Actor Tab Hunter, 'Damn Yankees!' star and '50s teen heartthrob, dies at 86
Actor and singer Tab Hunter, whose blond all-American good looks made him a matinee idol and poster boy for Eisenhower-era optimism, has died. He was 86.
Just three days shy of his 87th birthday, the 1950s heartthrob went into cardiac arrest on Sunday after a blood clot in his leg traveled to his lung, said Allan Glaser, Hunter's husband of 35 years, on Monday.
"He collapsed in my arms in the front lawn and I called 911 and we raced him to the hospital," Glaser told The Times. "It was sudden and unexpected."
Glaser said Hunter died at Santa Barbara
