Peter H. Hunt followed his success of '1776' with a long film and TV career, plus a decade as artistic director of the Williamstown Theatre Festival.
Hunt died Sunday at his home in Los Angeles from complications of Parkinson’s disease, said his wife, Barbette Hunt.
A revival of “1776,” which chronicles the events leading up to the signing of the Declaration of Independence with a focus on John Adams,“He loved theatricality, he loved big theatrical gestures,” said friend and colleague David Rambo, a television writer and producer who collaborated with Hunt on staging a classic theater to benefit the Actors Fund. “Peter personified classic Broadway to me.”
Howard Da Silva as Benjamin Franklin, left, and William Daniels as John Adams in the movie adaptation of “1776,” directed on both film and Broadway by Peter H. Hunt, who has died at 81. There was also the matter of raising a family, and Barbette said L.A. felt like the natural place to do that.
