She was 104. A member of the union since 1938, Hunt performed in more than 50 films, including Paramount's Born to the West (1937) and MGM's These Glamor Girls (1939), Pride and Prejudice (1940), Blossoms in the Dust (1941), The Penalty (1941) and Pilot No. 5 (1943). Hunt served on the board of Screen Actors Guild from March 1945 to November 1947. In October 1947, just three months after the death of her newborn daughter, she fought to defend freedom of speech when she and her husband, screenwriter Robert Presnell Jr., joined the Committee for the First Amendment. Hunt and other actors on the Committee, including former SAG board member Humphrey Bogart and wife Lauren Bacall, traveled to the Washington, D.C., hearings of the House Committee on Un-American Activities in support of the First Amendment rights of the "Hollywood Ten." Her outspokenness cost her a place on the SAG board, as the nominating committee did not choose her to run as a candidate for re-election the following month. A longtime liberal but never a Communist, Hunt's thriving acting career largely came to a halt after her name appeared in the publication Red Channels: The Report of Communist Influence in Radio and Television in June 1950 — three months after she graced the cover of LIFE magazine. She was blacklisted, but she survived and put her energies into humanitarian works. In 2018, the union honored Hunt with the SAG-AFTRA Founders Award.
