Chris James Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 Okay, I admit it...I had the hots for Tab Hunter from day one. He had that star quality, a poster boy for beautiful men in the movies, and he was unreachable. Sigh. If I had only known he was gay in those early years of my life then perhaps my own struggles would have been easier. I don't imagine he enjoyed keeping his secret for so long. https://www.yahoo.com/movies/q-a-tab-hunter-opens-up-about-life-and-career-as-113603625717.html?soc_src=mail&soc_trk=ma Link to comment
Cole Parker Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 Ah, Tab Hunter. Sigh. C Link to comment
Cole Parker Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 I'm hearing that a lot lately. C Link to comment
JamesSavik Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 Hunter was before my time. My crushes... Leif Garrett... wow. I would have also like to have seen much, much more of Jacky Earl Haley. Garrett did the alcohol and tattoos thing to death and Haley ended up being Freddie Krueger. Ewww. As fate is a weird, weird thing, I ended up aging better than either of them. Link to comment

Chris James Posted March 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 Leif was a definite party boy and that included the gay scene. The corruption of Hollywood has rendered a lot of young men with their pants down. I would have paid to see that. Link to comment
FreeThinker Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 My crush when I was sixteen was Vince Van Patten, from the Sunday evening TV show Apple's Way. That wonderful seventies blond hair.... Link to comment
JamesSavik Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Here's another one- Brandon de Wilde (1942-72) played the little boy in Shane and was Admiral Torrey's (John Wayne) estranged son in In Harm's Way- where I fell for him. It's hard to find a good picture of him. de Wilde died tragically very young in a car accident at 30. Link to comment
Cole Parker Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Yeah, yeah, yeah! He was gorgeous. Always managed to look soulful. You wanted to just hold him and comfort him. C Link to comment
Lugnutz Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 The outside is just what you can see. You need to dig to find the venerable and unsure side. I'm finally getting post notifications now. It's only been a couple years. Link to comment
