Was jeffrey hunter gay

Directed by Jeffrey Schwarz. But throughout his years of stardom, Tab had a secret. Tab Hunter was gay, and spent his Hollywood years in a precarious closet that repeatedly threatened to implode and destroy him. Tab Hunter himself shares first hand, for the first time, what it was like to be a studio manufactured movie star during the Golden Age of Hollywood and the consequences of being someone totally different from his studio manufactured image.

THE PAIRS THAT NEVER WERE: Rock Hudson and Jeffrey Hunter

Until the scandal sheets got ahold of him, he got away with it, and it was wonderful. I looked at a lot of footage of him, his television shows and stuff, and all these sort of middle-aged ladies loved him. They were so in denial. He could be absolutely outrageous and was.

The Searchers is his biggest ever film and the one most people still associate with him. Hudson and Hunter were actually quite similar in many ways, as far as their Hollywood stories go. I would imagine some sort of sibling rivalry going on, or perhaps two best friends who grew apart over the years before something brought them together again.
