Tab Hunter confidential : the making of a movie star de Tab Hunter
this is the fascinating story of a hollywood-constructed pretty boy who had to hide his queerness from the people who held his reigns. tab hunter, himself, comes across as kind of a conservative jerk at the end, but it's really interesting to hear about his life, especially about his deep and tumultuous relationship with anthony perkins.
Once I started this memoir I could not put it down. I was not a Tab Hunter fan because I was too young when he was very famous but reading about his life, the people he met, old Hollywood, etc., was fascinating. Now I want to see some of the movies he's talked about.
A very interesting true tale of a gay actor's life in the 1950's when he had to hide his sexuality. Tab Hunter seems like a very likeable down to earth guy with a serious work ethic. This is a fun read with serious undertones, as "Tab" (born Arthur) had to live closeted, in spite of having several long running relationships. There's a glimpse of Hollywood glamour as well family difficulties with a mentally unstable single mother. This book made me want to check out some of the actor's movies and I definitely want to see the new documentary based on this book.… (mais)
