Linda Hunt's Quotes
- Everybody either wanted to take care of me or push me around, you know? I was teased a lot, sure I was, of course. Fourth grade, fifth grade, sixth grade, everybody was taking their spurts except me. I was not growing up.
- When I was 16, nobody else talked like me. Nobody else sounded like me.
- What's it like being opposite Arnold Schwarzenegger? For me? Are you kidding? Maybe if I'm lucky, come up to his navel!
- When I was growing up, particularly during puberty in my teen years, I was so miserable because I elicited so much teasing and meanness from my teenage cohorts.
- I can't be a man. But I can embrace the head of a man, the intelligence of a man, the spirit of a man.
Interesting Facts about Linda Hunt

- Has twice played male roles that did not feature or reference her actual female status: Billy Kwan in The Year of Living Dangerously (1982) and The Management in CarnivΓ le (2003) (who, though mostly unseen, is often referred to by other characters as male).
- Was nominated for Broadway's 1984 Tony Award as Best Actress (Play) for Arthur Kopit's "End of the World."
- Ranked #9 on Tropopkin's Top 25 Most Intriguing People [Issue #100]

- Was the 88th actress to receive an Academy Award; she won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for The Year of Living Dangerously (1982) at The 56th Annual Academy Awards (1984) on April 9, 1984.
- (July 2, 2018) She was hospitalized after a serious car wreck in Hollywood. Hunt was driving a black BMW SUV and tried making a left turn. An eyewitness says Hunt struck a sedan, then collided with a Honda SUV. Hunt was visibly shaken, and witnesses escorted her to a lawn chair on the sidewalk.
