Helen Hunt - The Sessions Interview with Tribute at TIFF 2012

Still a bombshell at almost 50, Helen Hunt graces our screens as sex surrogate Cheryl Cohen Greene in director Ben Lewin's latest film, "The Sessions." Helen talked to Tribute.ca about the prospect of her directing in the future and the chemistry between her and co-star John Hawkes. When asked about whether or not she was scared about taking on such a bold role, Hunt reveals her true feelings.

The Oscar winner, who has also won four Emmys, four Goldon Globes and countless other awards, portrays her sweet and loving, yet conflicted character perfectly, taking chances most women wouldn't dare. Alongside the amazing acting talents of Hawkes and William H. Macy, Hunt continues to prove why she has remained such a prominent presence in Hollywood.

She looks OK in this, yet in the movie itself she looked half starved... She SOUNDS fine, very strong in control intelligent etc. Who knows what's happening with her...?

I love you from Mad About You and I don't t hink there is anyone like her. That's why I watch her. She was amazing in Pay it Forward, and she was also good in the movie about the surfer who lost her arm from a shark bite...she's believable. That's all I can say. and I think she's adorable. She had dry mouth in this interview, someone get her a cup of water!

How exactly has Helen Hunt "remained such a prominent presence in Hollywood"? (Pardon me...I've probably missed it.)

"Still a bombshell"...holy hell...it's obvious that Helen thinks she's "still a bombshell" (which she isn't - I actually feel bad for her) & it's obvious that YOU still think she's "still a bombshell" but, really, where did u come up w/ all the "descriptors" you used?

So many great actresses have been rejected in the past - not sure why ur wasting time on HH. I like her...but...

[MariposaRedimida]

I am so watching this.
