Marsha Hunt was presented with the
Awareness Award at the Burbank International
42
Horace Mann Magazine Summer 2016
Film Festival in September 2015 to honor her
life in film and social activism. The festival featured a gala closing-night premiere of "Marsha
Hunt's Sweet Adversity," a documentary about
the alumna's life as a movie star who appeared
in 54 films over 17 years, before her career was
sidelined by the infamous Hollywood blacklist
of the 1950s. Hunt continued to appear in films
and television shows sporadically, but focused
her life on a new role as a good-will ambassador for UNICEF and as an advocate for a
variety of causes. Producer Roger Memos
spent nine years researching and writing the
film, and included details and pictures from
Hunt's HM days. The film was named Best
Feature Documentary at the festival, and Hunt
delivered an inspiring speech upon receiving her award. https://www.dropbox.com/

98th birthday in October 2015, and, since
the film's premiere, has been appearing at
numerous film showings and addressing audiences flocking to hear from its subject, who
represents old school Hollywood glamor, and
is one of the last survivors of the blacklist era.
Hunt and the film continue to be recognized
with additional awards, including a Lifetime
Achievement Award at the Ojai Film Festival's
"Sweet Adversity" screening on November 15,
2015. The following day the film was named
Best Feature Documentary at the Studio City
International Film Festival. Hunt went on to a
flourishing career at MGM during the Golden
Age of Hollywood. One of Hollywood's first
celebrity activists, at age 98, Marsha is still
fighting for causes she believes in.
