After seeing all of these Helen Hunt posts I just recalled that I met her about 6 years ago while visiting a friend of mine who was in a play in NYC. I went backstage to see him and when I entered the dressing room she was there and my friend said, "oh hi. Todd, this is Helen Hunt." I said hello, and, giving her my camera, asked her to take our picture.
Tacky, I know. Wasn't she in that movie "Girls just wanna have fun?" She wasn't as well known back then.
