"The normally reserved Hunter's revelations in Confidential (yes, he named it after that tabloid) were surprising even to his longtime boyfriend Allan Glaser, 45. "He never talked about Tony Perkins. I knew about it because I read it in other books, but he's not gossipy," says Glaser, a producer who met Hunter at a 1983 pitch meeting. "This was like one long three-year psychoanalysis session he had to go through.""
Hunter had long-term relationships with actor Anthony Perkins and champion figure skater Ronnie Robertson, before settling down with his partner of over 35 years, film producer Allan Glaser. While serving in the U.S. Navy during the Vietnam War, his brother Walter was killed in action in South Vietnam on October 28, 1965.
