Bio: Hooper Cameron Dunbar was born in Los Angeles, where he worked as an actor on stage and screen, making films with Columbia, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Twentieth Century-Fox studios. In 1958, he left Hollywood for Central and South America, where he taught the arts and ESL, set up a graphic design business, and engaged in service to the Bahá’í community, as a member of the National Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá’ís of Nicaragua, as an Auxiliary Board Member for the Protection of the Faith in the Americas, and then as a Counsellor for the Protection and Propagation of the Faith for the Americas. In 1973, he moved to Haifa, Israel after being appointed to the International Teaching Center. Mr. Dunbar served as a member of that institution until he was elected to the Universal House of Justice in 1988, from which he retired in 2010.
