Marsha Hunt | 10/17/1917 | 104

Marsha Hunt is the oldest living and one of the last surviving actors from the Golden Age of Hollywood. She is an actress, model, and activist, whose career spans more than seven decades. At 104 years old, Hunt is now the most senior living member of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences.

The degree of Hunt’s fame back then was beyond impalpable. She conquered the big screen from the late ‘30s to the early ‘70s. Her most known films are Born to the West, Pride and Prejudice, Kid Glove Killer, and more. However, the Hollywood film studio executives blacklisted her in the ‘50s, but she never let it bring her down. Hunter did philanthropic works, becoming active in humanitarian causes to fight world hunger. She also supported same-sex marriage and raised awareness about climate change. Hunter even promoted peace in Third World countries, making her time worthwhile despite being blacklisted.
