Bill Paxton with Helen Hunt in the movie “Twister”.
I remember seeing Bill Paxton in the movie “Twister” it was the first movie I saw on DVD. He was great as a storm chasing meteorologist. His role as a patriarch of a historic feuding family in the TV mini series “Hatfield’s and McCoy’s” was pretty spot on too. Paxton was also in “Apollo 13” with Tom Hanks. Most recently he was in a CBS TV show called “Training Day”. Paxton passed away at the age of 61 today. Thanks for the great movie memories.
Twenty years today this movie was released and it became one of the best weather disaster movies of the era. It still has relevance today. Academy Award winner Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton are excellent in this movie about a estranged couple who go out and to chase the big tornado. The late Philip Seymour Hoffman plays a great supporting role.
This is one of my favorite movies because of the action, the story, the effects and the actors.
