TAB HUNTER (1957) Portrait

New York: Rapho-Guillemette, 1957. Vintage original 8 1/4 x 7 3/4″ (21 x 20 cm) borderless double weight black-and-white photo, USA. With stamp on verso of photographer L. P. Rodewald, and a date stamp of 5-19-57. Fine.

Tab Hunter was 25 years-old when this photo was taken, and at the height of his career as a Hollywood leading man. For a couple of years he was one of the top movie stars, and there was an immense following for the handsome young blond man, whose homosexuality was kept very carefully shielded from the public.
