An on-and-off liaison with Anthony Perkins was difficult because Perkins was terrified of being outed by the scandal magazine Confidential, as Tab Hunter actually was. Mr. Hunter’s waggish landlord had superior gaydar and promptly dubbed the boyfriend “Ma Perkins.”
Perkins was also more of a careerist. Mr. Hunter starred in the TV production of Fear Strikes Out, but Warner Bros. wouldn’t buy it for him; Perkins convinced Paramount, to whom he was under contract, to buy it for him. All’s fair in love, war and careers: “Our relationship didn’t end after that,” Mr. Hunter writes, “but it definitely changed. We still saw each other, but from then on we weren’t nearly as close.”
