Texas Guinan: Jay Hunt


TEXAS GUINAN starred in "My Lady Robin Hood" [1919].
• • The storyline of this silent film was centered - - as you might expect - - on a female bandit with a heart of gold who steals from gamblers and gives to a poor family with a crippled daughter.
• • This was the final film directed by Jay Hunt, who was 64 years old when he worked with Texas Guinan. Born in Philadelphia on 4 August 1855, Jay Hunt died in Los Angeles on 18 November 1932.
