LINDA HUNT – 76 YEARS OLD

Linda Hunt made history after portraying a character that is intended for a male artist. She convincingly played Billy Kwan in the 1982 romantic drama film The Year of Living Dangerously. Credits to the talent she showed in the film, she won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress and she was the very first person to win an Oscar after portraying a role for the opposite gender. Her career took flight after that and she never looked back.

Unfortunately, Linda was involved in a wild accident in LA. Luckily she was able to sort out her insurance coverage and then returned to work after a few months off. Now that she has slowly retreated from the entertainment industry, her retirement may have been due in part to her home life with her wife, Karen Klein. They married in 2008, when same-sex marriage was legalized in California. They are still together and can often be seen walking around town holding hands.
