Tab Hunter Confidential
In the 1950s, Tab Hunter was No. 1 both at the box office and on the music charts. Hollywood's most sought-after star and America's boy next door, Hunter was blond, charming and stunningly handsome, with a broad, friendly smile. In short, he was the typical guy that everyone would like to marry or have as a son-in-law. In fact, Hunter was romantically linked to such actresses as Natalie Wood, Debbie Reynolds, and Sophia Loren, frequently pictured stepping out with them. Nothing, it seemed, could damage Tab Hunter's career. Nothing, that is, except for the fact that he was secretly gay. Now, Hunter's secret is out, and in this revelatory documentary the actor shares the whole story of a happy, healthy survivor of Hollywood's ruthless roller coaster.
