WATERVILLE, Maine — Lauren Hutton, graduated from Chamberlain High School in Tampa in 1961, and was among the first students to attend the University of South Florida in 1961.
Her love for theater started at CHS, despite starting at USF she would move to New Orleans and finish her college life at Tulane. She headed to New York where she was first a world class model and then she became an actress.
So, now the former Chamberlain Chief, is going to be this year’s honoree at the 20th annual Maine International Film Festival.
The 73-year-old actress, model and producer will be awarded the Mid-Life Achievement Award next month in Waterville, Maine.
Festival programmer Ken Eisen told the Morning Sentinel (http://bit.ly/2u03TZ6) that Hutton was part of what he described as a golden age of American filmmaking in the 1970s and that she broke the rules for aging by modeling nude at age 61.
She’ll receive the award July 20 at the Waterville Opera House where her movie “American Gigolo,” also starring Richard Gere, will be shown.
