Publisher Comments:

Art Gelien was just a kid when an agent asked him if he wanted to be in movies. Blessed with extraordinary good looks and enough smarts to know that he had a lot to learn, that kid said yes. Rechristened Tab Hunter, he was launched on a journey that carried him to stardom. First he became a pin-up favorite of teenage girls worldwide and then a number one box-office star; then he recorded a song called and#8220;Young Loveand#8221; that knocked Elvis Presley off the top of the chartsand#8212;and all the time he had to keep secret the fact that he was gay.

In Tab Hunter Confidential, written with Eddie Muller, Hunter looks back on a life lived without apologies and a career that soared, then crashed, and then laterand#8212;thanks to popular cult-film auteur John Watersand#8212;enjoyed a revival. It is a true Hollywood story, told with humor and insight.

Synopsis:

He became an instant star and a #1 box office attraction, recorded a #1 hit song, and survived a major sex scandal--all by the time he was 25. Now Tab Hunter tells what happened in subsequent years as he re-created himself as a cult star and film producer.

Synopsis:

One of the biggest screen idols of the 1950s speaks out about the scandals, successes, and sacrifices that came with being the object of desire for millions of women and the pin-up boy for star-struck teenage girls worldwide, and all the while dealing with the reality of being gay at a time when the word didn't even exist.
