	glbtq >> arts >> Hudson, Rock
		Hudson's death, a few months later, focused world attention on the AIDS virus and its sufferers, enabling Hudson's friend Elizabeth Taylor and others to gain the ear of government and moneyed people who had hitherto been deaf and mute on the subject.
		Rock Hudson was probably the last of the manufactured stars, his screen presence bolstered by "beefcake" photographs, fan clubs, and an eternal bachelorhood briefly interrupted by an arranged marriage to Willson's secretary Phyllis Gates in 1955 (they were divorced in 1958).
		Hudson's charismatic mixture of seeming guilelessness and single-minded ambition, wearing a public mask until it was savagely ripped off him, places him firmly among the great American glamor icons: James Dean, Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, and President John F. Kennedy.

	Rock Hudson
		Rock Hudson rose to stardom as the virile hero of adventure films, and he then gained a flurry of female fans by starring in melodramas, like Magnificent Obsession.
		There was much talk about a biography of Rock Hudson being written in which his true story would be told, but it was apparent that it would not be allowed to happen.
		In fact Armistead Maupin claims that he changed details to avoid the character being recognised as Rock Hudson and that it was not meant to be about a specific person but rather about a type.

		Rock Hudson was born Roy Harold Scherer jr.
		Rock's Mother doted on her son and they always had a close relationship.
		Hudson entered a new phase of his career when he made Pillow Talk (1959) with Doris Day; a lively, fast-paced sex comedy, it demonstrated his adeptness with lighthearted, witty, and ever-so-slightly naughty material, and set the pattern for several spinoffs, also costarring Day.

		It was back in 1959 when Hollywood’s hunkiest leading man of over 40 pictures, Rock Hudson was paired with the wholesome girl next door, Doris Day for the first of their unforgettable trilogy of movies for Universal Pictures as some would say a match made in on-screen heaven...
		Rock, whose real life had been masqueraded by his strong heterosexual roles on film was in real life a gay man who was now dying from what was then a unfathomable new virus called AIDS.
		Rock's last public appearance was to be with his pal taping the show which saw them fondly reminiscing of the good old days.

	Rock Hudson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hudson was diagnosed with HIV on June 5, 1984, but when the signs of illness became apparent, his publicity staff and doctors told the public that he had liver cancer.
		Hudson lived out the remainder of his life with dignity, withstanding the ravages of his illness, the intrusions of the tabloid press, and the less than tasteful snickerings of the judgmental and misinformed.
		Hudson biographer, Sara Davidson, later stated that by the time she had met Rock Hudson, Christian was living in the guest house and Tom Clark, who had been Hudson's life partner for many years before, was living in the house.

	Rock Hudson - Synopsis - Moviefone
		Rock Hudson is a TV-biopic oversimplification of the life and career of the durable screen idol.
		Only a few of Hudson's personal and professional associates are depicted in the film: Daphne Ashbrook is seen as Phyllis Gates, Andrew Robinson (who'd portrayed Liberace in an earlier TV movie!) plays Hudson's manager Henry Wilson, and Don Galloway portrays John Frankenheimer, who directed Hudson in Seconds.
		Rock Hudson himself is played by Thomas Ian Griffith, who came from obscurity and promptly went back after this film was completed.

		A shirtless Hudson onscreen was far from rare, and tabloid articles on his womanizing ways could be found at the nearest newsstand.
		Hudson proved his ability and range as an actor by tackling nearly every genre, from Westerns and action-adventure films such as Winchester '73 (1950) and Ice Station Zebra (1968) to melodramas and socially motivated films such as Written on the Wind (1956) and Something of Value (1957).
		Hollywood and the public are quick to recognize and remember Rock Hudson as a courageous man valiantly fighting the deadly disease; sadly, his film repertoire ranks second in the minds of some.

	ROCK HUDSON'S HOME MOVIES (1992) Director: Mark Rappaport Stars: Eric Farr (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Hudson may have come off as beauty with no brains on the big screen, but it didn't take a genius to see the irony in lines like "My boss wants me to camp" [from Man's Favorite Sport (1964)] or the effete Tony Randall inquiring of Rock, "Need a light, cowboy?" [Pillow Talk, 1959].
		By the same token, though Rappaport assembles a truly exhaustive reel of scenes which show Rock behaving in ways that now seem clearly gay and using or reacting to dialogue that seems same-sexually charged, it's an exercise that is as banal in execution as it is clever in theory.
		Farr as Hudson waxes horny, identifying it as a scene he saw as a kid that simultaneously clued him in to his sexuality and that made him desire to be a movie star of Hall's caliber.

		And Hudson, for all his physique, was already possessed of comedic talent and more intelligence than his first films had time for.
		His best comedy by far is Hawks's Man's Favorite Sport (64), as memorably beset by Paula Prentiss as ever Grant was by Hepburn, and admirably clutching at the flawed calm of the angling authority who has never caught a fish.
		But Hudson became the first famous victim of AIDS in movies, and everything he ever did became recast or reappraised in the light of the tragedy.

	The proper use of Rock Hudson
		Sirk's always using his handsomeness against him--in Magnificent Obsession, to suggest an initial shalloweness, something Hudson has to struggle against and finally overcome; when he courts Wyman, his ardor suggest that of a drop-dead gorgeous but insecure actor courting his muse, wishing she would bestow on him the blessing of a great--or at least fascinating--performance.
		Hudson's character has got no insecurities, no neuroses, no hypocrisies, nothing to prove or achieve or hide, and the effect, the film seems to suggest, is to make him supremely calm and serene--to make the man, in effect, as physically magnetic as, well, Rock Hudson.
		But Hudson's the rock--the pure, unadulterated crystal that Sirk's melted down and fused--against which Wyman is able to turn and find dramatic traction; he focuses her energies in the direction Sirk intended.
