Biography

Eleanor Hunt, a talented actress and writer, burst onto the scene on January 10, 1910, in the vibrant city of New York, specifically in the heart of Manhattan, where the bright lights and bustling streets would eventually shape her artistic pursuits.

Her early years were marked by a passion for the performing arts, which led her to pursue a career in show business. Her impressive range and versatility as an actress earned her roles in a variety of films, including the 1936 comedies Go-Get-'Em, Haines and Yellow Cargo, as well as the 1937 thriller Bank Alarm.

Eleanor's personal life was just as eventful, with two notable marriages to Rex Lease and George A. Hirliman. Her relationships were marked by a deep affection and mutual respect, which undoubtedly played a significant role in her happiness and success.

Tragically, Eleanor's life was cut short on June 12, 1981, when she passed away in her beloved Manhattan, leaving behind a legacy of memorable performances and a lasting impact on the world of entertainment.
