- If you have trouble reaching Holly Hunter, she's probably
- working herself into character. Just ask her friend, playwright
- Beth Henley. The star of Broadcast News "isn't much fun when she's
- working," says Henley, who wrote both the original play and the
- screenplay of Miss Firecracker, Hunter's latest film, which is due
- in movie houses next month. "While we were shooting, I hung out and
- went for drinks with people, but Holly goes through a whole
- routine. She really holes up to concentrate." In the role of a
- catfish cleaner in quest of a local beauty title, says Henley,
- "Holly felt she had to work on a catfish farm even though that is
- never shown on screen. She's a perfectionist." If Hunter ever gets
- to play Medea, everyone run for cover!
