Long before the recent immigrant wave to television, Hunter led a charge of high-end film actors, particularly women, seeking out more fertile terrain when she began starring as a wild-child detective in “Saving Grace” nearly a decade ago.īut since the TNT show went off the air in 2010, Hunter has been lightly heard from. Where the actress has been more figuratively, however, is less clear. The Georgia native headed west, to Mississippi, in Katherine Dieckmann's film so she could play Darcy - a professor and grieving single mom who embarks on a road trip to track down her late son's business rival.īoth the role and the performance are so specific they might well be called Hunter-ian: at once strong and human, her signature hybrid of vulnerable and unbreakable. Hunter had been in the middle of talking about her new movie, “Strange Weather,” a Toronto International Film Festival premiere in which she gives one more standout performance amid a lifetime of them. Satisfied with the furniture equilibrium, she sprang back upright. A mischievous smile danced on her lips as she gazed across the room to a team of publicists and assistants - half-expecting, half-seeking their horror.
“Does that work?” she asked in her low-country accent, as she extended her arms and neck to get the balance right. The restaurant table was a little wobbly, so Holly Hunter did what every 58-year-old Oscar-winning actress in an elegant outfit would do: she folded up a packet of papers and got down on the floor to fix it.
