BONNIE
HUNT

Bonnie Hunt is an American actor, comedian, writer and director born in Chicago on 22 September 1961. Her work combines improvisational comedy with film, television and animated voice performances.

Before pursuing comedy full time, Hunt worked as an oncology nurse. She performed with Chicago’s Second City, a background that helped shape the conversational quality of her comedy.

Her live-action film roles include Jumanji (1995), Jerry Maguire (1996) and The Green Mile (1999). In these different settings she often brings a grounded presence to scenes shared with larger ensembles.

Hunt also wrote and directed the romantic film Return to Me (2000). For television she created, wrote and produced Life with Bonnie, in addition to acting in the series.

Her animation work includes Sally in the Cars films and Dolly in Toy Story 3 and Toy Story 4. The voices extend her comic timing into characters whose personalities are expressed without an on-camera performance.
