TAB HUNTER

Tab Hunter was an actor from the 1950s to the 2000s. Some of his movies include: Battle Cry, Damn Yankees!, and The City Under the Sea. He resurfaced in the 1980s, playing the leads in two John Waters films: Polyester, and Lust in the Dust. He was initially billed as the "Sigh-Guy", and teen girls loved him, not knowing his secret, which was that he was a gay homosexual actor at a time when you could not "come out of the closet", and the studios manufactured romances for him, including a notable one with Natalie Wood. He finally came out of the closet in a tell-all book that he wrote in 2003, but it was not published until 2005. Hunter married Allan Glaser, his companion since 1983, in 2018. Tab passed away in 2018 at the age of 86.
