- <p> 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!
