from her film debut in 1966' s marlowe until she left hollywood in 1969, brunette leading lady gayle hunnicutt was typecast in sexpot roles. she was often cast as a golddigger on the prowl for wealthy, older men, ranging from raymond burr in pj (1968) to jed clampett (buddy ebsen) on tv' s the beverly hillbillies. upon relocating to england in 1970 with her then - husband david hemmings, hunnicutt began to be taken seriously as an actress. among gayle hunnicutt' s more prestigious credits are the tv miniseries a man called intrepid (1979), the martian chronicles (1980) and a woman of substance (1985) .

as a naive young actress in the 1960s, gayle hunnicutt fell head over heels for david hemmings, the star of antonioni' s classic film blow up. now 61, she looks back on the fairy - tale romance  and how it came with a deeply wounding betrayal

he was knighted in 2004, but does not regularly use the title. his wife, better known as gayle hunnicutt, is a texas - born actress who played vanessa beaumont in the tv soap dallas. they have one son, and a stepson by her first husband, the actor david hemmings .
their son nolan, an actor who starred in tv mini series band of brothers, is living with gayle after separating from the mother of his children .
the marriage pulled hemmings in two. gayle hunnicutt, for all the glamorous party - going and hollywood looks, was an old - fashioned girl who drew on the stability of her family background and was a loyal maintainer of friendships. he liked that, but it conflicted with his need to be part of a livelier scene .

a cache of forgotten love letters. cobwebbed with neglect, usually pulsing with secrets. no matter how often this dramatic cliché turns up in real life or fiction, it always exerts a voyeuristic fascination. the american - born actress gayle hunnicutt must have felt she was back as a character in a henry james story when it happened to her .
good films stuck with forgettable titles all too often slide past discriminating home - viewers on cable. a perfect example this week is'' once in paris'' (1978), a romantic comedy about a hollywood scenarist (played by wayne rogers) and his first encounter with the paris movie world - and a paris love (gayle hunnicutt). written, directed and

now she rubs shoulders with celebrities including gwyneth paltrow and jamie oliver, but when gayle and her then husband, journalist sir simon jenkins, bought the five - bedroom house in 1978 it was a different story .
from her film debut in 1966' s
marlowe
until she left hollywood in 1969, hunnicutt was typecast as a brunette sexpot. after she moved to england with hemmings in 1970, hunnicutt was able to use the finer range of her acting, including: a notable role as charlotte stant, in jack pulman' s adaptation of henry james' s novel
the golden bowl
, lionel' s wife in
the legend of hell house
and tsarina alexandra in
fall of eagles
. hunnicutt returned to the united states in 1989, where she played the role of vanessa beaumont in dallas until 1991 .
gayle assumed the role of irene adler in the movie a scandal in bohemia (1984), the first episode of the british - canadian granada television network series the adventures of sherlock holmes (1984 - 94) .
she and hemmings are pictured arriving at dallas' love field en route to fort worth to meet her parents .
a new york columnist reported that they were secretly married. a fort worth newspaper quoted gayle' s father as saying' i' ll be surprised if they are married.' the couple refused to confirm or deny the report. hemmings stated that they would make no comment until after talking to gayle' s parents .
as one of london’s resident rakes in the swinging ’60s, patrick, the fifth earl of lichfield—and a cousin of queen elizabeth ii—loved beautiful women, glittery nightlife and himself almost as much as he loved photography. he was linked to jet - set beauties such as britt ekland, jane seymour, gayle hunnicutt and dewi sukarno; his premarital manifesto concluded that “fidelity is not essential. i’m sure i shall never be completely faithful to one woman. ”
according to actor jeremy brett, gayle wore the perfume
bluebell
from penhaligon' s in london and it was extremely memorable during filming of the adventures of sherlock holmes (1984) episode
a scandal in bohemia
.
if there’s a couple that was more modtastic and appeared in more outstanding horror films & thrillers than the fabulous david hemmings and the vastly underrated gayle hunnicutt, i don’t know who they are. hemmings and hunnicutt were married between 1968 and 1975. during that brief period of time they made fragment of fear (1970) and voices (1973) together (as well as the love machine, which i’ll be writing about soon). they also individually starred in such noteworthy films as eye of the cat (1969), unman, wittering and zigo (1971), nuits rouge (1974), the legend of hell house (1974) and deep red (1975) .
despite missing out on her bond girl role, hunnicutt had a couple of brushes with other franchises connected with roger moore. she appeared in the 1984 tv series
the adventures of sherlock holmes
and twice with the saint, in the 1979 episode
the saint and the brave goose
and also the 1989 tv movie
the saint: the brazilian connection .
a british citizen, hunnicutt now splits here time between the english countryside and florida .
whilst the unconvincing accents sported by the likes of stratford johns, john hallam and derren nesbitt are a little amusing (it’s understandable that the production team preferred to cast british actors, but you’d have thought they could have found the odd french - born thesp) it doesn’t detract too much. a major plus is gayle hunnicutt, who is one of the more fleshed - out female leads in the series (helped in part by the length of the story) .
in 2012, gayle was featured in an episode of the hgtv reality show selling london. it followed her during the sale of her primrose hill victorian house and her subsequent purchase of an english country property to be close to her grandchildren .
some early gayle from the first year of her big / small screen career. as with some other us network family shows of the time, the bikini bottoms had to cover the bellybutton, which was seen as a threat to public decency .
american actress gayle hunnicutt, then aged 30, was the first choice for the role of solitaire in
live and let die
after the part had been re - written for a white actress. screenwriter tom mankiewicz originally (very loosely) adapted ian fleming' s novel with solitaire being african - american - specifically, diana ross. but pressure from united artists for a' safe script', despite the blaxploitation trend at the time, forced the racial flip with the rosie carver role .
‘texans have a thing about light, ’ says gayle, who grew up in a ‘typical american suburban house’ in fort worth, the only child of her father sam, who served in the south pacific during the second world war, and mother virginia .
sues for divorce from hemmings in london. her divorce petition is filed among a list of undefended suits in the london divorce court. gayle names as
the other woman
baroness prudence de casembroot, who for the last year has been hemming' s secretary .
repeated requests to take film parts lured him back to acting, and after blow up they multiplied. he appeared in barbarella, camelot and the charge of the light brigade and married the american actress gayle hunnicutt. but in the early 1970s he turned to directing, making the well - regarded running scared and just a gigolo which starred david bowie. when the great cry of astonishment went up over his return as cassius in gladiator, he quipped :
people thought i was dead but i was just directing the a team .
gayle met hemmings (of blow - up and the charge of the light brigade fame) at a party thrown by rat pack actor peter lawford. they married in 1968 and moved to the uk the following year. the couple divorced in 1974 after david’s many infidelities .
virginia hunnicutt, who hadn' t read the letters since she boxed them up 60 years ago, told her daughter :
well, honey, i hope lloyd' s letters will remind people that sharing true love and complete trust is life' s greatest blessing .
she pulled out four or five and began to read. when sam lloyd hunnicutt was posted to the island of new caledonia with his cavalry regiment in 1942, his wife, virginia, was pregnant after a series of miscarriages. the much - wanted child, gayle, was born while he was away and was 18 months old when he returned. the letters are full of longing, humour, boredom and, as time drags on, unfocused jealousy and fear that she is going to be ensnared by
some city slicker
before he gets home .
writing hunnicutt has written two books; the first, health and beauty in motherhood, was published in 1984. in 2004, she published dearest virginia: love letters from a cavalry officer in the south pacific, which contains the letters exchanged by her parents during world war ii .
compare the still of gayle hunnicutt as charlotte stant presenting a quietly (subtle this adaptation) vulnerable face to the prince upon her reintroduction to him to that of uma thurman as charlotte (above). the difference is not just in subtlety but hunnicutt' s assumption of self - possession which thurman lacks from the outset. i can' t compare the stills of maggie and her father from the two adaptions because both resolutely make maggie innocent and erase the incestuousness driving the purchase of the prince and charlotte - - the most disquieting and central part of the book. nick nolte' s coldness and tyranny come from his actions and are not seen in his steely face (except that it is steel); barry morse is enigmatic. jill townsend does present strength when she ejects charlotte, but we get no sense of her egoism and perhaps more violating transgression. e. m. e. m. ellen
the star factor means gayle’s family home is now on the market for £6 million although the 68 - year - old former star of dallas and movies including marlowe (with james garner) and target (with gene hackman and matt dillon) is more enamoured of the village atmosphere than the area’s celebrity kudos .
gayle admits it’s a ‘race against time to sell’ as she’s made an offer on a large country house with land and a swimming pool. ‘i hope a family with children buy it and enjoy living here as much as we have. it’s a great house for sunday lunches and dinner parties, ’ she says .
that charlotte is left shattered, just shattered and without a will (here gayle hunnicutt comes into her own at the close). maggie is presented as frantic and jealous of the prince and angry about this sexual liasion, but here is what i find the presentation not adequate to the case: there is no sense really of adam verver as himself having evil or sinister tendencies he is presented as loving his daughter and while incest is in the air as something emotional, we are not made to feel really that the father and daughter tried to buy their way to a private life of their own, using this desperately poor pair .
in addition,'' the golden bowl,'' produced by martin lisemore and directed by james cellan jones, has an exceptionally fine cast: jill townsend as maggie verver, the wealthy american innocent abroad; barry morse as her devoted father; daniel massey as the italian prince she marries, and gayle hunnicutt as charlotte stant, her childhood friend who, unknown to maggie, has long been in love with the prince. these four constitute a central rectangle, which, if observed from a distance, might prompt the casual observer to conclude that maggie and her father were one married couple, her husband and friend the other .
hunnicutt, 67, was previously married to david hemmings, the late star of the cult sixties film blow - up. she added of evans :
the person who introduced us in 1975 reintroduced us last summer. we both became separated and neither of us knew. it is one of those extraordinary things .
spectacularly forgetting her well - bred background, hunnicutt warned eggar that
if she thought she was going to see me off, she had another think coming. i then said something very rude. i told her:' if he fucks his leading ladies, i' m starring in the next film with him.'
although she wanted to be an actress from the age of five, gayle’s parents also set great store by academic achievement and she won a scholarship to the university of california in los angeles to study english literature and theatre. it was here that she was spotted by a warner bros talent scout while performing in a student production .
over the years gayle has made her mark on the property, which has the well - worn, traditional decor of a much - loved family home. she and simon brought up nolan, 40 (her son by her first husband, the late british actor david hemmings), and their son together, edward, 29, here .
at 61, hunnicutt is still recognisably the cool creature who entered dallas as jr' s english mistress and became the epitome of enigmatic reserve in the television adaptation of henry james' s the golden bowl. she starred with james garner in marlowe. fragment of fear was her first film with hemmings and in running scared, he directed her .
hemmings says in london that he and gayle were never legally married but went through
a form of marriage ceremony
in sorrento, italy, last september. she' s reported to have left london to stay with friends in paris. british newspapers quote her :
the ceremony was emotional and impetuous and, we realized later, quite invalid .
as to the meaning, there was even less about maggie and her father. no sense of them as somehow emotionally incestuous at all. at least the 1972 movie showed that over time if it was never explicitly acknowledged and the pair remained unblamed. interesting to me here is no more sex in this one than the 1972. in the 1972 we see daniel massey a couple of times just about to take gayle hunnicutt' s clothes off and we get the sense of a long lived affair while maggie and her father stay together. in this movie they do nearly strip and jump into bed, but the sex is done discreetly and over quick and hardly seen among bedclothes and seems only to happen once .
there still are, and hunnicutt talks sharply about the questionable morals of a small group of
spoilt, rich privileged people
among the chattering classes who make up her present social circle .
it' s all about behaving well in public and doing what you like in private ,
she says .
i find it disgusting. nothing could be more different from my father .
hunnicutt' s parents were seduced by hemmings' s charm but his treatment of their daughter must have tested to the limit their christian ethic of forgiveness .
i think they were utterly bewildered. nothing like this had ever come into their lives. i don' t think they knew people behaved like this. they adored david and they never said whether it changed their view of him .
his own cast - iron fidelity is never in question. while other men are trying to get off with the limited supply of nurses on the island, or planning sexual exploits at the end of the war, lloyd hunnicutt is writing to his wife :
i know that i could, with a little trouble, play around over here. but my love for you is strong enough to keep me from being tempted .
although i guess i was very much a part of the swinging sixties, i was never a swinger ,
says hunnicutt .
in a funny way, we were a good pair. but, in the end, his unpredictability and infidelities became too much and, in 1974, i filed for divorce. david was the most stunningly attractive man and women just threw themselves at him. there were a lot of predatory ladies out there .
the letters have been a kind of crucible for me ,
says hunnicutt .
getting to know my father when he was a young man, understanding the fineness of his feelings, his sense of honour and his profound love for my mother, which he never betrayed. until i read the letters and edited them for publication, i had not understood how much of who i am and what i believe is because of my father – and my mother .
hunnicutt, the adored only child among seven adults in her family, was brought up in the palpable wholesomeness of fort worth and seems to have spent most of her adult life trying unsuccessfully to recapture its values in her adopted country. she certainly missed out on that kind of dedication from her first husband, the beautiful boy actor david hemmings, because within three months of their extravagant marriage in los angeles in 1968, hemmings was misbehaving and his friends were lying to protect him .
lloyd hunnicutt could have feigned more interest in the pregnancy to please his wife, but he admits the unborn child isn' t real to him and his main concern is for her .
having babies ,
he writes ,
is a very important business but it is definitely secondary to your health and wellbeing to me. i married you because i love you and want to live with you until i am an old, old man, regardless of the number of children we may have, if any .
hunnicutt' s son, nolan, is now a 33 - year - old actor with a baby of his own. she and jenkins, who live in primrose hill, london, have a 22 - year - old son, edward, deputy editor of the music magazine undercover. in the past 10 years, the extended family has moved closer because of a healing friendship with hemmings' fourth and last wife, lucy williams. and when hemmings died while filming in romania, eight months ago, the two wives helped one another to get over his death .
soon thereafter, gayle left the usa with then husband david hemmings in 1970, and began primarily appearing in european tv series and film productions. able to use the finer range of her acting. she had a notable role as charlotte stant, in jack pulman' s 1972 tv adaptation of henry james' s novel the golden bowl. she played lionel' s wife in the legend of hell house (1973) and tsarina alexandra in fall of eagles (1974). . at this time, she also appeared in american television shows, such as the love boat, taxi, fantasy island, and matt houston. she returned to the united states in 1989, where she played the role of vanessa beaumont in the cbs - tv series dallas until its final season in 1991 .

‘it was a very friendly area with the odd media type. then about 15 years ago suddenly all these restaurants and cappuccino bars opened up and people like daniel craig and jude law moved in. we paid £87, 500 and that seemed like enough at the time, ’ she says .

they turned the warren of rooms on the basement floor into an open - plan living area and kitchen and added a conservatory which houses a dining room. in 2005 they added a three - storey extension to the side creating an atrium - style entrance hall with a glass - roofed bathroom above it and a library below and they added extra windows in the stairwell, bedrooms and living room .
‘darling orlie and sam are great friends of the family. they’ve known my sons for years, ’ she says .

the glamorous actress is enjoying an emotional reunion with the bbc tennis commentator richard evans, who was her boyfriend until the year before she married sir simon .
i am spending quite a lot of time with this lovely man in florida ,
she told me at the launch of the paperback edition of miranda seymour' s book chaplin' s girl: the life and loves of virginia cherrill, at the house of hardy amies in savile row, london .
it is lovely being with someone who knows you so well and understands you .
we first met in 1975 and were together for two and a half years. as he is in the tennis world, he travels constantly. i had a career and a child to raise, so i couldn' t always be travelling around the world and we never married .
her father had been dead for 10 years, her mother was in a nursing home, and in the dutiful process of clearing out the home they had shared in fort worth, texas, for the last 30 years of their 55 - year marriage, she found a wooden box of tightly packed letters. there were hundreds. some typed, but most of them in her father' s formal, sloping hand, written to her mother when he was serving as a cavalry officer in the south pacific during the second world war .
one week, he' s telling her to carry on buying nice frocks and not to let motherhood make her frumpy. the next, he' s warning her about the dangers of platonic relationships and teasing that she' s not writing to him often enough .
the great mistake separated couples make ,
he observes on october 3, 1943 ,
is in thinking they can have a little fun and not shoot the works .
on february 21, 1943, he writes :
it' s funny that i seem to have a great deal more physical desire for you now that i' m sure the baby has been born... i feel as i' d feel if we were just starting on a honeymoon .
if she doesn' t go
too maternal
, he warns her, they may need an auxiliary bed
because one couldn' t stand the punishment
.
he can' t wait to
whip the japs
and get back home ,
because the war is causing me the unhappiness of being separated from you – and i don' t ever intend to let anything separate us again .
virginia' s letters to him did not survive because, under military regulation, he had to destroy them .
he was so straight ,
says his daughter .
what i found so moving is the clear expression that, though he knew he would love the child, his wife was the most important thing and without that relationship his life was worth nothing. isn' t that what any woman wants and so rarely gets? how many women have this kind of dedication ?
i was a bride of three months and he was having a very public affair with samantha eggar. it nearly destroyed me. i never got over it .
the truth is, that was a moment of bravura. david apparently talked about that moment and said he was proud of me. but you can never unring a bell, and the end of the marriage was written then .
but it lasted for another nine years and produced a son, nolan .
it was a real rollercoaster ride, but there was also much happiness .
why did the sheltered, principled and deeply conservative girl from fort worth stand for so long by an out and out womaniser ?
he was the most charismatic human being i have ever met. he had an appetite for life that was quite irresistible. i was totally, utterly in love with him. i didn' t think i could breathe if he wasn' t there .
one of the things she says she found reassuring when she met the man who became her second husband, simon jenkins (writer and former editor of the times), was that his father was a non - conformist welsh minister .
i thought this was wonderful. after those unbelievably rackety, kafkaesque years – never knowing who was lying and who was telling the truth – i was with someone who had been brought up with the same kind of values. with simon, it was a coup de foudre. i knew within minutes of meeting him that i was going to marry him .
it sounds as if she is uncomfortably blunt with friends who are less monogamous than she is. it would be no good confessing an affair to her and expecting to be understood .
it' s one of the cardinal rules of my life that i would never flirt, let alone sleep with, a married man. it is a total betrayal of other women .
she blames sixties sexual liberation and self - indulgence for the
i need it, i' m going to have it
approach to personal fulfilment .
she' s bonier, more fragile, than she was – a bit bashed about by life, she says – but there' s still the 200 - watt smile, the sixties cloud of hair, flicked up on the shoulders and anchored with a broad, sparkly alice band. and the upturned nose. she talks a lot, and seems to live on her emotions, but her voice, almost stripped of its american inflexions, is mesmerisingly low .
she says she came across the letters when she most needed her father and at an age when genealogy becomes important. she' d been ill for four years following a hysterectomy and despaired of ever feeling well again .
one of the saddest things about being unwell is the sense of isolation. i was very lonely .
she was also reeling from the anti - american feeling she experienced after 9 / 11 – especially as, after 35 years, she regarded england as her adopted home. the letters, she says, brought back a lost world of probity, unselfishness and old - fashioned courtesy .
i came to understand my own set of values and code of living through reading them. they are not necessarily the norm in the rather exotic, complex worlds i have been part of in my adult life .
gradually, she began to see that the letters – 600 of them, running to more than 350, 000 words written between 1942 and 1944 – had a significance beyond family and decided, with her 94 - year - old mother' s blessing, to publish them .
the men and women of world war two are slipping away. i would like my father' s life to help celebrate the millions of others who served in both world wars. the letters contain not just the private emotions of an officer far from home and at war, but a message for our times .

british television viewers, especially those of a certain age, got a great kick out of the gulf war briefings of gen. h. norman schwarzkopf. there are several reasons, and some are obvious: namely, that the general was our ally, that the news he brought was overwhelmingly positive, and that he was visibly nerved up to make his performances as
