With a great face, great figure and flaming red hair, Zoe Hunter Lee carries a striking resemblance to 1980s Spanish scream queen, Diana Conca. With an independent career that is steadily growing, she is
starting to gain an impressive fan following of her own.

Operating from her home base in New York City, she is involved with film, television, voice over and other activities within the
entertainment industry. If she keeps on, she will certainly hit it big sooner or later.

Born Zoe Elyse Huntzinger in Poughkeepsie, New York, she proved to be an exceptionally intelligent child. Placed in advanced
classes, she also studied the arts in high school and had hopes for making it in the entertainment industry early on. Having already studied ballet and drama, she later attended Vassar College, for a theatre/film program, then SUNY in Fredonia, New York. There she studied for a career in the music theatre, although acting remained her goal. One year after graduation, she moved to Hoboken and started her acting career.

It was during one of these early acting roles, at the New York Renaissance Faire in Sterling Forest, where she would meet her future husband, Duncan, hence the name change from Zoe Hunter, a condensed version of her real name, to Zoe Hunter-Lee.

Hunter’s roles in television and independent film have been numerous. She played Sleeping Beauty in A Walk in the Woods, a super heroine in Avenging Angel, a bartender in Picture This, various roles in Pop Up Video, including that of a Madonna-look-alike, and a witch in Afloat. She has also made numerous uncredited appearances as an extra on television and the big screen. But now she is focussing on finding larger roles in independent films.

One of her most recent appearances has been a lead role in an ultra-uncanny indy production directed, written and produced by Tony Urban out of New York. The film, Klowns, has already received a lot of feedback on the net. Too bizarre for words? Maybe.

On the other hand, the project may be the film that finally pushes Zoe into the independent limelight. Part horror and part comedy (with a title like Klownz, how could it be anything but that?), the film also features a cast of indy regulars, including Samantha Diane, Nathan Faudree, Dana Leuth, Nicole McFarlane, and Amanda Rising.

While horror is just one of the immediate vehicles Zoe has launched herself into, with negotiations in the works for future roles
in the genre – and two more films, Kottentail and A Pound of Flesh, due to be released in 2004 - she has also done other things in recent months. She has found extra work doing both modelling and voiceovers. You can see or hear her in commercials for Mercedes-Benz Industrial, The Park central Hotel and Pepperidge Farm Goldfish Crackers.

Her resume carries a list of impressive skills. As a dancer she can cite skills in tap, jazz, ballet, yoga and even some hip-hop.
Other skills and interests include yoga, swimming (she was a former lifeguard), nightclub singing, dialect impressions (notably British, Irish, California Valley girl and Yiddish), and jet skiing.

Along with the husband she lives with, she has two Chihuahua dogs.

With the Klowns under her belt, she might well have found her best bet, as a mainstay in horror, if not as an outright
scream queen. This genre of film has a massive fan following and the more attention she makes here, the better off she might find herself.

While it is still too early to make too many predictions, Zoe Hunter Lee is going to be someone to keep an eye on.
