Jeffrey Hunter Video

[PLEASE READ] Behold the voluptuous woman: exotically dancing, bathing, sword-fighting, romancing, regally presiding, and pleading as a damsel in distress. You are watching actress Debra Paget in her (dual) role as Princess Shalimar/Taura in the 1954 Fox film PRINCESS OF THE NILE. Dazzling Debra Paget was a gifted, "exotica" actress who performed--with Romantic élan--in a tremendous variety of colorful roles in the 1950s. Debra's talents as an actress and dancer matched her physical beauty as a woman. Among her acting gifts was a rare ability to deliver her spoken lines with the most exquisite and compelling feminine grace. Onscreen, she is always a passionate presence of "banked fires." Whenever Debra Paget speaks, the words are molten. Also appearing in the film: Jeffrey Hunter as "the hero" Prince Haidi; Michael Rennie as "the villain" Rama Khan; Michael Ansara (a staple presence in films of this sort as well as actress Barbara Eden's future husband) as Rama Khan's "partner in crime"; Edgar Barrier as the evil Shaman; and Dona Drake as "queen's maid" (Dona was no stranger to North African rolesâsee her also in Hope and Crosby's "Road to Morocco"). Debra Paget "returned to Egypt" as Shila in CLEOPATRA'S DAUGHTER, a foreign film released domestically in 1963. Side-note for the curious and demanding: Debra Paget brought her "Nile act" to Vegas in the 1950s. Please refer to my DEBRA PAGET SRO video for some jackpot views. Side-note for the statistical: Debra Paget was <b>...</b>

Jeffrey Hunter was drop dead gorgeous...and unfortunately he died at the age of 42. He arrived on the Hollywood scene and immediately was signed with a studio based on his beautiful, yet masculine looks. I think his beauty still stands by todays standards. The song is by Ella Fitzgerald - The Man I Love.

PLEASE READ THIS - This clip consists of two segments from "Princess of the Nile" (1954), the story of Shalimar, an Egyptian princess who poses as Taura the dancing girl in order to rid her county of it's Bedouin invaders. This pretty lame affair with lots of hokey dialogue was directed by Harmon Jones. The other performers were Jeffrey Hunter as Prince Haidi; Michael Rennie as Rama Khan ; Dona Drake as Mirva; and Michael Ansara as Captain Kral. I am always looking for new ideas for this series. If you have any suggestions please don't hesitate to drop me a line.

Born Henry McKinnies Jr in New Orleans, Louisiana, Jeffrey Hunter (1926-1969) was a strikingly handsome and talented actor who, after a stint in the Navy during WWII, began on stage and was signed to 20th Century Fox, beginning in bit parts and gradually groomed into one of the studio's heartthrobs of the 1950s, along with his frequent costar, Robert Wagner. The latter often got the bigger part in the movies in which they appeared together and seemed to get many more leading roles at Fox, but Hunter proved he was much more than a pretty face in such films as "The Searchers" (1956), "Count To Five And Die" (1957), "The Last Hurrah" (1958), and "King Of Kings" (1961), in which he received great praise in his sensitive portrayal of Christ. Despite his extraoridnary good looks and talent, Hunter never forgot where he came from and remained a gentle, down-to-earth individual who did not succumb to the trappings of fame. After leaving Fox, he freelanced in Europe, playing in films that did not always receive wide distribution, and he appeared in the little-seen until recent years "Star Trek" pilot "The Cage" as Captain <b>...</b>
