‘NCIS: Los Angeles’ Star Linda Hunt Reveals Why She’s Disappeared From The Show This Season
NCIS: Los Angeles has been missing a very important character this season. Henrietta “Hetty” Lange, the diminutive yet powerful Operations Director of the crime-solving unit has not made an appearance so far, which has caused concern for fans who love the character. According to Parade Magazine, the character’s absence was caused by a car crash involving the actress who plays her, Linda Hunt.
In July 2018, Hunt crashed into a sedan and then an SUV as she was trying to make a left turn, TMZ reports. Residents nearby helped her out of the wreck, guiding her to a lawn chair where she could recover. Hunt was later hospitalized. The other drivers sustained minor injuries.
In her first statement after the accident, she described the crash as ‘minor.’
