Tab Hunter hhhh he was a homosexuel man ,,,no kidding

Mr Hunter was down to earth. His mother was in a residential medical care facility in Santa Fe and Tab checked-in on her routinely and accompanied her to doctor visits. Attentive and loyal to his mom and respectful to staff, no movie star or snobbish attitude, just a nice guy. They had a home just outside of Santa Fe in northern NM back then. The Tab Hunter Confidential on TCM is a great documentary. May he rest in peace.

Its the eyes, just look at his eyes, that's what did it. There is always something different about people who are always called beautiful or gorgeous. Farrah had the hair and I think the eyes too, Welch had the perfect body, naturally, Ann Margaret had the legs and that sexy voice. There is always something. That's why you should always accentuate your best feature.

I (first) ran into Tab at our local hardware store (Santa Barbara). He said, “I’m surprised anybody recognizes me!“ He was smiling, friendly, calm and all-round nice guy and always up for a conversation. We also had mutual friends and he was about as solid a guy as I’ve ever met. He was also a Republican … YEAH!

There aren't many 74 year old men who are beautiful and sexy. Tab Hunter was one of them!

what a sweetheart! genuine. natural. compassionate. thoughtful. all things that contribute to his human being.

It’s terribly sad to hear his passing, he sure was one of my top idols and people I inspired. I watched his documentary 2 years ago , my then partner and I watched it and I fell in love with it , I mean after all the things he had been through we cannot blame him being closeted . he lived his life to the fullest as a kind human being . That’s all that mattered to him .he was a happy bloke . He will be missed , May he Rest In Peace In his heaven .

He was always talented, handsome and so charming, no wonder why we loved him. RIP TH

I loved his book. I grew up in the San Fernando Valley about 12-15 years after Tab and we both loved to ice skate at Schramm's and horseback ride at the Pickwick stables. I was lucky to get to spend my childhood in the Old Valley, just before the freeways, cookie cutter tract housing, and big box malls took over. RIP Old Valley of horse ranches and citrus groves and RIP Tab Hunter, you gorgeous man, you! Beautiful inside and out!

Today is/was the day pre-destined that the Lord GOD, your mother and father and all the host of heaven welcomed you home. Tab Hunter you are a beautiful spirit now. I will see you one day.

His autobiography is so honest and touching.R🌈I🌈P Tab....

I remember watching Tab, on T.V.; as a child! He had a such a wonderful glow about him and he was so handsome! Who knew, that he had a domineering mother and his father deserted them?

Rest in peace Tab Hunter 🙏😥

Great interview. Tab Hunter seemed like a very nice man who was easy to talk to. He was a handsome, talented man and his private life was no one's business. Being gay did not take away from his talent or his charming personality. As long as Tab wasn't being hurtful towards others, why try to hurt him. Thanks for the memories, Mr. Hunter. God bless you and rest in peace. ❤😊😘 🤗 🙏

I got this book ordered from my local Library after having read of his passing. Regardless of his private lifestyle choices he seems to have always had a celebrated life.

Tab... didn't make his Sexual Orientation the focal point of his identity. Of course, he grew up in more oppressive times, But Tab didn't need to let the world know he had sex with men. This current "Let it All Hang Out" attitude is troubling because Everything is accepted. There are No limitations. Time will tell if these Changes were the better. From my view, Ethics are worsening and Men are softening, weakening. CHINA approves this

I'm 56 and I had never heard of him, until he died last year. Recently watched him on 'What's My Line?". Most of Tab's fame and time in the limelight took place before I was born. A very nice person, he was.

I love Tab singing Young Love on The Perry Como Show and love him even more here, watching it with his interviewer with the two of them fun flirting back & forth! A dreamboat, all right.

R.I.P. Tab.

Not only was he handsome and talented, but he was also a genuinely nice down-to-earth person. We miss classy old Hollywood.

I would have fallen in love with him even at an older age, he kept his good looks and boyish appearance until the end, he was such a charming man ❤

I was introduced to Tab Hunter through John Waters’ Polyester when it was released. He was superb. Equally as good if not even better was his second pairing with Divine in Paul Bartell’s Lust in the Dust which was co-produced by Tab himself. Tab is one of my idols.

If only in just a friendship, he seems to me someone you'd want to know. Such sincerity. Despite his fame and good look, so unpretentious.

RIP

AAAH !! R.I.P. TAB HUNTER . REMEMBER SEEING A PICTURE OF HIM IN A MOVIE MAGAZINE. 1950's I WAS A VERY YOUNG. ALL MY OLDER COUSINS WERE FAWNING OVER HIM ! LATER I GOT TO THINK HOW HANDSOME HE WAS & YEEKS !! A HEAVENLY GORGEOUS MAN. FROM U.K. (2024).

What a great interview from Susan Spencer. Tab Hunter was a real teen idol & star and it's just amazing to hear him in this video be so candid. Thanks CBS Sunday Morning for this gem.

Great interview.

Reminds me of Pat Boone, especially in the gracious attitude.

Oh! Tab Hunter. read his book, honest, straitforward. Remember "Young Love"Such a good looking guy and nice too."

Lovely smile I love that in him RIP.

Sucks he’s gone, he seem like an awesome person.

Tab was without question the most gorgeous "old" man ever. He's better looking at 80 than 99.9% of any 20-30 year old men.

I saw tony perkins once in NY he passed by and wow he was handsome can you imagine how handsome Tab was in person ?? two gorgeous guys plus Rudy N another gorgeous guy !

he seems like a nice guy who had an extraordinary life. his best role was with John Waters!

Seemed like a genuinely good guy. Would have been fun to hang out with him. RIP. ✌🏻🙂✌🏻

In the early 1970s my mom ended sitting next to Tab on a cross country flight. All she could talk about was how handsome he was and what a pleasure it was to talk to him. I told her that Tab was gay, and she said he wasn't:-) btw Tab was one of the few men who were better looking than my mom also blond and blue eyed

What a HANDSOME HANDSOME MANNNNNN!!!! BRAVO MISTER HUNTER!!!

What a lovely man.

He looks great!!!! And such a nice person. too!

Back in the day, he was one of the best-looking actors - just adorable!

GREAT Person Tab Hunter

lovely man

When Polyester came out back when I knew he had been a teen idol back then before but never heard he was gay and I thought he was so brave to be in a John Waters movie and how it might ruin him forever which it did not back then. I was much younger so I didn’t know about about a lot of Hollywood gossip and didn’t care I was into punk music and John Waters lol. He was a real babe when he was younger and a good looking older man. RIP

He was a handsome great actor.LOVE HIS MOVIES..MISS HIM ALWAYS .......

Such a wonderful man so beautiful and Good-looking

I heard an interview with him on NPR and actually happened to find that book that on the sidewalk (interestingly enough in Hillcrest, the rainbow section of San Diego). I recognized his story from the radio, and I hung onto every word in Confidential. I'm not usually into blondes, but I thought he was beautiful lol. I may only be 29, but I was sad to hear of his passing all the same. RIP Tab Hunter

Tab was cool in Grease 2 and Cameron's Closet!!! I wonder if the dude ever gets called Arthur still as that's his birth name??

He is as handsome now as he was then.

Think about it, gay actors are some of the best actors.

When you learn that somebody in Tab Hunter's position kept no memorobilia about himself you have to consider he might be somewhat of a real, genuine person.
