Marsha Virginia Hunt (born October 17, 1917) is a retired American film, theatre and television actress who was blacklisted by Hollywood movie studio executives in the 1950s.
Born Marcia Virginia Hunt, on October 17, 1917, in Chicago, Illinois, she later changed the spelling of her first name to Marsha. She was the younger of two girls born to Earl Hunt, who worked as a lawyer, and later, a Social Security Administrator. Minabel Hunt, her mother, worked as a vocal teacher and organist.
Hunt's family moved to New York City when she was young. Hunt began acting early, performing in school plays and church functions. She graduated from the Horace Mann High School for Girls in 1934, at only 16.
After graduation, Hunt's parents wanted to her to pursue a college degree, but Hunt, unable to "locate a single college or university in the land where you could major in drama before your third year", instead found work modeling for the John Powers Agency and began taking acting classes at the Theodora Irvine Studio for the theatre.

Leo was a ROCKSTAR in the Forties. Originally English, he grew his hair into a long white mane and SPURNED the baton (and in doing so, created front-room conductors World-wide, who did likewise, to records!) He worked right up to his death, at 95. If the music sounds familiar - it was mined for the love theme from "Vanishing Point" and Paul Hogan's TV show theme.

The Duke got his first real role in 1930 in The Big Trail. This movie, released December 10, 1937, was his 59th movie. Stagecoach (1939) was still 5 movies away. _"Hell Town" also known as "Born to the West" was one of the final entries in Paramount's "Zane Grey" series. A remake of the 1926 Jack Holt silent of the same name, the film stars John Wayne as an irresponsible cowpoke named Rudd, who is constantly being bailed out of trouble by his sensible trail-boss cousin Fillmore (Johnny Mack Brown). The limit comes when Rudd loses Fillmore's cattle money to crooked gambler Hammond (Monte Blue). For a while, it looks as though a showdown between the two cousins is the next logical step, but blood's much thicker than money. Thanks to an error made by the Paramount publicity department in 193...
