  • Summary

  • Tab Hunter was an unassuming, gentle and simple young man, whose stunning good looks and hard earned acting skills, bagged him Hollywood film stardom and a remarkable recording career, which enabled him to make some the best remembered films and music of the 1950's. 

    Part of a generation of young movies stars, whose film careers, signalled the end of the Hollywood Studio system, in order to sustain his success and live as peaceful a life as fame allowed, Tab, along with several other young movie stars of his day, was forced to live a double life, in an era where movie stars were often expected to meet impossible expectations by their fans and society at large.

    Have a listen to the latest CHMTC episode about the life and career of the recently departed, teenage heartthrob and movie star, Tab Hunter, who despite the risks he incurred, as a result of his personal life, managed to achieve something that most movie actors can only dream of, a long life of solvency and happiness.

Really good

Interesting and well presented telling of lives of classic Hollywood movie stars. Especially liked the Tab Hunter and Sterling Hayden episodes. 2 men I didn't know much about until finding this informative podcast. Like other reviewer frustrated by background music- but persisted and found later episodes from Stuart Granger onwards have very little background music and much easier to hear. Will be listening to other episodes hoping presenter will produce a lot more without music.
