Original Kim Hunter Movie Posters

Kim Hunter movie posters from A Streetcar Named Desire (1951) and Planet of the Apes (1968) represent original theatrical paper from an Academy Award-winning actress who had two genuinely distinct careers — as a Method-trained dramatic actress of the early 1950s and as Zira, the sympathetic ape scientist who anchored the franchise's emotional core. Shop our collection of original one-sheets and lobby cards from her films. The photographic campaign for the Kazan production, with its charged emotional imagery, represents some of the finest studio poster work of the early 1950s. Hunter's later work in Planet of the Apes (1968) and its sequels produced an entirely different body of illustrated sci-fi campaign material. Hunter's career trajectory — from stage-trained actress to Oscar winner to blacklist casualty to science fiction franchise player — produced a remarkably diverse collecting field across genres and decades. A Streetcar Named Desire lobby card sets from the original Warner Bros. release are genuinely difficult to source in fine condition. Her Planet of the Apes appearances, alongside Charlton Heston, generated bold illustrated campaigns that remain popular with science fiction poster collectors.
