Helen Hunt won four Emmys for Mad About You and has starred in iconic films such as Twister and As Good as It Gets.

On Hacks, Hunt plays Jean Smart’s Deborah Vance , the first woman to host a major late-night talk show.

But sadly for Winnie , her success is what leads to Winnie Landell's demise.

Playing this role reminded me retroactively to have compassion for the strong women who've come in and had marching orders.

This dynamic speaks to how Hollywood projects have to balance art and commerce.

"I just love comedy. I’ve been really lucky in that way," she says.
