HI BRUCE Helen Hunt has always reminded me as being a kind of Meryl Streep with sex appeal. Helen had a real strong purple patch from about 1992 – 2000 with the TV series you mention and a run of films that included 4 blockbusters – Twister, As Goods as It Gets, Castaway and What Women Want.
I don’t like films about isolation such as Castaway, nor do I favour films about violent forces of nature – heck I wouldn’t even go to see my George in The Perfect Storm! – so I am familiar with her in just the other two of those 4 especially the Nicholson one.
Since 2000 her box office has been abysmal with half a dozen of her movies going straight to DVD/Video according to The Numbers, thus not mentioned in your table, and maybe it was that awful Dr T and the Women which you rightly give just a 53% critical rating and a 23.8 UMR score which burst Helen’s bubble in terms of movie stardom.
The 9 post-2000 films mentioned in your table grossed a mere 120 million in adjusted domestic dollars according to your figures [a miserable 13.3 approx per movie] and one other movie 2014’s Decoding Annie Parker made an actual worldwide cross of just 40,000 dollars and no doubt that’s why you never bothered to mention that one either.
However according to IMDB Helen earned across the board 47 acting awards and 67 nominations and her personal net financial worth is in excess of $60 million[most of it coming from her TV work] so she certainly can be regarded as having overall a highly successful career that has entitled her to a Cogerson page. Therefore “Vote Up”
PS I always learn something completely new to me from your new pages – I didn’t know before that Helen had worked with my Richard [in 1977 Rollercoaster]
