Have only read a small part, but look forward to sompleting it. The Tab Hunter documentary aroused interest in his story.
I didn't purchase or read the book for any other reason to gain insight into the old studio system that allegedly controlled the lives of the "stars" that it manufactured. His story verified that allegation as fact.
This is the best autobiography about the Hollywood and being a closeted gay man that I have ever read. It is very well written and given serious and sensitive attention to all matters of coming out with friends, family, and as well as lovers.
Very good read! Picked this book on a wim and was not disappointed.
The book is well-written and interesting. He was such a handsome man and down to earth.
I never knew much about this wonderful person. He once had the fame and fortune that most of us think we want, but lets the reader know that it still comes with a price.
I was born in 1949, so Tab Hunter has been a part of my memory bank as a film buff since my pre-teen years. I always thought of him as one of the most beautiful actors in Hollywood history, beautiful in the tradition of Tyrone Power and Robert Taylor, and not merely "pretty" as many tried to define him, in an obvious attempt to diminish his status as an actor.
Glad to get this book to read, as I have been a fan of Tab Hunter's since I was a little girl watching all his movie on tv.
A history of movie making in the 1950's thru current years...lot's of behind the scenes info..
Tab tells the story of his life. For fans and others who love the golden age of Hollywood.
400 pages of "I did this crappy movie" and "Then I did this crappy movie" interspersed with vague, arm's-length recollections of various non-relationship, pseudo-relationship and what-relationship? tales of yore.
Confession: I have never seen a Tab Hunter movie, not even either of the ones he made with Divine in the 1980s. I read this book more for the perspective on being gay in 1950s Hollywood than I did for the personal story, but I found myself being drawn into the personal story all the same.
In this book "Tab Hunter" comes off a quite a nice guy with principles and scruples--what a concept, especially in Hollywood. The book is long and detailed but is filled with interesting tid-bits about many big and little show business people.
Autiobiography of teenage heartthrob Tab Hunter. He publicly came out as a gay man in this book and goes over his entire life dealing with movies, relationships and having to constantly hide being gay in the 1950s-1980s.
A very interesting book. Mr.
