Helen Hunt is an Academy Award winning actress who has found success on television the big screen and in the theatre. This week, with the release of Then She Found Me, she makes her movie directorial debut.
Hunt came a very strong acting back ground as her father and uncle were directors and her grandmother a voice coach. She began her career as a child actress appearing in The Mary Tyler Moore Show and television series Swiss Family Robinson.
She moved into movies both for television and the silver screen and her breakthrough came in 1996 when she starred in disaster film Twister with Bill Paxton.
Twister chronicles one day in the life of a band of gung-ho "storm chasers," who track and follow twisters and tornadoes.
The group, led by the gutsy Jo and her macho, soon-to-be-ex Bill, have invented "Dorothy," a tank containing sensors that can provide much-needed info about these mysterious, severe weather conditions.
But in order for Dorothy to work, she first must be swallowed by a twister. So Jo, Bill, and the gang put their lives on the line innumerable times, as getting close to the storm means dodging everything from windswept cattle to flying oil tankers.
For Jo and Bill in particular, making meteorological history means having firsthand experience of the inside of a twister...
