She started in movies in the early 1940s, and also performed on stage, and she recreated her Broadway role as Stella in A Streetcar Named Desire (winner of the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film) on the screen, but then she was blacklisted, and that derailed her movie career. She had a major hit in The Planet of the Apes in 1967 (as Zira), and she appeared in many of the sequels, and did some TV movies and stage plays for the remainder of her career. Hunter passed away in 2002 at the age of 79. Important Added Info: Note that this item has been personally autographed (signed) by Kim Hunter! About the Collection this Item Comes From Note that this signed still (and 17 others) comes to us directly from the collection of Gary and Susan Svehla, who have been extremely active in the horror/sci-fi hobby for decades. Here is a brief biography of the Svehlas: In the summer of 1963, 13-year-old Gary Svehla published the first issue of his horror film fanzine, GORE CREATURES (which became MIDNIGHT MARQUEE in 1976 and continues to this day). By the end of 1963, Gary purchased his very first movie poster, an original Universal insert from GHOST OF FRANKENSTEIN, for which he paid $3.00. That was the beginning of Gary collecting horror and sci-fi movie material as well as the beginning of his collection of stills bought at conventions and from other collectors, which he used to illustrate his magazine. In 1986 Gary and his wife Susan sponsored the first FANEX horror and science fiction movie convention, which continued for 19 years. FANEX featured the greatest celebrities (actors, directors, special effects masters, etc.) from the horror film genre. Beginning in 1995 MIDNIGHT MARQUEE PRESS, INC. was created by Gary and Susan, an independent book publisher, which by 2010 published well over 100 titles. They have also produced and directed two independent horror films as well as releasing Feb. 2011 a 4-hour documentary, Midnight Madness, The History of Horror, Sci-Fi and Fantasy Films, based on the guest interviews from FANEX. All of the signed items from the Svehlas' collection were either obtained from guests at their shows, or were purchased from longtime friends, and we feel certain this autograph is genuine (note that many of the signed items from their collection are personalized to one or both of them). Note that each of the 18 items from this consignor all have this paragraph on them. Condition: very good. The dustjacket has some minor wear. Learn More about condition grades
