Tab To Star In Auto-documentary
In what might well turn out to be the most honest performance on his long film resume, Tab Hunter (pictured) has agreed to star in a film documentary that will detail what it was like to live a lie. Hunter, a gay man, kept his private life hidden so he could be sold as a heterosexual matinee idol in the 1950s. According to Variety, “Tab Hunter Condential,†a documentary named after the 2005 autobiography in which Hunter first came clean, is being shopped for distribution. Hunter has agreed to provide a first-hand glimpse into what it was like to transform overnight from a stable boy to Hollywood contract player at Warner Bros., during a time when studios excelled in presenting a carefully choreographed image of stars to the public.
