TENDER COMRADE MOVIE CAST: KIM HUNTER AND RUTH HUSSEY. Photograph signed: "Kim Hunter" and "Ruth Hussey". B/w, 10x8 overall, image 5½x4 (one surface). Scene from the 1943 WWII-era film starring Ginger Rogers as Jo, Ruth Hussey as Barbara and Kim Hunter as Doris. Robert Ryan also co-starred in the film, which was the second film Hunter made (she had debuted earlier that year in The Seventh Victim). Four years later, Kim Hunter (1922-2002), born Janet Cole, 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. Later in her career, Hunter concentrated largely on stage and television work, but appeared in the Planet of the Apes films (1968, 1970, 1971) and in Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil (1997). She was 79 when she died on September 11, 2002. RUTH HUSSEY (born in 1914) was nominated for Best Supporting Actress in 1940 for The Philadelphia Story. Although she appeared in a number of films, she found her greatest success on stage opposite Ralph Bellamy in the 1945 Broadway production of State of the Union. Hussey is the mother of Oscar-winning filmmaker John William Longenecker. Fine condition.
