Tab Hunter Confidential, reviewed for Ellroy Reads
May 3, 2026
For the latest episode of Ellroy Reads, I review the classic Hollywood memoir Tab Hunter Confidential: The Making of a Movie Star. Tab Hunter lived a fascinating life which sometimes reads like a James Ellroy novel – he was virtually outed by Confidential magazine and one of his finest roles was as the real-life murderer Donald Bashor.
Tab Hunter Confidential was co-written or ghost-written by Eddie Muller, and I talk a little about Muller’s longstanding professional partnership with Ellroy. Enjoy the episode and do remember to subscribe to the channel, like, comment and share the material.
