Helen Hunt stands among the handful of working actors to win an Oscar, an Emmy and a Golden Globe — and she’s now part of the much-smaller subset who can surf!
Vacationing on the sandy beaches of Wailea, Hawaii, the sexy 53-year-old “Sessions” star showed her impressive skills, catching and riding multiple waves and emerging from the fierce Pacific in one piece.
Helen — whose award-winning turn in “As Good As It Gets” lived up to the film’s title — returned to TV earlier this season for a rare in-front-of-the-camera role on the Fox miniseries “Shots Fired.” The acclaimed actress successfully added directing to her resume back in the “Mad About You” days and remains in demand for high-profile episodic TV work.
The rare child star to not only survive but enjoy a flourishing adult career, Helen once credited her longevity to “not having incredible success for a long time.” For most fiftysomethings, looking great in a bikini — and surfing — would qualify as incredible successes!
