Later, she played a Russian sniper in a road-show production of Doughgirls.[1] In 1948, she was in Joy to the World in New Haven, Connecticut.[2] In 1949, she co-starred in a production of the comedy Reunion in Vienna.[3]
In 1959, she was billed as Anne Hunter in a performance of Passion, Poison, and Petrifaction.[4]
Film[edit]
