All I can say is, that if it wasn’t Helen Hunt’s voice and likeness used in “The Incredibles”, that her lawyers should contact the movie makers regarding “personality rights”.

On the contrary, Edna Mode was voiced by Brad Bird, the director of The Incredibles.

So spot on. In fact, when I saw the incredibles and Edna Mode appeared, the first thing that I thought was “she looks *just* like Linda Hunt!”

Yeah, I was confused at first when I saw this little old lady in the new NCIS, because she did look familiar. I did some research and found out that she played the voice of the little old lady in The Incredibles. I found it hilarious lol.

Brad Bird did Edna’s voice, and it’s not the first time a Pixar director stumbled into voicing a character: I believe it was John Lassiter who directed Finding Nemo, and did the voice of Crush, the Sea Turtle. They were having trouble finding an actor who had a good take on the voice, and finally realized that Lassiter had the best take of all. ( I could be wrong about it being Lassiter who directed and did the voice, though)

Actually, try catching NCIS: Los Angeles. Linda Hunt is a regular cast member and her character in there is modeled after Edna Mode; here character supplies and designs the wardrobe that the NCIS agents wear on certain missions.

Yeah, wasn’t it the director or producer who voiced her?

Well, yes, since that was also Linda Hunt. She seems to resemble herself in pretty much every role she plays.

According to the wiki for Edna Mode… Edna’s hairstyle, ultra-diminutive stature, and facial features also resemble actress Linda Hunt’s fashion editor character Regina Krumm, in Robert Altman’s 1994 film Prêt-à-Porter

Yes, Edna Mode was somewhat modeled after Edith Head.

By the way, there a famous bit of grafitti in a Hollywood studio wardrobe storage room:

EDITH HEAD GIVES GOOD COSTUME

Edna Mode reminds me of costume designer Edith Head both in appearance and some mannerisms.

Nope Brad Bird did the voice.

That’s a great story. In an interview on TV I heard someone (Ithink the director) say that people kept going up to him and saying, “You’ve based that character on XXX, haven’t you” and mentioning a particular person. He swears the character wasn’t based on any one individual.

I read somewhere that he had actually asked for Lily Tomlin, and when she was auditioning, he kept telling her how to do the voice – to which she replied that he was doing it perfectly, so why shouldn’t he do it? So he did.

But it may be a legend, who knows
