The TV persona didn't state when she will be back which is why fans can't stop wondering if the time is now. The Oscars award-winning TV star is dearly missed on the show for her outstanding performance and bringing Hetty Lange to life.
Hunt is a successful actress in the movie industry even though she never knew she'd make it this big. The CBS actress originally wanted to be a stage director because she thought that "her small stature would limit acting opportunities," per TV Guide. Now, she has fruitful 43 years of experience under her belt.
