It's hard not to like a celebrity like Holly Hunter. Her infectious personality and spunky energy shine through in interviews, while her command of her craft permits her to keep those traits -- like all her others -- under control if the part she's portraying demands it. Although Hunter's single greatest claim to fame is her Oscar-winning embodiment of mute immigrant mother Ada McGrath in Jane Campion's The Piano (1993), her trump card as an actress is versatility. Whether she's playing a comically hyperactive, baby-snatching cop (Raising Arizona) or a twisted sexpot (Crash), Hunter steals almost every scene she's in.
