I just looked up Ms. Marsha Hunt and was fascinated by her stamina and acting ability! Even tho she is not the "star" she could have been, due to the blacklisting of the 50's, she is beautiful insided and out, and will always be a "star" to me! Thanks for posting her address, Roger.

I thought I had seen most of the attractive actresses over the years,not at all impressed by the current plastic surgery crowd. I recently watched The Human Comedy and was swept off my feet by Marsha Hunt,what a beautiful woman,and good actress,she was so fun to watch,I cant believe I have not heard more of her from "movie" persons . It was very interesting and sad to read that she was caught up in the RED Scare nonsense.What an interesting and useful life she led even after being treated so badly,she must have been an extraordinary person. Cant wait to watch more of her movies.Too bad we dont have more like her!

I have been a fan of Marsha's since I read her book The way we wore:styles f the 1930's and 40's and our world since then. What she wrote about giving up gloves and hats as fashions changed made me feel for her. I am younger (wasn't born when they were popular) but always wished these items were still in style. I have vintage gloves and hats I wwear them anyway! i am trying to watch every movie with Marsha that I can get my hands on! I am glad I found this website.

This young actress stood up to the bullying of the Congressional Committee in search of sensatonal publicity as they tore apart the established careers of great actors and directors. It was a shameful sight to see film super stars grovvel in front of the committee. Marsh stood her ground and told them to their face that what they were doing was un Constitunal. I have the greatest admiration for this woman. To me Marsha hunt is the embodyment of the term "charcter."

I have always been a big fan and I am especially sympathetic in regards to the blacklist. It was a terrible time in this country and I am so sorry for the talented and bright people that suffered during it. It's wonderful to see that Marsha Hunt thrived and stayed committed to all of her good work of helping others around the world. And she still looks fantastic. I guess that's what comes from being beautiful inside and out. How wonderful to find this web site! I have always been a big fan and I am especially sympathetic in regards to the blacklist.
