Tab Hunter Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jul. 9, 2018.
Tab Hunter, the blond actor and singer who was a heartthrob for millions of teenagers in the 1950s with such films as "Battle Cry" and "Damn Yankees!" and received new attention decades later when he revealed that he was gay, has died. He was 86.

Producer and spouse Allan Glaser said Hunter died Sunday of a blood clot in his leg that caused cardiac arrest. Glaser called the death was "sudden and unexpected."

Hunter was a star for several years. In addition to his hit movies, his recording of "Young Love" topped the Billboard pop chart in 1957.

But in his 2005 memoir, "Tab Hunter Confidential: The Making of a Movie Star," Hunter recounted the stresses of being a love object to millions of young women when he was, in reality, a gay man.

"I believed, wholeheartedly — still do — that a person's happiness depends on being true to themselves," he wrote. "The dilemma, of course, that was being true to myself — and I'm talking sexually now — was impossible in 1953."

Among those stars honoring Hunter on Monday included Harvey Fierstein, who called Hunter a "gay icon" and a "true gentleman," adding, "We shared some good laughs back in the 80's. I was always fond of this dear man."

Born Arthur Andrew Kelm, his screen tab (slang for "name" at the time) was fabricated by Henry Willson, the same talent agent who came up with the names Rock Hudson and Rory Calhoun.

The legend goes that Willson said to the young man: "We've got to find something to tab you with. Do you have any hobbies?" His client answered, "I ride horses. Hunters." Agent: "That's it! We'll call you Tab Hunter."

With no dramatic training, Hunter was cast in a minor role in the 1950 drama, "The Lawless." The fuss over the young actor began two years later when he appeared bare-chested opposite Linda Darnell in the British-made "Island of Desire." Soon his handsome face and muscular build appeared on magazine covers. Warner Bros., alert to the increasingly important youth market, signed him to a contract.

Hunter made a flurry of movies in the latter half of the 1950s, aimed at capitalizing on his popularity with young girls. The films included such war dramas as "Battle Cry" (with Van Heflin) and "Lafayette Escadrille" (Clint Eastwood in a small role). He made the Westerns "The Burning Hills" (Natalie Wood) and "They Came to Cordura" (Gary Cooper, Rita Hayworth). And he made romantic comedies like "The Pleasure of His Company" (Fred Astaire, Debbie Reynolds.)

A highlight was the 1958 "Damn Yankees!," an adaptation of the hit Broadway musical with Gwen Verdon and Ray Walston in their Tony-winning New York roles and the original director, George Abbott, sharing direction with Stanley Donen.

Besides the movies, he displayed his athletic skills — he had been a figure skater as well as horseman — in a TV special, "Hans Brinker, or the Silver Skates."

As with so many pop idols, his fans grew up and a new generation sought other favorites. His slide followed the classic pattern: to a television series ("The Tab Hunter Show," on NBC, 1960-62); European films ("The Golden Arrow") and cheap kid flicks ("Ride the Wild Surf.") In his memoir, he took pains to note that "Ride the Wild Surf" was his only beach-party movie; his "Operation Bikini," despite its title, was "yet another war movie."

Over the years, he also played small roles in "The Loved One," ''The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean" and "Grease 2."

In the 1980s, he won new fans by appearing in cult movies with Divine, the 300-pound transvestite, notably John Waters' 1981 "Polyester" and Paul Bartel's 1985 "Lust in the Dust," co-produced by Hunter himself.

Of "Polyester," Hunter wrote: "Everybody got the joke. ... For both John and me, our collaboration paid huge dividends: I'd helped 'legitimize' his brand of movie, and he made me 'hip' overnight."

Hunter appeared on Broadway in 1964 in Tennessee Williams' "The Milk Train Doesn't Stop Here Anymore" opposite the formidable Tallulah Bankhead. The play closed within days, and he said it was "completely buried under Tallulah's offhanded trademark campiness."

Hunter was born in 1931 in New York City, the second son of a mechanic and his German immigrant wife. His father left the family two years later and the boy took his mother's name, Gelien. Young Arthur Gelien grew up in San Francisco and Long Beach, California, and joined the Coast Guard at 15, lying about his age.

While in New York, he saw Broadway plays and became interested in acting. Back in California, Willson arranged for a two-word role in a small Western, "The Lawless." He got $500 and a new name.

In his memoir, he said that his career flourished despite some innuendo and smear articles in the scandal sheets — "clear evidence that despite its self-righteous claims, 'Confidential' magazine did not influence the taste and opinions of mainstream America."

Writing the book was difficult, he told The Associated Press in 2005, "because I'm a really private person. I grew up full of denial. I just didn't like any suggestions or questioning of my sexuality."

In 1960, Hunter's boy-next-door reputation did take a hit when he was charged with cruelty for allegedly beating his dog. (He was acquitted). In recent years, Hunter appeared in dinner theaters and organized film projects. After living on a ranch in New Mexico for a time, he took a home in Montecito with his Glaser.

He didn't dwell on his Hollywood career or regret losing it. "I had my fling, and I was very fortunate," he remarked. "But that's all in my past."

I had the pleasure of meeting Tab l worked in a ski shop in Newport Beach, CA. He was raising and training horses I Laguna Beach. I sold him a few parkas over the years. He was such handsome and charming and always gracious. It was fun to watch middle aged ladies get excited when they recognized him. He was beautiful inside and out. I always enjoyed our visits. Tab was a class act

He lost his brother, Walter, in 1965, in Vietnam. He was 35 years of age. Tab took care of Walter's seven children and widow. He never forgot his brother or his sense of duty to Walter's family.
Tab is to be praised for his love and honor to his brother. My brother is, also, a Vietnam Casualty, May of 1967. I, too, have not forgotten my brother, either. Tab was a good man, son, brother and partner.
He was loyal and had a keen sense of class and dignity. I am sorry to see him go, but, perhaps, he has gone to a better place, and is, now, with his brother Walter? It is my sincere wish that Tab be with his brother as it is my sincere wish to be with my brother Michael.

I painted this in oils, these Rose's will last forever !

I have memories of my mother talking about Tab Hunter during my childhood. I have just now begun to appreciate his kind spirit and dedication to his craft.

Tab had the look of the All American Boy. Having him as a boyfriend was what preteen and young teenage girls dreamed about. Tab had a lot of charm throughout his career, charm that he continued to exhibit in his personal life. He had such a positive outlook on life. Tab will surely be missed.

Such and honor knowing you from showing horses and years after saw Tab Hunter Confidential in Ojai. No surprise because we knew lots of the gay guys in the 1960's at horse shows and we didn't care---it didn't matter, they were our friends and I was 14. Mom , when she travelled with me, didn't care either. Also, remember JJ Smith well and what a hoot. JJ told my Mom he went to Vassar and she thought it was really funny. Tab, most important, you were such a nice person and loved horses as I did. RIP and condolences to your husband. I lost my husband of 41 years this Easter and it is really hard------41 years for me and 35 years for Allan aren't enough. Thinking of Allan.

July 12, 2018

I was very saddened to learn of the death of Tab Hunter, one of the most handsome young actors the Hollywood studio system ever produced, who was also a talented singer, equestrian and ice skater and seemed like a genuinely nice guy.

In my mind Mr. Hunter will always be that handsome blond boy in his 20s who sure could fill out a Speedo swimsuit nicely and had a warm, inviting smile.

I hope someday more episodes of Tab's largely forgotten but amusing, eponymously-titled NBC sitcom will surface for all to enjoy. That series has not been seen by most persons at this point and not by some since the last summer reruns in 1961, nearly 60 years ago.

My condolences to Mr. Hunter's family and friends. I hadn't even known Tab was in poor health. And it's trite and wrong to say something like, "Well, 86 years is a good long life." It is still always sad when a nice person leaves us, no matter how old that person is at the time of his passing. I also know, when a celebrity of a certain age passe, it is often stated that so-and-so "is one of the last of his kind." But in the case of Mr. Hunter that is pretty nearly true. There simply aren't very many Hollywood actors from Mr. Hunter's era still living among us. And the sadder thing is there aren't very many younger actors around today who possess the same versatile talents of actors such as Tab Hunter. Hollywood is a different animal today, and in some ways not for the better.

Tab Hunter is truly a Hollywood legend. He was a legend in his time and will continue to be so for the ages. I think the best way to honor Tab is to continue to watch the films and television programs in which he acted and listen to his several musical recordings still available.

Barry Leece

July 12, 2018

Deepest sympathies on the passing of such a fine human being. His talent and honesty are an inspiration, and the real legacy, of Mr. Hunter. We got to know Tab many years ago while he was living in Santa Fe. He was always quick with a kind word and a genuine smile. He will be sorely missed.
