"Documentary about Tab Hunter narrated by him. It shows how he became a star and highlights various movies and TV shows he did. Also during the feature they cut to other actors who relate what they think of Hunter. It also deals with his being secretly gay. Hunter is quite honest about everything and laid-back with some very funny moments. It also gets into his ex boyfriends--particularly Anthony Perkins. A thoroughly fascinating documentary. There's also a book with the same title which goes a little more in depth...."
π‘ Did You Know?
A reporter mentions that Tab Hunter's popularity was with the so-called "baby boomers"; however, the term refers to children born post war, including myself born in 1947 which would have made me nine years old at the height of his popularity. Actually, his fans were the post-depression/war babies who would have been teenagers in the middle 1950's. Baby-boomers are 1946-1964 born, and they absolutely were a part of his fandom.
