    NOTES ON JEFFREY HUNTER AND HIS FILMS by Jim Meyer "Jeffrey Hunter is beautiful!" a girl friend gurgled to me some 15 years ago. And indeed he was, as any man not envious of Hunter's impressive 6' 1" height and blue-eyed, brown-haired handsomeness must admit. As is well enough known, many film actors have little more to offer audiences than handsomeness. But far too many critics (men and women alike) too quickly tabbed the exceptionally hand- some actor "beautiful but bland." But teen-age girls didn't mind. Many didn't care whether he could act. In Jeffrey Hunter they saw (or thought they saw) a dream prince, a husky young god, who could fulfill their most imaginative fantasies. Less dazzled male viewers saw something else: a man who was handsome enough for them to resent, largely, one suspects, because many of them wished that his good looks belonged to them, and, not being able to measure up, consoled themselves by insisting that he couldn't act and wouldn't last long in films. Obviously, Hunter had to work twice as hard as many another actor of his type to prove he was a good actor. I believe he succeeded although he never became a superstar. Did Hunter's good looks make him arrogant, overbearing, and hard to work with? Possibly not, when one recalls that Jean Peters, a co-star of his, once went out of her way to observe that his courtesy toward and consideration for her would be remarkable anywhere but especially in Hollywood.

  • Jeffrey Hunter: the Eyes Have It
    THE WAY THEY WERE By Walter H. Hogan Success and hypnotic good looks never changed the young star who left behind a legacy of some of the most solid performances seen in Hollywood. hen the eyes of Hollywood are upon you, three pair W come immediately to mind— the eyes of Elizabeth Taylor, Paul Newman and Jeffrey Hunter. As a matter of fact, it was the near hypnotic effect of Hunter's blue blue eyes (along with his sincerity, rugged strength, and personal integrity) that won for him, over scores of candidates, the role of the Savior in Samuel Bronston's 1961 production of King of Kings. Henry H. McKinnies, Jr., was born in New Orleans, La., on November 25, 1927—the year Paramount released Cecil B. DeMille's silent version of King of Kings, starring British-born H.B. Warner as Christ. And thirty-three years later Henry, known to family and close Hollywood friends as "Hank" and to marquees and fans as Jeffrey Hunter, would be in Spain heading an international cast in the role many critics would consider the most noteworthy of his career. Hunter and wife attend a Hollywood affair. He shares a scene with Dan Dailey in Call Me Mister. And though he never hit superstar- dom in his cut-short life (he died May 27, 1969 at the age of 41), he left behind a pretty strong list of solid, believable, convincing performances that garnered more critical ayes than nays over the eighteen years. "When you see The Searchers you'll agree with me that Jeff Hunter is a fine actor," wrote Louella Parsons in May of '56.

  • A Tribute to Jeffrey Hunter
    JEFFREY HUNTER HOLLYWOOD'S MOST HANDSOME ALL-ROUND ACTOR By Gregor Hauser In the year 1925 many future Hollywood stars were born: Paul Newman, Rock Hudson, Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon and Jeffrey Hunter. Even though Jeff probably was as talented as Jack, better looking than Rock, with brighter blue eyes than Paul's, got his first leading role earlier than Tony and had the best qualifications of all, he remained by far the most unknown and most undervalued actor of the five. The following strives to substantiate how unfair that is. Jeffrey, born on November 25, was the son of a well off engineer. It was customary in the family to carry over the name of the father to the son. So the offspring also was christened Henry Herman McKinnies (Jr). The family moved four years after his birth from New Orleans to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, a big city near Chicago. Ever since his schooldays Henry took an interest in Theatre and Radio and engaged in both fields during the summer months. Henry must have been a committed and popular student, because he was chosen as class spokesman and later as head boy. Moreover, he was a talented football player and co-captain of his team. After he finished high school he was pulled out of this intimate environment when he was inducted. There is nothing known of Jeffrey's war experiences, except that he joined the Navy in 1945 and was discharged in 1946. With a scholarship in his pocket he resumed his studies and graduated from the Northwestern University in Illinois.
