Subject: More Celeb Deaths: Johnny Unitas and Kim Hunter
As if we don't have enough people to mourn this day, two more celebrities have died on this somber week. Johnny Unitas was the quarterback for the then-Baltimore Colts, where he won 3 NFL titles and a Super Bowl. He had set passing yardage records thought to be unbreakable in the 60s. He was most noted for the 1957 title game, where the Colts defeated the New York Giants in the first overtime game in NFL history. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1978. He was 69 when he died yesterday. :'(
Kim Hunter may have been best known to younger audiences as the intelligent ape doctor Zira on the original "Planet of the Apes" and two sequels in the 70s. But she won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar in 1951 for her portrayal of Stella in "A Streetcar Named Desire" with Marlon Brando and Vivien Leigh. Her career spanned nearly 60 years. She was 79. :'(
