Virginia Hunter's life journey began in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where she started her passion for dance and ballet at the tender age of eight. As her family relocated to Los Angeles in 1940, Virginia's talent and dedication earned her a contract with MGM, a prestigious film studio, from 1940 to 1945.
After her stint at MGM, Virginia transitioned to Columbia Pictures, where she continued to hone her craft until the late 1940s. During this period, she also began modeling, a venture that would eventually lead to a fulfilling career.
In the late 1940s, Virginia was offered a job by the esteemed I. Magnin department-store chain in Pasadena, and she gladly accepted the position. Through her hard work and determination, she rose through the ranks, eventually becoming the manager of several branch stores.
After 33 years of dedicated service, Virginia retired from her business career in La Jolla in 1985, marking a significant milestone in her life. She then resided with her older brother in Las Vegas until her passing in 2012.
Throughout her illustrious career, Virginia accumulated a remarkable array of credits, including four "Durango Kid" westerns alongside Charles Starrett at Columbia Pictures, as well as numerous shorts with The Three Stooges, also at Columbia.
