Kim Hunter... actress who I'm guessing not many people will recall what she looks or sounds like (she was very girl next door and her name means she gets mixed up with Kim Stanley) but was consistently good in an incredible amount of classics.
1) The Seventh Victim (1943) - brilliant Val Lewton devil worship movie
2) A Matter of Life and Death (1946) - Powell/Pressberger masterpiece
4) Streetcar Named Desire (1951) - she's Stella
5) Planet of the Apes (1968) - brilliant as Dr Zira in this and the two sequels
6) Lilith (1964) - fascinating Robert Rossen film with Jean Seberg's possibly best performance
7) The Swimmer (1968) - Burt Lancaster mid life crisis classic
8 ) Storm Centre (1956) - a brave anti-anti-Communist movie
9) The Young Stranger (1957) - moody teen drama based on TV play very well done
10) Tender Comrade (1943) - allegedly pro communist blockbuster
I can't think of any other actress with such remarkable credits, including an Oscar, who is so little remembered.
