Linda Hunt in NCIS: Los Angeles (2009)
Academy Award winner Linda Hunt narrates a day in the life of Sharon as she struggles with her divorce and it's surreal aftermath. A visually stunning adaptation of Betty Malicoat's short story of the same name.

Part live action, part animation, 'The Crooked Eye' dreamily weaves between past and present, delicately painting a psychological portrait of a troubled woman.

Linda Hunt is a veteran character actress who had only just begun acting in motion pictures when director Peter Weir required her peculiarities to animate one of cinema's most esoteric characters, Billy Kwan, the intellectual and virtuous Chinese-Australian dwarf and photographer, in the Australian romantic drama, L'année de tous les dangers (1982). Hunt's work in the film earned an Oscar, among many critic awards, all for Best Supporting Actress.

    • Trivia
      The first actor to have won an Academy Award portraying a member of the opposite sex, she won the Best Actress in a Supporting Role Oscar for her role as Billy Kwan in L'année de tous les dangers (1982). Note this was not Linda Hunt playing a woman pretending to be a man, like Barbra Streisand did in Yentl (1983) or, in reverse, as Dustin Hoffman did in Tootsie (1982), but Hunt playing a man in a serious drama.
    • 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.
