The 73-year-old Oscar winner has been missing this season as she recovers from a July 2 car accident, which left her with "no serious injuries." “I first want to say how much I appreciate the outpouring of support from the NCIS: Los Angeles fans following my car accident this summer,” Hunt said in a statement obtained by TVLine. “Though I had hoped to return to playing Hetty at the start of the season, I had to take some additional time to recover. I look forward to returning later this season.”
