What are the best documentaries on classic stars?

HBO Max has a good one on Mary Tyler Moore.

R1, I'll have to watch

I watched a really good one on Rock Hudson on HBO last year. It was excellent. There was a whole world of closeted gay stars. Rock Hudson was the first big A list star who just happened to be gay. It’s sad how homophobia ruins lives. And this homophobia is built until every fabric of our culture minus the fashion world. I can’t even imagine what gay black men who were in the industry had to deal with, of course remained closeted, probably had to abuse drugs to cope. Hudson was flawed of course, he was a republican lol. It’s just really good; everyone should watch it. And then the AIDS epidemic killed a lot of them and made mainstream society even more homophobic.

R3, I have to see that

“Tab Hunter Confidential”.

I just watched the first part of the Billy Joel doc on HBO Max. I had no idea that his first wife was so involved and influential in his success. It was very good.

The Love Goddesses (1965)

The 2020 HBO documentary on Natale Wood is good.

Is the Montgomery Clift documentary that was done by his nephew good?

I saw the Elizabeth Taylor doc on a plane a few months back, and I really enjoyed it. I think that was an HBO as well.

Yeah -- it was. Just found a link.

I liked the HBO documentary on Faye Dunaway.
