is wrong with her eyelids? They seem collapsed and paper thin.

R95 Actually if she looked like herself, only much older, she wold look like an older, more wrinkled version of herself (like Justine Bateman does). She does not. She looks like she has an unwrinkled face made of dough.

What inheritance money? Is she a nepo baby?

Is she related to E. Howard Hunt?

Well, if you flew out of a plate glass window in high school your face would be a bit messy too. Si?

[quote] Is she a nepo baby?

Helen Hunt is a nepo baby.

her father, Gordon Hunt, was a film, voice and stage director and acting coach. Her uncle, Peter H. Hunt, was also a director. Her maternal grandmother, Dorothy (Anderson) Fries, was a voice coach.

TBH, that’s fairly low on the nepo totem pole. She earned her keep early on as a very strong child actress.

She was rich and connected, R107. Her father worked on literally hundreds of tv shows and scores of video games.

[quote] Her maternal grandmother, Dorothy (Anderson) Fries, was a voice coach.

Did she teach vocal fry?

You’ve no evidence of how “rich.” When Helen was coming of age he only video game was Pong!

She's working on her memoir: "In Jodie's Shadow: My Life As A Foster Wannabe".

She guest starred on The Bionic Woman. She sucked.

NOW we know what happened to her face

R107 a day late & a dollar short

It was blatantly obvious that she did have some work done before the Made About You 2 episodes. Her cheekbones are very unnatural and did not suit her. The only thing she probably needed to address are the droopy eyelids which she had even when younger but got progressively worse as she aged. My neighbor had the same problem with her eyelids and had a minor surgery after age 50 and she looks fine.

Is she Mike Hunt's sister?

On the battle of the late 90's stars--

Bridget Fonda > Helen Hunt

Stop it, cunts.

Lezzie face. She looks happy

Don’t know why people insist she’s had plastic surgery when her face and neck are full of wrinkles. Why would you have plastic surgery and leave all those wrinkles?

Lez?

Hank Azaria was hot in The Birdcage. Was he dating HH during that period?

Her mouth always seems so tense. Meth/coke mouth? She really could use some Real Housewife lip injections, it would be totally justified.

I guess Hank was not living with Helen when they were dating because their marriage fell apart quite quickly.

Slavery officially ended in the US in 1863. You do not "own" HH or any other person who stops producing whatever you love them for. This is not your decision to make. So if Greta Garbo, Doris Day, Tuesday Weld or John Lennon (shouldn't have come back) decides to take a powder, that is THEIR business.

R119 flunked US History more than once….Jeezus!

Leelee Sobieski -- behold the countenance of your future self!

In all of the pictures at R112, she has that line parallel to her upper lip. Not very becoming. Someone upthread compared it to Errol Flynn's mustache.

Peter H. Hunt was the director of the movie, 1776.

Not sure what constitutes a nepo baby but she was/is related to successful people in the industry, which is a lot more of an ‘in’ than someone who is not connected to anyone in the industry. Not a hrad concept to grasp.

*hard

Try harder R124–

R126 Explain your comment? I was actor who stared out with zero connections. None of my friends had any. I would have loved to have had an uncle who was a successful film/TV director. I forget what her other connections are, but you don’t need to be a genius to figure out being connected to a director making movies and big TV shows is what every actor would want.

Cry me a river. She was booking gigs from the pre-teens. She made it on her talent.

Yes—her parents got her the MTMS. Her aunt got her an afternoon special. her uncle got her Mad About You. Her cousin got her Twister. Her second cousins all got together and won her an Oscar.

Get real about getting reel.

She'd look fine if she would darken her brows, lashes and lips. Although she doesn't really have lips, does she?

If she had lips, Greg’s puny cocklet would get lost in the flesh.

Idiot

Does she go to fan conventions to sign copies of Twister? If I was on line and saw her up close I would back away slowly then run.

SMELL Miss R119!

She demands it!

It’s fitting she looks like the Wicked Witch of the West. She did go through a twister.

It wouldn’t kill her to show her teeth when she smilies, and to fake a spark of warmth behind her eyes.

Her face is plumper and she looks rested and refreshed

Rep 120: Just got off the phone with Candace Bergen. She was crying tears of joy. Her father died many years ago. I told her MORTIMER SNERD was alive, kicking and using your hands to make "intellectually challenged" posts. Unlike the real Mortimer, who knew he was stupid, you think you are clever. You're no Charlie McCarthy. Charlie and Mortimer were dummies, as are you.

Please Candy and Mortimer—y’all tell us dumb folks how slavery ended in 1963…without using the words emancipation or proclamation, cause even us dumb folks know them words ain’t gonna help your cause.

*1863 but you will try to make that typo important

R129 Don’t like to insult people but are y’all dumbasses? Getting your foot in the door to meet people and getting auditions is WAY easier if your know anyone. Show business isn’t like you go to law school and pass exams and go for interviews and get hired somewhere based on your qualifications. No one said connections helped win acting awards. It helps you get an advantage over other people to have a career at the beginning (and sometimes later).

She got her foot in the door at age 6. At what point in her career would you allow that her own talent booked her the gig? Is she still depending on her connections to book roles to this day?—cause that’s what your reply suggests.

R141 Again, do you hear yourself? You think she got her foot in the door at age 6 due to nepotism and then they said, “Never again, Helen! You’re on your own from now on!” I would say she relied on her connections whenever necessary until she established herself sufficiently. Now she’s probably some relative’s connection.

“until she established herself sufficiently…” approx 45 years ago and counting.

Helen demanded an acting career. Her parents said, “Honey, we can’t use our connections to get you a job as a child actor at age 6. Everyone knows children in show business need to book their own gigs through their own agents. We suggest you get off the kindergarten bus in town and transfer to a bus that will take you to the talent agencies. Go door to door until you find an agency willing to take you on. Then audition, audition, audition! Try out for everything your agent sends you!”

And that’s just what Helen did. She was a determined, talented, adorable little girl who refused to be told no. She very quickly became a Hollywood favorite. Her parents were very proud Helen had taken the initiative to be a star.

She looks like Burt Mustin.

R144 you were so close. FIFY

Helen’s mom suggested an acting career. Her parents said, “Honey, we can use our connections to get you a job as a child actor at age 6. If you succeed, then most intelligent people will know that at some point teenagers in show business need to book their own gigs through their own agents. We helped by taking suggest you to the talent agencies. At that point all we can do is encourage you to audition, audition, audition! Try out for everything your agent sends you!” And that’s just what Helen did. She was a determined, talented, adorable little girl who refused to be told no. She very quickly became a Hollywood favorite. Her parents were very proud Helen had taken the initiative to be a star.

Does she eat a lot of ass?

Is she still with Mandy Ingber?

Helen Hunt has looked older than her years for decades. She always looked "withered" even 20 or so years ago. But that could be down to genetics. She looks elderly now.

She was never exactly appealing, and had the personality of a piece of wood. I am convinced Hollywood gave her an Oscar so that they could put her out to pasture and not feel guilty for ignoring her thereafter.

She had that "every girl" look in the early eighties when that look was popular. That, and the somewhat slight ability to act kept her around.

What does Leelee Sobieski look like now?

(PS - Her mom is a film producer and screenwriter who was also her manager. Leelee also took herself to Hollywood as a child)

I remember when our former “Quarterback Princess” was said to be the most downloaded woman on the internet. She held the title until deposed by Courtney Thorne-Smith.

Remember when she "dated" Kevin Spacey?

Helen stole Kev from Dianne, who confronted her and asked, "Whatever happened to pay it forward, bitch??"

R24, did you grow up to be a barista at Starbucks?

Jodie and Helen do have one thing in common; undeserved Oscars.

I can tell you what's not up. Her eyelids.

This clip is from just last month. She doesn't look bad at all, really - just a little older. That ain't no crime, except in Hollywood. In her case, though, maybe just a bit of a non-drastic lip procedure wouldn't be a bad idea. What would help - some collagen injections?

She’s aging naturally trolls. With luck you will too.

She needs more humor about herself. I think she'd find more roles if she had a sassy, older person doesn't give a shit anymore vibe.

But she's way too serious.

I think the angle of the picture makes her look worse. She looks better in r158 pic, but her eyelids almost look like they’re swollen shut. She definitely needs some work there. They really add years to her appearance.

OMG - I thought that was actually a picture of Helen Hunt’s grandmother.

Her face jumped into the final frontier… 🎶

It's like every single woman in front of a camera plumps up their lips with filler. And so many men do to. Its rampant in Hollywood. But not Jody or Helen. The two that actually, desperately need lips won't do it. We can add Savannah Guthrie to the list, too.

Weren's she and Helen Slater lovers? I thought so.

Caneface.

I thought she was good in that movie where she plays a special needs teen runner.

I hate that inflated lips and asses have become normalized. People who have average or smaller asses are now looked down upon. On here, Sharon Stone comes to mind. And Jodie Foster has had the same lips her whole life and no one has complained but since this normalization of fake lips, her lips are now less than. It’s BS.

Her lips would be fine if she could get rid of that clenching expression she clearly can't get rid of.

Her lips are not fine. They don't exist.
