Late actress Marsha Hunt, an honorary mayor of Sherman Oaks, was an early local activist who called attention to, and helped, the homeless in San Fernando Valley.
“I may have disappeared from the limelight in the 50s, but I didn’t disappear from life.” — Marsha Hunt
Her years as the leading advocate in the San Fernando Valley for the homeless focused on providing safe haven for abused mothers with children trying to escape spousal violence. Marsha knew all about losing a job. She had just landed another as honorary mayor of Sherman Oaks, returning to the San Fernando Valley after her work at the United Nations.
“Somehow, our Valley — ‘the bedroom of Los Angeles’ — was never geared for hard times,” Marsha said at the time. Well, she was back and ready to gear it up. She personally showed up every day with supplies and donations to make sure mothers had the essentials for their children while their husbands looked for work.
