Tab Hunter Dies; Hollywood Legend and Gay Icon Was 86
Tab Hunter, the long-time Hollywood heartthrob who portrayed Joe Hardy in the film Damn Yankees!, died Sunday might in Santa Barbara.
He was 86 years old.
Considered a fan favorite of movie fans in the 1950s, Hunter passed away from a blood clot that led to a heart attack, according to his romantic partner, Allan Glaser.
Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Glaser said Hunter’s death was “unexpected and sudden.”
Elsewhere, a Facebook account linked to the star also announced his passing with a message that read as follows:
“SAD NEWS: Tab passed away tonight three days shy of his 87th birthday.
“Please honor his memory by saying a prayer on his behalf. He would have liked that.”
As part of his impressive resume, Hunter also recorded a number-one record and starred in two outlandish films with the drag queen Divine.
This last career achievement is notable for the following reason…
After many decades of silence, Hunter confirmed long-gestating rumors about his homosexuality in his autobiography, Tab Hunter Confidential: The Making of a Movie Star, which was published in 2005.
He penned the memoir and made the personal admission after learning that someone else was planning to out him in a separate book.
Back in his professional prime, Hunter was more than just a leading man.
Due to his blonde hair and his physique, the actor covered numerous teen magazines and was even the main face (errrr, body?) of a 2000 book titled “Shirtless! The Hollywood Male Physique.”
After Hunter beat out James Dean and Paul Newman to play a young Marine in Raoul Walsh’s Battle Cry (1955), Warner Bros. picked up his option and signed him to a seven-year contract.
From there, he appeared in The Girl He Left Behind (1956) and Burning Hills (1956).
In 1958, Hunter was tabbed to play the central role in the big screen adaption of Damn Yankees! and then his career truly took off.
Long after he stopped anchoring movies, however, Hunter returned to the news after he came out of the closet.
He wrote at the time that he kept his homosexuality under wraps all those years ago because it was simply unheard of for a gay man to be a movie star.
“When you’re under contract to a studio,” he wrote, “your job is to do as they say. If you have a job, do your job.”
“I knew what I was,” Hunter told People Magazine in 2005. “I just never talked about it.”
Hunter and Glaser were together for over 30 years.
“If I had come out during my acting career in the 1950s, I would not have had a career,” Hunter said in an October 2017 interview, adding:
“Not much in Hollywood has changed in 60 years. I really didn’t talk about my sexuality until I wrote my autobiography.
“My film career had long since been over by then. I believe one’s sexuality is one’s own business. I really don’t go around discussing it. Call me ‘old school’ on that topic.”
A feature documentary about him, also titled Tab Hunter Confidential, was released in 2015 and produced by Glaser.
May Tab Hunter rest in peace.

Dog the Bounty Hunter: Beth Chapman is Now Cancer-Free!
Back in September, we all heard the grim news that Dog the Bounty Hunter"s wife, Beth Chapman, was diagnosed with throat cancer.
It"s only been a little more than two months, and we already have a great update on that front: she is now cancer-free.
In the video below, you"ll see Dog and Beth receive the very good news, and the whole family"s response.
Dog The Bounty Hunter, whose real name is Duane Chapman, is a larger-than-life, eccentric, and often controversial reality personality.
But no, he"s not actually a parody. This is a real person.
And so is his wife, Beth Chapman.
A&E"s series Dog The Bounty Hunter captivated audiences in its run from 2004 to 2012, and that was only the start of the couple"s reality career.
This time, Beth even made the title of CMT"s Dog & Beth: On the Hunt. That series ran from 2013 to 2015.
Even people who never sat down and actually watched Dog and Beth on either series developed some affection for the couple, particularly as they were parodied. Both Dog and Beth were memorably portrayed on South Park, for example.
So the news that Beth Chapman was diagnosed with Stage II throat cancer had a far reach.
But obviously, no one was more impacted than Beth and her actual loved ones.
In the A&E special, Dog & Beth: Fight of Their Lives, we see Dog answer the phone.
We can"t hear what"s being said to him, and he keeps a fairly straight face.
(It"s reality television, folks — you gotta build that drama, and Dog knows that)
But he was hearing the results of a pathology report on Beth, who has clearly (as you"ll see in the video) been treated for the cancer that had been impairing her ability to speak.
Dog walks over to Beth and her family, who are all clearly hoping for the best but perhaps fearing the worst.
Dog delivers the news:
The pathology report was negative — there"s no cancer detected!
Beth is relieved, and comes forward and hugs Dog, who also speaks to the camera about the results:
"There is a God. This could be a miracle. This could be a healing."
Dog has never been shy about his Christian beliefs, often expressing them to fugitives whom he captured on camera.
Dog continued:
"[The doctor] said if I wasn"t such a good husband it wouldn"t have worked out that great. Oh I can breathe. Beth Chapman, you did it."
We"re trying to imagine what the doctor might have said along those lines — maybe "it"s good that you were supportive of your wife; cancer patients need that."
We know that it sounds like Dog is trying to take credit for Beth"s remission but he just talks a little strangely.
Anyway, we are absolutely delighted by the news. Obviously, no one"s stake in this was as personal as Beth"s, but the world can breathe a sigh of relief.
Cancer is the absolute worst.
In this video below, in addition to the good news and Beth"s family"s reactions, you can see Dog express his fears.
No one wants to have to bury a loved one, and Dog is among them. He says that he would want to die before Beth because he doesn"t know that he could bear it.
That"s understandable. Maybe now he won"t have to think about that for a long while. Hopefully, ever again.

Beth Chapman: Dog The Bounty Hunter Star Diagnosed With Throat Cancer
Beth Chapman, the wife of Dog the Bounty Hunter, is battling stage two throat cancer.
The star confirmed the news to Radar Online.
“As most of you know I’ve spent a lifetime facing tests and challenges I didn’t see coming and certainly never expected,” Chapman’s statement begins.
“I’ve been dealt my share of unexpected blows over the course of my almost fifty years but nothing as serious as the one I heard from my doctors two weeks ago when they uttered those dreaded three words, ‘You have cancer."”
The reality star has confirmed it is a T2 tumor in her throat and it is affecting her breathing. The big issue plaguing the Dog the Bounty Hunter star is that doctors want surgery to proceed before the disease spreads.
“To be certain, I’ve stared down the devil more than once in my life but I’ve never faced a real life or death decision. My life has never been easy, and I surely don’t expect it to start now,” she wrote.
“Still, I’ve never been a victim and I won’t let cancer beat me. I realize the road I am about to travel will be rocky, full of unexpected twists and turns. But I know one thing for sure. A bend in the road is not the end of the road.”
It’s certainly a good way of looking at things. While some people would break down at the thought of such a harsh disease taking over their body, Beth is not ready to give up and sees this as a mere hurdle along the way.
“I will fight every step of the way. My husband and children are counting on me to be there for years to come,” Beth wrote to her followers. “I am so very grateful to be surrounded by family and friends who have given me incredible support during this very challenging time.”
Beth became a firm favorite with fans of reality TV when she appeared on Dog the Bounty Hunter with her husband, Duane Chapman and their family.
The series was a huge hit, airing from 2004-2012, but that was not the end of their grip on the reality TV world. After leaving A&E behind, they moved over to CMT to headline Dog & Beth: On the Hunt.
That show aired from 2013-2015, and the family has steered clear from the reality TV cameras since, but that’s not to say they are not still very popular.
They still have legions of fans across of the world.
We at THG would like to wish Beth a full and speedy recovery.
