The ‘Damn Yankees!’ star passed away on July 8.
It was well-known Hollywood lore that studio head Jack Warner was “annoyed” that his studio did not have a record company to capitalize on Hunter’s vocal skills, so he started one.
Hunter was born Arthur Andrew Kelm on July 11,1931, in New York City, but later moved to California when he was young. At the age of 15, he entered the Coast Guard after lying about his age. He later pursued an acting career after his time in the service, changing his name to Tab Hunter. He was given the nickname “The Sigh Guy” and from 1955-59 was Warner Bros. top-grossing star.
In a 2015 interview with @THR, Tab Hunter discussed why after decades of silence he confirmed long-standing rumors about his homosexuality in his autobiography, published in 2005: “I didn’t want someone putting a spin on my life” https://t.co/McUz60EAhi
