Jeffrey Hunter was born Henry Herman McKinnies Jr. On November 25, 1926 in New Orleans, Louisiana, an only child. His parents met at the University of Arkansas, and when he was almost four his family moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In his teens, he acted in productions of the North Shore Children’s Theater and, from 1942 to 1944, performed in summer stock with the local Port Players, along with Eileen Heckart, Charlotte Rae and Morton DaCosta. Hunter was also a radio actor at WTMJ, getting his first professional paycheck in 1945 for the wartime series Those Who Serve. Hunter attended and graduated from Northwestern University with a bachelor’s degree in 1949, where he acquired more stage experience in Sheridan’s “The Rivals” and Ruth Gordon’s “Years Ago”. He also did summer stock with Northwestern students at Eagles Mere, Pennsylvania in 1948, worked on two Northwestern Radio Playshop broadcasts, was president of Phi Delta Theta Fraternity, and was active in the campus film society with David Bradley, later acting in director David Bradley’s production of Julius Caesar (1950) in 1949. He then attended graduate school at the University of California at Los Angeles, where he studied radio and drama. He was in the cast of a UCLA production of Arthur Miller’s “All My Sons” in May, 1950; on opening night, the good-looking Hunter drew the attention of talent scouts from Paramount and 20th Century-Fox Studios. Hunter made a screen test with Ed Begley in a scene from “All My Sons” at Paramount (where he met Barbara Rush, his future wife), but after an executive shake-up at that studio derailed his hiring, he was signed by 20th Century Fox (where he remained under contract until 1959) and within a month was sent on location in New York for Fourteen Hours (1951). Hunter was kept fairly busy in pictures, working his way from featured roles to starring roles to first-billing within two years in Sailor of the King (1953). His big break came with John Ford’s classic, The Searchers (1956), where he played the young cowboy who accompanies John Wayne on his epic search for a child kidnapped by Comanches. Hunter got excellent reviews for his performance in this film and justifiably so, as he held his own well with the veteran Wayne. Starring roles in two more John Ford movies followed, and in 1960, Hunter had one of his best roles in Hell to Eternity (1960), the true story of World War II hero Guy Gabaldon. That same year, Hunter landed the role for which he is probably best known (although it’s far from his best work), when he played Jesus in producer Samuel Bronston’s King of Kings (1961), which due to Hunter’s still youthful looks at 33, was dubbed by irreverent Hollywood wags I Was a Teenage Jesus. After the cancellation of his Western series Temple Houston (1963), and his decision not to continue in the lead role of the current series Star Trek: The Original Series (1966), his career took a downturn, and Hunter eventually wound up in Europe working on cheap Westerns, at the time a sure sign of a career in trouble. In 1969, Hunter suffered a stroke (after just recovering from an earlier stroke), took a bad fall and underwent emergency surgery, but died from complications of both the fall and the surgery. Minor corner and edge wear, minor creasing. The item “Jeffrey Hunter Extremely Rare Very Early Autographed Photo’52 Star Trek Search” is in sale since Sunday, July 11, 2021.

This is a rare early first draft script for Star Trek Generations. I bought it directly from Gates McFadden in 2013 when she auctioned it off in support of a Theatre group she was supporting. This script is autographed on the first page. It is a total of 123 pages long and was a “First Draft” featuring a role in the film for Mr. He was eventually cut and not in the film. There is a certificate of authenticity provided by Gates herself (signed) as well as an autographed collectable Next Gen. The script has a red number “4” on all the pages (see scan). This was done to prevent leaks of the script prior to the movies release. Each actor/crew had their own numbered script, so if one got out there it could be traced back to an individual. This is a rare and unique set of Star Trek Collectables. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me. The item “Gates McFadden- Star Trek Generations Autographed Early Draft Script w. Spock” is in sale since Thursday, December 12, 2019. This item is in the category “Entertainment Memorabilia\Autographs-Original\Movies\Other Orig. Movie Autographs”.

Here is an extremely rare very early vintage original autographed 8″ by 10″ photo of actress Laurel Goodwin, from her first movie role, in 1962, Girls! Born in 1942 in Wichita, Kansas, Laurel Goodwin, was a child model. Goodwin’s first movie. She married, in 1971, businessman Walter Wood, and they are living in Palm Springs. She was involved with home-nursing. She has attended some Elvis Presley “reunions”. Minor corner wear, minor scuffs, pinhole bottom border. Exceptionally rare this early, from Elvis’ movie and before the premiere of Star Trek. A child model, Goodwin made her screen debut as the love interest of Elvis Presley in the film, Girls! Laurel Goodwin appears on screen more than most, if not all, of Presleys leading ladies. Along the way, she collects six kisses from Elvis, which could very well be another record among Elviss many female costars. Between then and 1969, she appeared in three more films and as a guest actor on several television series, including the Star Trek pilot episode, The Cage (1964) and Mannix (S3-Episode 05 “A Question Of Midnight”). Goodwin starred as Yeoman J. Colt in the Star Trek pilot, and after the series was picked up by NBC, the episode was woven into a first season two-part episode entitled “The Menagerie”. She was a co-star in the Paramount comedy, Papa’s Delicate Condition (1963), playing Augusta Griffith, the daughter of Jack (Jackie Gleason) and Amberlyn Griffith. She also played the role of Phoebe, The Chief’s niece in the TV comedy Get Smart. After retiring from acting in 1971, she pursued a career in home nursing for over 35 years. When her husband became ill, she began taking care of him full-time until he passed away about a year and a half later. Laurel Goodwins most treasured memory of filming Girls! With Elvis came off camera. We used to play touch football between scenes and would have great fun, she explained. Some shots were taken by the still photographer. When they were developed the next day, Elvis picked up a photo of me in which I looked dreadfulmessy, sweatingand said to me, Isnt that a gorgeous leading lady? He definitely had a sense of humor. One filmed sequence in Girls! Might have made a distinct impression on Laurel Goodwin, but if so, she was discreet enough not to mention it in public through the years. Elvis insider Joe Esposito describes the scene in his 1994 book, Good Rockin Tonight. For a complex flamenco dance scene with Goodwin (left), Elvis donned the black trousers made for the scene. According to Esposito, Elvis rarely wore underwear, and so was wearing none that day. Amid the vigorous movements the scene required, Esposito says Elviss pants began to rub him the wrong way, producing an unscripted physical response. At one point during the sequence, Presley and Goodwin embraced tightly, so its very likely the actress noticed what had happened. According to Esposito, Elvis hoped that either the dark slacks or the film editing process would disguise the awkwardness of the scene. The cause of Elviss embarrassment is plainly evident to those looking for it in “The Walls Have Ears” sequence in Girls! Thus Laurel Goodwin participated in what may be the most bizarre scene in all of Presleys 31 Hollywood films. Laurel Goodwin received positive reviews for her work in Girls! Varietys November 7, 1962, review panned the film but singled out Goodwin for praise. Most striking thing about the picture is the introduction of new Paramount pactee Laurel Goodwin, who makes an auspicious film bow. Youngster has a cute, homespun potential of a Doris Day. Despite the auspicious start, Laurel Goodwins Hollywood career was limited to just three more films through 1969. Besides her role opposite Elvis, she is best known today for playing Yeoman J. Colt in The Cage, the pilot episode for the original Star Trek TV series. Goodwin married business executive Walter Wood in 1971. They lived in New York for many years, before moving to Palm Springs, California. Over the years she has attended a few Elvis conventions, and in 2005 appeared at her first Star Trek gathering. In the Photoplay magazine article, she expressed her regret that Elvis never found the happiness in his life that she had found in hers. I sensed a deep sadness inside him, she concluded. He was such a phenomenonand he could never outgrow it. 1978The Dain Curse (TV Mini-Series). Episode #1.1 (1978)… 1971The Partners (TV Series).

Here is an extremely rare very early vintage original autographed 8″ by 10″ photo of actress Laurel Goodwin, from her first movie role, in 1962, Girls! Born in 1942 in Wichita, Kansas, Laurel Goodwin, was a child model. Goodwin’s first movie. She married, in 1971, businessman Walter Wood, and they are living in Palm Springs. She was involved with home-nursing. She has attended some Elvis Presley “reunions”. Minor corner wear, minor scuffs, pinhole bottom border. Exceptionally rare this early, from Elvis’ movie and before the premiere of Star Trek. A child model, Goodwin made her screen debut as the love interest of Elvis Presley in the film, Girls! Laurel Goodwin appears on screen more than most, if not all, of Presleys leading ladies. Along the way, she collects six kisses from Elvis, which could very well be another record among Elviss many female costars. Between then and 1969, she appeared in three more films and as a guest actor on several television series, including the Star Trek pilot episode, The Cage (1964) and Mannix (S3-Episode 05 “A Question Of Midnight”). Goodwin starred as Yeoman J. Colt in the Star Trek pilot, and after the series was picked up by NBC, the episode was woven into a first season two-part episode entitled “The Menagerie”. She was a co-star in the Paramount comedy, Papa’s Delicate Condition (1963), playing Augusta Griffith, the daughter of Jack (Jackie Gleason) and Amberlyn Griffith. She also played the role of Phoebe, The Chief’s niece in the TV comedy Get Smart. After retiring from acting in 1971, she pursued a career in home nursing for over 35 years. When her husband became ill, she began taking care of him full-time until he passed away about a year and a half later. Laurel Goodwins most treasured memory of filming Girls! With Elvis came off camera. We used to play touch football between scenes and would have great fun, she explained. Some shots were taken by the still photographer. When they were developed the next day, Elvis picked up a photo of me in which I looked dreadfulmessy, sweatingand said to me, Isnt that a gorgeous leading lady? He definitely had a sense of humor. One filmed sequence in Girls! Might have made a distinct impression on Laurel Goodwin, but if so, she was discreet enough not to mention it in public through the years. Elvis insider Joe Esposito describes the scene in his 1994 book, Good Rockin Tonight. For a complex flamenco dance scene with Goodwin (left), Elvis donned the black trousers made for the scene. According to Esposito, Elvis rarely wore underwear, and so was wearing none that day. Amid the vigorous movements the scene required, Esposito says Elviss pants began to rub him the wrong way, producing an unscripted physical response. At one point during the sequence, Presley and Goodwin embraced tightly, so its very likely the actress noticed what had happened. According to Esposito, Elvis hoped that either the dark slacks or the film editing process would disguise the awkwardness of the scene. The cause of Elviss embarrassment is plainly evident to those looking for it in “The Walls Have Ears” sequence in Girls! Thus Laurel Goodwin participated in what may be the most bizarre scene in all of Presleys 31 Hollywood films. Laurel Goodwin received positive reviews for her work in Girls! Varietys November 7, 1962, review panned the film but singled out Goodwin for praise. Most striking thing about the picture is the introduction of new Paramount pactee Laurel Goodwin, who makes an auspicious film bow. Youngster has a cute, homespun potential of a Doris Day. Despite the auspicious start, Laurel Goodwins Hollywood career was limited to just three more films through 1969. Besides her role opposite Elvis, she is best known today for playing Yeoman J. Colt in The Cage, the pilot episode for the original Star Trek TV series. Goodwin married business executive Walter Wood in 1971. They lived in New York for many years, before moving to Palm Springs, California. Over the years she has attended a few Elvis conventions, and in 2005 appeared at her first Star Trek gathering. In the Photoplay magazine article, she expressed her regret that Elvis never found the happiness in his life that she had found in hers. I sensed a deep sadness inside him, she concluded. He was such a phenomenonand he could never outgrow it. 1978The Dain Curse (TV Mini-Series). Episode #1.1 (1978)… 1971The Partners (TV Series).
