Career

Bianca Hunter's first appearance was an uncredited role at the age of 3 in a scene with Al Pacino in Serpico (1973), directed by Sidney Lumet.[2] In 1986, she was asked by Madonna to appear along with Danny Aiello and Debi Mazar in the music video of her song "Papa Don't Preach". Then at 18, Bianca played Karen Hill's (Lorraine Bracco) best friend in the wedding scene in Goodfellas but was cut out. By her early 20s, after seeing her harrowing portrayal of a teen being sexually harassed by Harvey Keitel in Abel Ferrara's Bad Lieutenant (1992), Steve Buscemi cast her in his directorial debut Trees Lounge (1996). She has gone on to appear in a dozen independent films.

Personal life

Shortly before her 20th birthday Hunter married NYC punk band Reagan Youth guitarist and co-founder Paul Bakija and is credited as Bianca Bakija in her first two movie roles. She is now married to her third husband Robert MacNaughton, who portrayed Elliot's older brother in E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. They were set up on a blind date by mutual friend, MacNaughton's E.T. co-star Drew Barrymore when Hunter was a teenager.[3] Together they have four sons, Henry, Harley, Hunter, and Noah.[4]

gollark: No.
gollark: Sure, but it does mean that you need to mine or sell stuff for ages to get one.
