Holly Hunter Takes Us Inside 8 of Her Favorite Roles

According to EW columnist Stephen King, there are at least four actors who are always cool — even in bad movies: Jack Nicholson, Morgan Freeman, the late John Cassavetes, and Holly Hunter. Watch the second season premiere of TNT's Saving Grace (July 14 at 10 p.m. ET), and you'll understand why the Oscar winner still revels in playing the character Grace Hanadarko, the emotionally, verbally, and sexually explicit Oklahoma City investigator last seen holding a gun to the head of the priest who molested her when she was young. Hunter asked us nicely not to reveal how that little situation plays out — ''You cannot talk about that! You cannot write about that! You cannot blow it! YOU CANNOT! I command you!'' — so we had her dish on her other favorite roles, and the things that turn a role into a character.
