M.D., Law & Order, Lie to Me, Mad Men, Twin Peaks, Glee, Revenge, and American Horror Story. During the early-to-mid 1980s, Hunter directed feature films, including 1986's River's Edge, which won that year's award for best picture at the Independent Spirit Awards. Janet Maslin made the following comments about Hunter's work on the films River's Edge and Tex: Hunter was born in Los Angeles, the son of British screenwriter Ian McLellan Hunter. He attended Harvard University, graduating in 1968. In 1993, he refused to cede his late father's Academy Award for the 1953 screenplay to Roman Holiday: when the Hollywood blacklist was preventing Dalton Trumbo from selling his work, Trumbo arranged for the elder Hunter to be credited instead. Subsequently, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences gave Trumbo's widow a compensatory award.more
