Linda Hunt

Linda Hunt is the announcer for the KQED public radio lecture/interview show City Arts & Lectures. She speaks German, English, French, Italian and Russian fluently. Beside her acting abilities, her two most distinguishing characteristics are her small stature (she is 4' 9" or 1.45 m), and her rich, resonant voice which she has used effectively in numerous documentaries, cartoons, and commercials. Her oddest role is widely considered to be Susie the Bear in The Hotel New Hampshire, where her character essentially lives her life in a bear suit. Her movie debut was in the film Popeye. She has a daughter and a son with Ibrahim Moussa and a daughter with composer/producer Quincy Jones. Her best known roles are as the male half-Chinese dwarf Billy Kwan in the movie The Year of Living Dangerously (1982) (for which she won an Academy Award as Best Supporting Actress) and as Judge Zoey Hiller on the television series The Practice. Her most notable screen roles include the title role of Tess (1979), (directed by Roman Polanski, with whom she had a relationship during the shooting of the movie), Cat People (1982), Paris, Texas (1984), as Dudley Moore's love interest in Unfaithfully Yours (1984) and as Mathilde in À ton image (2004).
