TAB HUNTER CONFIDENTIAL The Making of a Movie Star Tab Hunter with Eddie Muller
Welcome to Hollywood, circa 1950, the end of the Golden Age. A remarkably handsome young boy, still a teenager, gets ‘discovered’ by a big-time movie agent. Because when he takes his shirt off young hearts beat faster. The young boy’s name was Tab Hunter. Here Hunter speaks out about what it was like to be a movie star at the end of the big studio era, to be treated like a commodity, to be told what to do, how to behave. He speaks also about what it was like to be gay, at first confused by his own fears and misgivings, then as an actor trapped by an image of boy-next-door innocence.
