The guy who was Jesus Christ
Those that will contain expiration will now be the ladies, then let's talk about (and pictures) of Jeffrey Hunter , an actor who in the fifties and sixties has enjoyed great popularity.
Unfortunately, he died when he was only 42 years because of a stupid accident in the home, when her film career had declined and began an emerging stage on television.

The fatal accident occurred in 1969. By then his popularity and his career went almost at rock bottom (pardon the metaphor, which has left me involuntarily) and tried to break into the television.
His last film left much to be desired, when compared with the great masterpieces that had intervened earlier.
Jeffrey Hunter was born in New Orleans in 1926 and began working in radio at a young age.
With twenty years he moved to Los Angles where he met actress Barbara Rush with whom he married.
was 24 years old when Fox threw the eye in a usual parties he went with his wife and gave him a contract so that, besides his good voice, use his obvious good looks. After acting lessons appropriate and relevant evidence on the big screen debut in 1950 in the film Julius Caesar .

Ford was so happy with him that he needed two more times: to make a journalist in The Last Hurrah (1958) and military The black sergeant (1960). 
had previously interpreted Iron Heroes (1956), A Kiss Before Dying (1956), Gun for a Coward (1957), The True Story of Jesse James (1957) and Stronger than life (1957).
After shooting with the teacher western , speaking on the last flight (1961) a police directed by actor Edmund O `Brien . Nicholas Ray , with whom he had worked in The True Story of Jesse James , required him to shoot again in Spain overproduction of Samuel Broston King of Kings (1961) with a stellar cast which included Carmen Sevilla as Mary Magdalene.
In King of kings played Jesus of Nazareth an epic breath that captivated the public, widely regarded as one of the best interpreters of Jesus Christ has given the film.
The film was a huge success and the most celebrated performance of his career. But from it its tasks were increasingly indifferent and their popularity waned.
Before be absorbed by the European B-series film he had time to shoot some degree of interest Last Survivor (1962) or The Longest Day (1962).
In 1963 he was the star of the peplum pray Caesar and the title, which brought him back to Europe, marked the definitive start of its decline.

He returned to Hollywood to act in Guide for the Married Man (1967), but returned again to Europe to continue with spaghetti in Joe Christmas (1967), comedy Beer for all (1968), West without borders (1968), Super Colt 38 (1969) and Viva America! (1969). 
1969 was the fateful year of his household accident. He had returned to Los Angeles to start his career in television.

Today hardly anyone remembers Jeffrey Hunter and, perhaps, when new generations see Searchers wonder, at best, that guy who was it that made nephew Ethan / Wayne movie on the big John Ford .
