Voluptuous and full figured Ann Kunde burst onto the Hollywood scene in the 1920s. The multi-talented Kunde proved to be a minx both on and off screen though she eventually settled down to a life of wedded matrimony with a tall and statuesque my by the name of Al Kunde. With her natural "fresh off of the farm" look led her and her husband being cast in many scenes that required your stereotypical hillbilly types. She was the belle of the ball and the jewel of the dance floor and many of her fellow extras were envious of her husband.By the late 1940s, the hour glass shaped Kunde started to show her age a little more and moved into a new category of worship among film's most dedicated researchers. It took one dedicated researcher years to pin a name to this apple shaped beauty but once her identify was established, it proved that many casting directors knew the name of Ann Kunde.Mrs. Kunde went from those stereotypical square dances to playing the parts of gentle prison matrons and loving and caring mothers. It was in her role in Hollywood Barn Dance where Ann's acting range truly showed. It was her touching performance as Ernest Tubb's mother that brought her to the forefront of one researcher harem.Always willing to adapt to any situation, Ann transitioned into television with her usual effortless grace that only she could exude. She could be seen sitting on a jury in The Untouchables, playing a townswoman on a Gunsmoke, or playing her usual hillbilly role. When she passed away in 1960s, she left a void in the hearts of film researchers everywhere but they can look back with great joy knowing their goddess will live on forever through her on and off screen contributions to film.
