Gayle Hunnicutt

From her film debut in 1966's Marlowe until she left Hollywood in 1969, brunette leading lady Gayle Hunnicutt was typecast in sexpot roles. She was often cast as a golddigger on the prowl for wealthy, older men, ranging from Raymond Burr in PJ (1968) to Jed Clampett (Buddy Ebsen) on TV's The Beverly Hillbillies. Upon relocating to England in 1970 with her then-husband David Hemmings, Hunnicutt began to be taken seriously as an actress. Among Gayle Hunnicutt's more prestigious credits are the TV miniseries A Man Called Intrepid (1979), The Martian Chronicles (1980) and A Woman of Substance (1985).
