Yesterday, 8 July 2018, Hollywood heartthrob Tab Hunter passed away. With his blond, tanned, surfer-boy good looks, he was one of Hollywood’s hottest teen idols of the 1950s era. The American actor, singer, and author portrayed boy-next-door marines, cowboys and swoon-bait sweethearts in many films, and had a huge hit with the song Young Love (1957). He hid his homosexuality and his relationship with actor Anthony Perkins. When his career faded during the 1960s, he starred in Italy in Spaghetti Westerns. In the 1980s Hunter returned opposite Divine in the camp classics Polyester (1981) and Lust in the Dust (1985). Tab Hunter was 86.
Tab Hunter was born Arthur Andrew Kelm in New York City, in 1931. He was the son of Gertrude (Gelien) and Charles Kelm. Hunter's father was an abusive man and within a few years of his birth, his parents divorced and his mother moved with her two sons to California. Tab’s older brother Walter John Gelien (1930) would die in Vietnam in 1965 leaving seven children. As a teenager, Hunter was a figure skater, competing in both singles and pairs. He joined the U.S. Coast Guard at the age of 15, lying about his age to enlist. While in the Coast Guard, he gained the nickname ‘Hollywood’ for his penchant for watching movies rather than going to bars while on liberty. He was eventually discharged when the age deception was revealed. Returning home, his life-long passion for horseback riding led to a job with a riding academy. He was given the stage name Tab Hunter by his first agent, Henry Willson. With no previous experience Tab made his first, albeit minor, film debut in the racially trenchant drama The Lawless (Joseph Losey, 1950) starring Gail Russell. His fetching handsomeness and trim, athletic physique landed him a role in the British production Saturday Island (Stuart Heisler, 1952) opposite Linda Darnell. His shirt remained off for a good portion of the film, which certainly did not go unnoticed, and he was signed by Warner Bros. The Hollywood studio system artificially groomed him and nicknamed him ‘The Sigh Guy’. His co-starring role as young Marine Danny in the World War II drama Battle Cry (Raoul Walsh, 1955), made him one of Hollywood's top young romantic leads. In the film based on the Leon Uris novel, Hunter has an affair with an older woman (Dorothy Malone), but ends up marrying the girl next door (Mona Freeman).
In September 1955, the tabloid magazine Confidential reported Tab Hunter's 1950 arrest following an L.A. raid on a ‘pajama party’ in Walnut Park. Tab was eventually fined $50 for a reduced ‘disorderly conduct’ charge after originally being charged with ‘idle, lewd or dissolute conduct.’ The article, and a second one focusing on Rory Calhoun's prison record, were the result of a deal Henry Willson had brokered with Confidential in exchange for not revealing his client Rock Hudson's sexual orientation. Surprisingly this article had no negative effect on Hunter's career. His hit films of these years include The Burning Hills (Stuart Heisler, 1955) with Natalie Wood, The Girl He Left Behind (David Butler, 1956), and Gunman’s Walk (Phil Karlson, 1957) with Van Heflin. Hunter, James Dean, and Natalie Wood were the last of the actors placed under exclusive studio contract to Warner Bros. In 1957, Hunter had a hit record with the song Young Love, which was #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for six weeks and became one of the larger hits of the Rock & Roll era. Another hit record was Ninety-Nine Ways, which peaked at #11. His success prompted Jack L. Warner to enforce the actor's contract with the Warner Bros. studio by banning Dot Records, the label for which Hunter had recorded the single (and which was owned by rival Paramount Pictures), from releasing a follow-up album he had recorded for them. He established Warner Bros. Records specifically for Hunter.
In 1958, Hunter starred in the musical film Damn Yankees (George Abbott, Stanley Donen, 1958), in which he played Joe Hardy of Washington DC's American League baseball club. Another success was That Kind of Woman (Sidney Lumet, 1959) with Sophia Loren. Hunter was Warner Bros.' top money-grossing star from 1955 through 1959.
Tab Hunter's failure to win the role of Tony in the film adaptation of West Side Story (Jerome Robbins, Robert Wise, 1961) prompted him to agree to star in a weekly television sitcom. In 1960, prior to the program's debut, he was arrested by the police for allegedly beating his dog Fritz. His 11-day trial started in mid-October, a month after The Tab Hunter Show debuted on on NBC. The neighbour who initiated the charges had done so for spite when Hunter declined her repeated invitations to dinner, and he was acquitted by the jury. The Tab Hunter Show had moderate ratings and was cancelled after one season. Following the film comedy The Pleasure of His Company (George Seaton, 1961) opposite Debbie Reynolds, the quality of his films fell off drastically during the 1960s. In Italy he made the fantasy L'arciere delle mille e una notte/The Golden Arrow (Antonio Margheriti, 1962) with Rossana Podestà . In Great Britain he starred in The City Under the Sea (Jacques Tourneur, 1965) with Vincent Price. For a short time in the late 1960s, after several seasons of starring in summer stock and dinner theatre in shows such as Bye Bye Birdie, The Tender Trap and Under the Yum Yum Tree. Hunter settled in the south of France, and acted in Spaghetti Westerns like El dedo del destino/The Cups of San Sebastian (Richard Rush, 1967) and La vendetta è il mio perdono/Shotgun (Roberto Mauri, 1968). During the 1970 he worked mainly for TV but also starred in the horror film Sweet Kill (Curtis Hanson, 1972) and appeared in the Western The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean (John Huston, 1972). His career was revived in the 1980s, when he spoofed his old clean-cut image by appearing opposite Divine in the camp classics Polyester (John Waters, 1981) and Lust in the Dust (Paul Bartel, 1985), which Hunter also co-produced. He then played Mr. Stewart, the substitute teacher in Grease 2 (Patricia Birch, 1982), who sang Reproduction. Hunter had a major role in the horror film Cameron's Closet (Armand Mastroianni, 1988). He also wrote, co-produced and starred in Dark Horse (David Hemmings, 1992). Hunter's autobiography, Tab Hunter Confidential: The Making of a Movie Star (2006), co-written with Eddie Muller, became a New York Times best-seller as did the paperback edition in 2007. In the book, he acknowledged that he was gay, confirming rumours that had circulated since the height of his fame. According to William L. Hamilton of The New York Times, detailed reports about Hunter's alleged romances with close friends Debbie Reynolds and Natalie Wood, were strictly the fodder of studio publicity departments. Hunter had a long-term relationship with actor Anthony Perkins and shorter flings with dancer Rudolf Nureyev and champion figure skater Ronnie Robertson, before settling down with his partner of over 30 years, Allan Glaser. In 2015 Glaser produced the documentary Tab Hunter Confidential (Jeffrey Schwarz, 2015), based on Hunter’s autobiography, which re-entered the New York Times Best Seller list during the release of the documentary.

In 2009, the Welsh actress starred in the pantomime Cinderella at my local theatre in Woking. She had earlier broken through as 'Just Judy' in Love Actually and subsequently became a more familiar face as 'Stacey' in Gavin and Stacey.
She is actually seen here switching on the Christmas lights in my town.

I met Mark years ago. He started as an actor with our company.
We struck up a good friendship about two years ago when we partnered in a website dream to sell Photoshop courses.
We re-designed the site, watched over it like anxious parents. When things didn't work out, we re-designed it again...and again. We are currently talking about (you guessed it) re-designing it again.
Then he said he was moving to China. Mark has always had a "yen" for for all things Chinese. He's been there for a year. (Yeah, yeah, Mark. I know "yen" is Japanese...but...well...it's 4 in the freaking morning...geez.)
Mark came back to Canada for a family celebration.
We'd always talked about having a few bottles of Stella when he got back to town.
Tuesday night we did.
Here is my friend, Mark.
He tells me that he has seen every image I have posted. I ask him why he he has never said a word or made a single comment on my images...and he says he will...and then does it in Chinese.
That's Mark.
He's single. And he is one of the good guys.
He enjoys long walks on the beach, discussions about all kinds of sensitive crap and talking about his (and your) inner child...and is prepared to do all of the above until the Stella runs out.
Sheree and I are off to the Indy again today. It is "holy crap what am I doing awake?" early. We leave before the sun comes up and get home long after it's down...so I won't have much time for flickr-ing.
So if you're used to having me comment on your photos and haven't seen me around, that's why.

If Weimar cinema had one film star, then it was Emil Jannings (1884-1950) for sure. He was a great actor in the silent era and won the first Oscar for Best Actor. Too bad that during his later years he worked as a board member for the Ufa propaganda machine during the Third Reich.
Jannings was born Theodor Friedrich Emil Janenz in Rorschach (Switzerland), and grew up in Leipzig and Görlitz. He left gymnasium prematurely and worked as ship's mate. In 1900 he started to work at the Görlitz Stadttheater, after which he played in several provincial theaters and with travelling companies. Occasionally he directed plays too. In 1914 he reached Berlin where he was engaged in 1915-1916 at Max Reinhardt's Theater. In between he played on stage elsewhere and had his first film role in the war propagandafilm Im Schützengraben [In the Trenches] Until 1920 Jannings continued to play on stage, getting ever bigger roles.
From 1916 on, Emil Jannings played more and more in film, mostly in quickly staged melodramas and crime stories. In 1919 he had his big breakthrough as Louis XV in the lavish period piece Madame Dubarry, directed by his former theater colleague Ernst Lubitsch. The film was such an international hit that former war adversaries such as the United States embraced German cinema. Jannings and his co-actress Pola Negri (Dubarry) became instant stars. For a while he continued to play debauched rulers such as Henry V in Lubitsch' Anna Boleyn (1920), Amenes in Lubitsch' Weib des Pharao (1921) and czar Peter the Great in Peter der Grosse (Dimitri Buchowetzki 1922). Other strong historical characters were the title roles in Otello (1921-22) and Danton (1921) both by Buchowetzki. After the Italo-German co-production Quo Vadis? (1923-24), in which he incorporated emperor Nero, Jannings managed to get away from his historical characters with two major films. In F.W. Murnau's Der letzte Mann/The Last Laugh (1924) he was a proud hotel doorman who looses his self-esteem and that of others when he is reduced to a toilet man, working in the basement of the hotel. In Varieté/Variety (1925) by E.A. Dupont he is the strong acrobat, who kills his rival out of jealousy. Jannings magnificently expressed the fears and doubts of big, proud and big-hearted men, who are cheated by their surroundings.
The success of these films earned Jannings a 3-year contract with Paramount. Here he played again men who had a social position and then end in misery such as The Way of All Flesh (1927) and The Last Command (1928). They earned him the first Oscar ever distributed to an actor. Together with Lubitsch he tried to repeat their German successes in The Patriot (1928). When sound came in, Jannings left Hollywood and returned to Berlin, where he was launched in his first sound film Der blaue Engel/The Blue Angel (1929), directed by Ernst Lubitsch and based on a novel by Heinrich Mann, Professor Unrat. Jannings is the local university professor Von Rath who falls in love with cabaret singer Lola-Lola (Marlene Dietrich). Married to him she shamelessly exploits and humiliates him. When the film came out, Dietrich's populariy overshadowed Jannings. The film was her ticket to Hollywood. Jannings returned to play on stage, until 1936.
With his sound films of the early 1930s, Jannings could not compete with his earlier successes. Only after the nazi's came to power, his star rose again, while playing rulers, just like in the early 1920s but this time not the decadent versions anymore. He performed historical characters such as Friedrich Wilhelm I in Der alte und der junge König (1934-35), Geheimrat Clausen in der Herrscher (1936-37), the title roles in Robert Koch (1939) and Ohm Kruger (1941) and Bismarck in Die Entlassung (1942). All predecessors to Hitler, to be understood. In 1936 he became board member of Ufa and in 1938 he was chairman there. He was allowed to direct his own films, and thus was the main responsable for Ohm Kruger, one of the most expensive flms of the nazi era. His historical films contributed to the legitimization of the modern politics. In January 1945 he broke up work to the film Wo ist Herr Belling?, because of an illness. The film, never ended, was his last film. In 1946 Jannings was denazified and in 1950 he died in Austria.
Too bad about Jannings' last years, because he was a great actor in the silent era, one of the biggest (in every which way).
