Inscribed Printed Photograph Signed in Ink: "To Jim -/ With all/good wishes,/Kim Hunter", in blue felt tip, B/w 8x10. Kim Hunter (1922-2002), born Janet Cole in Detroit, Michigan, made her film debut in 1943 in The Seventh Victim. Four years later, she created the role of Stella Kowalski in the Broadway production of Tennessee Williams' A Streetcar Named Desire. Hunter reprised the role in the 1951 film version, winning the Best Supporting Actress Oscar. Blacklisted during the McCarthy era, she was later the star witness in a trial that discredited the charges, paving the way for dozens of other performers to return to their careers. In one of her first roles as McCarthyism dissolved, she co-starred in the television play Requiem for a Heavyweight, part of Rod Serling's Playhouse 90 series. This particular episode of the series received multiple Emmy Awards and a Peabody Award. It was later turned into a feature-length film. Later in her career, Hunter concentrated largely on stage and television work, but also starred in the original Planet of the Apes films (1968, 1970, 1971). Corners lightly worn and creased. Surface creases on margins from moisture damage. Toned on margins. Otherwise, fine condition.
