Legendary blacklisted actress Marsha Hunt, 90, returns to the screen in
a noir fairy tale, based on actual events. A cache of used books leads

(100 words) Legendary blacklisted Hollywood actress Marsha
Hunt, 90, makes a stunning return to the screen in this haunting short
film that writer/director Eddie Muller describes as "a noir fairy tale,
based on actual events." Lulu Vaughn (Leah Dashe) is a young woman who
discovers a cache of used books that she believes holds clues to the
solution of decades-old crimes. When the authorities dismiss her, she
takes matters into her own hands, ringing the doorbell of Hazel Reedy
(Hunt), who may or may not be the widow of America's most notorious
unapprehended serial killer. Their cross-generational confrontation
leads to an unexpected and shocking conclusion.

of Noir" for his renown as a novelist and film noir historian and
preservationist, adapted the film from his own short story. Hunt, now
90 years of age, starred in such classic films as Pride and Prejudice (1940), The Human Comedy (1943), and Raw Deal (1948) and proves in a memorable performance that the Communist witch hunt of the 1940s cut short a phenomenal acting career.
