Marsha Hunt, the film actress who was blacklisted after she fought the witch hunt for communists in Hollywood in the 1950s, has died at the age of 104.
An ex-model who appeared in The Human Comedy and Pride and Prejudice and appeared on the cover of Life, Hunt’s career fell apart after her name was printed in Red Channels, a compendium of entertainment-industry figures accused of being communist sympathizers.
Hunt was the last surviving person smeared by Red Channels, which included such luminaries as Lee J. Cobb, Lillian Hellman, and Leonard Bernstein.
