Kim Hunter (1922-2002) was an American actress who left an indelible mark in two very different registers of cinema. She won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her Stella in 'A Streetcar Named Desire', alongside Marlon Brando, in one of the peaks of postwar drama. Decades later she achieved popular fame as the simian scientist Zira in the 'Planet of the Apes' saga. Her career, marred by the McCarthy-era blacklists, was distinguished by a warmth and an emotional intelligence that pierced even the most elaborate makeup.
