How tall is Linda Hunt?

With that said, that hasn’t stopped Linda Hunt from achieving her dream. She eventually realized that there was somewhere she could feel taller—on stage. Describes her first experience with theater as “bigger than a lifetime”, according to CBS Sunday MorningHunt explains that because she “desperates to be bigger than life,” acting is an outlet to “get over all the other feelings you’re feeling.”

“You know what I think it is? That I can pretend to be anything,” she concluded. But first, she had to find her voice. “When I was 16, no one else spoke like me. No one else spoke like me,” Hunt said, referring to her more authoritative voice. When asked if he was confident in that, Hunt replied: “Oh, absolutely possible. That makes me big.”
