Holly Wortell (born December 19, 1964) is an American comedic actress and longtime friend of Bonnie Hunt. She has been a regular on each of Ms. Hunt's sitcoms (The Building, The Bonnie Hunt Show, and Life With Bonnie), all three times playing a vain, promiscuous character named "Holly." In addition, she has had supporting or bit parts in several feature films Ms. Hunt has appeared in (Beethoven, Beethoven's 2nd, and Return to Me). Her few non-Bonnie related roles include a guest spot on Curb Your Enthusiasm "Entourage" and a national advertising campaign for Kraft Macaroni & Cheese.
Wortell met Hunt in the mid-80's Chicago improvisational comedy scene, where they formed a three woman comedy troupe called “An Impulsive Thing” with Joan Cusack. Wortell also joined the cast of The Second City mainstage in 1989 (the same year as Chris Farley and Tim Meadows), headlining for several seasons.
As of the fall of 2006, Wortell is teaching improv classes at The Second City Los Angeles.
