At least that‘s the way Mrs. Hunt looked at it at the advanced year of 18, with numerous stage plays, TV and radio shows, plus several movies behind her. “At 18, I said, I’ve had it," she recalled last week. “My career had been handed to me on a silver platter; all my family had ac- commodated me, but my ambition was to go to a normal school, be a cheer leader and all those things.“ Jimmi wan ted sidelines Jimmi Hunt â€" and somehow the Jimmi suits her, without one really knowing why â€" paused for a minute and reflected on some of those moments back when, starting with the Pasadena Playhouse in California at age 7. That was the first of many roles‘ which in- cluded acting with the great Shirley Booth on Broadway in “A Tree Grows in Brooklyn“; “1 Remember Mama,” and “The Children's Hour." Tooreal So convincing was her acting as Rosalie in the latter, that she won the New York Drama Critics' Award for best sup- porting actress. Later, on the road, she was booed for her much-too- real portrayal of the vixen lead, Mary, in Baltimore. 7:40 pm. Earlybirds 8:00 pm.

However, she managed to get the shakes under control and eventually passed muster with the great man. Even with her many successes. though, Mrs. Hunt, born Janet Parker, decided, while still in her teens, there were now too many producers “giving fanny pats"; besides, “I never had the dedication to push, shove and claw my way past the ingenues in the business," she said. So, she left it all, went to Hawaii on vacation, and then landed back in California as a tour guide at Disneyland. “King Hussein wouldn't have a chance,” she says with a grin. referring to a recent newspaper picture of the Jordanian leader in Disneyland, being squired by, or squiring an attractive, young tour guide there. Then it was back to Honolulu â€" “I taught a charm course â€" and on to Australia, where she met her husband, Ron, an airline administrator, originally from Fiji. Gypsy Being married to Ron, meant plenty of moves, including Canada and Thornhill, where they and their two children, Travis and Maile, now live. So it‘s lucky she’s “part gypsy," and likes to travel, because they may be transferred again.
