| Holly Hunter was born in Conyers, Georgia, the daughter of Opal Marguerite (née
Catledge), a housewife, and Charles Edwin Hunter, a farmer and sporting-goods
manufacturer's representative. Hunter earned a degree in drama from Carnegie Mellon
University in Pittsburgh, after which she moved to New York City and roomed with
fellow actress Frances McDormand.
In 2008, Hunter described living in The Bronx as follows: "At the end of the D train, just off 205th Street, on Bainbridge Avenue and Hull Avenue. It was very Irish, and then you could go just a few blocks away and hit major Italian".
A chance encounter with playwright Beth Henley, when the two were trapped alone in an elevator, led to Hunter's being cast in Henley's plays Crimes of the Heart, and
Off-Broadway's The Miss Firecracker Contest. When she moved to Los Angeles, California, in 1982, Hunter shared a house with a group of people that included McDormand and director Sam Raimi, as well as future collaborators Joel and Ethan Coen.
