BUCKiT® #35-Bonnie Hunt: Actress/Comedian/Director/Writer
Comedian and actress, Bonnie Hunt is best known for her memorable supporting roles in big budget movies and as the star of her own multiple sitcoms, for almost 30 years. Cheaper by the Dozen, Jerry Maguire, The Bonnie Hunt TV show and Life with Bonnie are just a few films and series that have made this Chicago native a household name and famous for being the first female to write, produce, and star in her own series, The Building, co-produced by David Letterman. Most recently Bonnie has taken on a role as a no-nonsense inspector in the true story of the 2015 Clinton Correctional Facility escape in upstate New York. An escape that prompted a massive manhunt for the two convicted murderers, who were helped by a married female prison employee. It’s gritty, it’s powerful and addictive. I was excited to catch up with Bonnie, who had escaped herself from the cold of Chicago, to talk about the riveting Showtime series and to learn more about this compassionate and heartfelt actor, director and all round great human being.
