The Untold Truth Of Rock Hudson
Вставка
- Опубліковано 31 лип 2024
- For decades, Rock Hudson was one of the biggest stars in Hollywood. Best friends with Elizabeth Taylor and Doris Day, and known for his feud with his Giant co-star James Dean, Hudson's natural charisma, charm, and kindness made his fans and friends around the globe. And with dozens of feature films like "Magnificent Obsession," "Ice Station Zebra," and "A Farewell to Arms" - not to mention hit TV shows like "Dynasty" and "McMillan and Wife" - Hudson cemented his place in Hollywood history.
But as a gay man in conservative Hollywood, Hudson also had to hide his true self. Tragically, he died of AIDS in 1985, becoming a symbol of the Reagan administration's denial of LGBTQ rights. Here's the untold truth of Rock Hudson.

He must have been a really lovely person for everyone to want to protect him, especially Elizabeth Taylor and Doris Day who both seemed to have a great deal of affection for him. Thank you for doing this video about him.
Everyone in Hollywood liked Rock and plenty absolutely adored him. Even the journalists had nothing bad to say about him. That’s quite rare.
When Rock met President Kennedy, President Kennedy said that all of the Fitgerald's are related. Rock replied I'm sure Ella will be glad to hear that.
He was so handsome and his voice makes me melt.
My Mom liked him so I grew up watching him in films and on TV. He seemed like a lovely man.
He seemed like a very sweet man
i'm hiv+ i have been for 14 years it made me quite upset when i read how they treated rock hudson
after his death
What did they do or say?????????????????????
Good for you Jack
Rock Hudson with an absolutely gorgeous person inside and out and it's absolute shame he had to live his life in an era where he couldn't be who he truly was and to lose his life to aids was such a tragedy
I agree,he seemed like a gentle sweet man. He was so gorgeous inside and out
Why wasn't he more careful???????????????????
@Wendy Nichols he contacted it before ppl even knew what it was or how to get it? And even so that doesn't man he deserved to suffer and die.
It’s truly a shame but it’s a result of his own lifestyle choices so who can you blame but him
..... and I love pillow talk! There's a cameo of him in cactus flower that he just showed up for....
Thank you.
He was a remarkable man and actor
Friends kept his secret. People were classier back in the day.
And he kept his secret from his boyfriend while still sleeping with him... That was evil not classy.
This is such an insufferable comment. People were not more this or that 70 years ago, people have always been great and terrible
There were so many scum back in the day you would cry dude
In a way I guess, but people are more accepting of homosexuality now
@@TheYouPooppeople are getting worse and worse
Yes I agree everyone had a great deal of respect and love for rock . I’ve read a number of biographies of rock and the consensus from them all was that he was a real gentleman with no airs or graces. His fellow actors loved him , it was a tragedy he lived in an era of widespread homophobia, he was indeed a gentle giant of stature and talent.
the Reagans have always known about Hudson, but were still friends.
He romance his wife Jane Wyman in All that heaven allowed and magnificent obsession.
God , he was so handsome, when he contracted the AIDS virus, it ravished his body & good looks so sad RIP Rock
What a waste
PHENOMENAL PHENOMENAL ACTOR 👑👑👑👑
Rock was the MAN!!!! How hot was he!!!! He and Doris Day were a perfect match!!!!! Loved all their movie's!!!! Loved, GIANT, just a great 🎥🍿🎥🍿🎥!!!!!! From Michigan.... 🥀🥀🥀🥀❤️❤️❤️❤️.....
That's terrible that an American famous actor got no help from the Reagans and we all know it was because he had AIDS and was Gay.
I think that was very sad of the Reagans....and the rest l cannot express or say.....😮RIP Rock Hudson❤
It's so hard to protect young very good looking sons from predators like the officer who first went after 18 year old Hudson ( who loved a girlfriend at the time) when he joined the military. I try my best to protect my own son whom relatives state looks like a young John F Kennedy Jr. Since he was old enough to walk, I have caught intense stares from women and men when in stores, elevators, restaurants or any public place. Many commented that he was georgeous or beautiful, but others just stared in what was not a very wholesome way. As he grew older into his teens our family had a health club membership, so we'd often go together. I was very uncomfortable with the well built men, probably in their 30's-50's who would make a habit of working on machines next to him in order to start a conversation and build a relationship. I didn't want to pry as he was a teen by then, but I did ask, and he mentioned that in so many words he had to tell them, "Thanks, but no thanks." I'm glad he isn't in the military and wasnt forced to acsquisend to something that he had no intention of doing in the first place that would change his life forever.
Rock Hudson was my man in the movie, "GIANT" . It must have really influenced me, since I ended up in Texas from California and married a Texan (with a ranch!)....
I love that movie.
Yeah, that was a great movie. Everyone in it played a really interesting realistic character. I don't think any of the cast are alive today. Does anyone know?
@@brucer4170
Carol Baker, Jane Withers, Rod Taylor and Earl Holliman are the only cast members still alive. James Dean would have been in his 90s if he was still alive! Most of the main players died in very old age (except, of course Dean, and Sal Mineo, who was murdered at 37, I think). I worked in Hollywood for a couple of years in the early 90s, and every movie has accidents and deaths, mainly because there are so many people involved that the odds are that some people will have an accident or something, especially when you're dealing with "creative" types that may have a higher chance of dealing with drug and alchohol issues, or risky behavior. Only when the movies are horror themed do you hear a lot about happenings on the sets, like random illnesses and accidents. They happen on every set.
@@christineparis5607 Thanks for the info Christine.
Good for you! Hope you are enjoying your life
Informative
My favorites are the Doris Day/Rock Hudson movies, including Send Me No Flowers!😊
The sad thing was he was such a heartthrob.
What’s so sad?
Yeah, throbbing hearts are not gender specific. I just wish he had found a true partnership/spouse to support him. Closets are not healthy.
@@greysonanthonypowell1151 Better expression would be " what a waste"
There many gays, male and female whom are heart throbs.
@@1963AustriaNot like him.
All the fear and constant dread of being found out...
I have to be glad I wasn't him.....I never imagined the incredible pressure he must've been on the verge of suicide for decades..
"What good does it do to have the whole world;yet lose your own soul"! The looks, the fame and, the money...
May God be merciful to the poor man's soul.....
I just realized that he died 3 days before my 29th birthday.
There is no real reason to realise that.
There are plenty more Stars of TV & Film, Sport etc that have yet to come out. Some are married with children and may never come out. But, hopefully one day people won’t ever feel the need to be closeted.
Whilst we have moved exponentially in terms of LGBTQ+ rights since Rock Hudson’s death, there is still a long way to go.
Can’t believe that Rock didn’t try to hit on Dean..
Wow
Cool
Statura ,fisico ,bellezza aveva tutto era magnifico
🎞️🎥🎬📽️
He was told by his agent to keep it quiet.
Yes yes!! No vneck!! Look how much more entertaining and informative that is!!! Show what we're talking about not rubbing and posing.
I'll never forget the tasteless and cruel jokes that were going around when it became known that Rock was gay... Hey, have you heard about the new Rock Hudson designer jeans? They've got knee pads and the zipper is in the back! ...So disrespectful they were.
The way I look at it, if you dont want to be made fun of, dont be gay.
Never heard that
@@wendynichols6946 It was so long ago you probably weren't born yet. I really don't know why it even stuck in a far corner of my head, only to be brought back to the surface at the sight of this video. And these days jokes of that nature are considered so offensive as to be forbidden, and rightly so I guess.
@@ralphcantrell3214Well a joke is a joke, but yes I agree I think that is just bad taste to say something like that
Ya, rightly so. And I was born alright. Remember it like it all was yesterday.
Do you agree with me that Rock Hudson looks a lot like Sylvester Stallone? Even the voice, performance, acting, and facial expressions really create a forty resemblance.
Rumors about his real father was being monitored by the FBI for being a German. That's why he choose his step-father name Fritzgerald to join the Navy . Another rumor, he was assigned to the i'll fated USS St.Lo a jeep carrier that was hit . many of survivors were transferred inland in Leyte to service US warspanes .
Да действительно красивым мужчиной
Happy birthday in Heaven Rock ❤️
2:00, 5:00
I enjoyed his memoir, I Never Owned Parakeet, But I Had a Cockatoo.
That probably works better as a spoken joke , sorry.
Rock had a cockatoo as well darling 🥂🥂
I’ve had a cockatoo for 30 years and he can be a pain in the @$$.
Sayonara..
Republican administration 🙄
Kinda would be interesting if he hated James Dean because he had slept with Marlon Brando? Kinda funny that basically to be an A-list actor at the time you just had to sleep with the right person, because a lot of the gay actors have a connection with the same person when they started out.
He wasnt truly gay in his heart. I think he talked himself into believing he was gay.
Interesting opinion…. I’m not quite sure how someone can talk themselves into believing they’re gay though?
I’m replying to your comment that has been quite rightly deleted by You Tube.
Whilst I respect your Christian beliefs, as I do all religions and their respective deities. My faith is rooted in scientific facts and the thought of a some deity or God planting a man and woman in a Garden as the start of humanity is frankly risible, not to mention the fact that their offspring would have to involved in incest in order to procreate.
Homosexuality is not the ‘norm’, it is the biological imperative of all living things to reproduce and pass on their DNA. However, Homosexuality is not unnatural, it occurs in many other living creatures, some living creatures can even change sex during their lives.
So maybe you would be wise to educate yourself on facts , rather than parochial nonsense from 2000 + years ago
@@bens1972 Well I will say one thing he lusted after the opposite sex, and that's a sin according to my KJV of the bible. And I believe that he was attracted to women, but I also believe it was a spirit of lust that came on him for men.
That's the dumbest shit I've ever heard in my life. Who would do something that would make life HARDER?? ESPECIALLY at that time?? Jfc use your brain.
I wish hat was true
You think you can do that kind UN NATREL S... T and not be JUDGED BY GOD
Do not judge or you will be judged….
Especially your spelling….’unnatural’….
@@bens1972 and I meant god PUT 1 MAN and 1 WOMAN IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN NOT 2 MEN or 2 WOMEN UN NATREL
@@rachaelhogan7850 if that's true then humanity was created through incest...
What about you is unnatural......if god judges someone for being as they were created, just as the far right christians, God is close minded, biased, bigoted and a hypocrite. Do you read and practice the 10 commandments...do you as a christian follow the old testament...do not preach to others while you do not follow the KJ , edited edited and edited bible...oh yes, written by sinful man.
There ain’t any god, calm down.
No talent
I really hope that that everyone going back to school does well and keep good grades. Also, you will live a happy successful life! 🤍💯💗
How kind of you!!!
Funny how back in the day, Hollywood kept the secret sex lives of their most popular and successful actors and actresses, in order to portray the lie they gave to boost, earnings, and keep fans in the dark, about what was really happening with the stars 🤩..
