Spectrum's revival of 'Mad About You' finds Helen Hunt in the limelight again. But on-screen and behind the camera, she's been working away all along.

My real hope is that wonderful writers and directors will say, ‘She can do so much more than we’ve seen. I’m going to put her in this part that no one would ever think of.’ This is why being well-known is a curse.
