Hunter was mentioned in the Doc. Henry Wilson was known for picking out "cute boys" like Rock and Tab (along with Roger Moore and Doug McClure...really). Tab Hunter (real name, Art Gelien), was 'sacrificed' to keep Hudson's true nature secret. Although, even as a teenager in the 1970s, I knew he was gay.

I was hearing it in the early sixties from a few people I knew (parents' friends), who'd tried (pretty unsuccessfully) to become screenwriters. one of them was named Speed Lambkin....if you want a few nasty laughs, his famous house can be found if you google him. his sister stayed in Hollywood and became a dialect coach for southern accents. first she married Harry Brown (author of the "Walk in the Sun" novel), then ended up married to some kind of English lord...she was universally despised by her old friends for her lifelong stated desire to become as rich as possible.

The Hunter documentary goes into that a lot deeper.
