Rock Hudson Like many gay celebrities he too found his way to Fire Island.
Rock Hudson: 1925-1985: The Double Life of an AIDS Victim"One of these days I'm going to have a lot to tell," Rock Hudson once promised a friend. The day never came, and when Hudson died of AIDS at his home in Beverly Hills last week, his story, as he alone might have told it, died with him. But it was clear that the role he played in life was more dramatic, and infinitely sadder, than any of the parts he had assumed in 65 movies and several TV series. For 37 years he had led a double life: in public he was a romantic star, adored by millions of women, admired by millions of men; in private he was a homosexual who bitterly resented the lies and deceptions that he felt had been forced upon him.
A gay man with major ambitions in a prejudiced world, Hudson valiantly tried to be all things to all people—as Mark Griffin writes in All That Heaven Allows: A Biography of Rock Hudson.
Written at Rock Hudson's request and with the cooperation of his closest friends, this is the definitive portrait of one of Hollywood's most enduring stars.
