This talented lady and Detroit native, commemorated twice on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, was a 20^th^ century cultural touchstone no less than three times in her long career...

  • winning an Academy Award for her iconic role as Stella in Kazan's 1951 film version of Tennessee Williams' A Streetcar Named Desire, the role she played in the original Broadway production
  • getting (literally) into the skin of Prof. Zira of the original 1968 Planet of The Apes movie series ("...but you're so damned ugly.")
  • adding that Emmy Award nominated touch of class to classic daytime soap opera The Edge of Night as Nola Madison

Ms Hunter, born today in 1922, would have celebrated her 100^th^ birthday but, unfortunately, passed away September 11, 2002.
