Linda Hunt: Net Worth, Age, Height & Everything You Need To Know About The NCIS: Los Angeles Actor

Linda Hunt is an actor who’s been in the business for over 40 years, but it’s likely her late-career role as Operations Manager Henrietta “Hetty” Lange in NCIS: Los Angeles that is most responsible for her sizable net worth. Hunt made her film debut in 1980’s Popeye opposite Robin Williams, where she played Mrs. Oxheart. Just two years later, Hunt was taking home the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for her role as Billy Kwan in The Year of Living Dangerously. Hunt continued acting steadily over the decades, and in 2009 was cast in her most famous role, Hetty Lange.

Hunt was born Lydia Susanna Hunt in Morristown, New Jersey, though she grew up in Westport, Connecticut. She’s the youngest daughter of Raymond Davy Hunt, the former vice president for Harper Fuel Oil, and Elsie Doying Hunt, a piano teacher. She has one older sister, Marcia, and grew up enamored with the theater (via Britannica), beginning her career on the stage before transitioning into film and TV. In 2008, Hunt married psychotherapist Karen Kline, her long-term partner since 1978. NCIS: Los Angeles is Hunt’s last credited role, but with the size of her net worth, the actor can definitely retire.
