How many of you remember the late actress Kim Hunter? She won an Oscar and Golden Globe in 1952 for Best Supporting Actress as Stella in “A Streetcar Named Desire.”You may also remember her as Dr. Zira in the 1960/70′s films,“Planet of The Apes”and as Betty Harty in “Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil (1997).”
As Dr. Zira from "Planet of the Apes."
Thanks to a good friend,Tom Donelan,whose family were friends with Kim Hunter and her husband Bob Emmett,I have a copy of a hand-written and signed recipe from Kim H. to his mother. It’s a recipe Kim H. received from Mme. Renoir,wife of well-known french director,Jean Renoir. The recipe,a family favorite for Tom,and a new favorite of mine,is for Chicken Saute in Butter. (everything is better in butter!)
