- This interview was filmed in April 1984. Rock Hudson passed away on October 2, 1985. Ironically, during this interview, he told me, "I will not be sick". A charming and giving man with enormous talent. We lost him too soon.
RIP Rock Hudson (November 17, 1925 - October 2, 1985), age 59
You will be remembered as a legend
Rock would be 97 years old if he would have lived. Crazy to think. He is one of the best actors. ❤️
Great actor, very funny in his romance comedy movies
“What’s the best part of Rock Hudson?” ..... “Now, today” what a beautiful statement from a beautiful man. So sadly missed, even all these years later 🙏💖
I read on the other websites that he was a bottom and loved it in the ass.

It would be difficult not to fall in love with him he was not just handsome but he was genuinely nice and not at all "playing to the camera." Thank you for sharing.
The reason Rock Hudson got ahead in show business is because his manager Henry Wilson put it in his ass and many times and he bred Rock with all that hot sperm. Henry Wilson had a thick meat but Rock enjoyed it so much. Rock said deeper and harder Henry.
He had a wonderful soothing voice
Yes his voice was so nice and warm.
Very husky from years of smoking
He had vocal surgery early in his career to lower his voice
His voice was weak in this interview. RIP
@@eoin68not true. It got like that because of his proclivities
He truly was a gentleman in every sense of the word. Missed is a understatement! This technology gives the history of so many talents. Best regards
One of the most handsome men to live on this planet!!
@THE Don Spaghetti & Ravioli I agree with you there.. today, he would have been on the sex registry.

What a wonderfully sincere and unassuming interview - respect and R.I.P. Gentle Giant
and yet never told the truth about himself,,
@@seancampbell9740 Luke 12:3 states that 'the secret of our sins will be revealed and shouted down from the rooftops for all to know'. eg Rock Hudson, Michael Jackson,Jim Baker Richard Nixon, swartzenneggar.....the list goes on..
No...they didn't tell on themselves ..but their 'secret' was found out anyway.
God bless and Amen.
It's times like this I'm grateful for You Tube. Otherwise this stuff would disappear forever. Thank you Eileen, your channel is fantastic.

Yeah
@Anna Cottle Cottle Where?
I dont see anything at all great about this
Fast forward 3 years later and UA-cam is erasing history and censoring.
The most Handsome man ever and what makes him so special is he is not aware of it
@KickRocks Not really not aware of it,or not really the most handsome man ever? Up there amongst the best-looking guys of the era undoubtedly I'd say. He's almost 60 here-still looks great. But check him out a couple of decades earlier-pretty much the very definition of the word 'handsome' in his 30s.
@Koletti Pireaus O NO HE WASN'T.
@Koletti Pireaus There is no need to be rude Koletti. I wasn't rude to you. I was simply making a comment. Beauty is in the EYE of the beholder.
@Koletti Pireaus even when Elvis was a fat pig?
@Koletti Pireaus thank you for the clarification and referenced
He certainly was a gentle giant
What a beautiful man he was.
really? Open your eyes. He denied his diagnosis to Marc Christian and he sued his estate for millions. Yeah he was beautiful.
@@holdenmcgroin9774That really was messed up

Absolutely one of the most gorgeous men on the planet. And a genuinely nice person.
Even more gorgeous when he grew the big mustache he wore in the 70’s, which he eventually shaved off.

Last night for the first time I heard about this man. I was watching a totally different video and decided to click on the recommended video of Rock Hudson without even knowing who he was, having never heard of him prior to or what I was getting myself into. I'm glad I did. I have seen documentaries on Tab Hunter so I am sure that was one of the reason(s) why I got the recommendation from you-tube. I instantly fell in love with his story, stayed up pass midnight watching old documentaries and the Phil Donahue interview with his ex-partner. My heart immediately went out to him as he seemed to have not felt loved and abandoned by his father growing up and it lead to his shame, insecurities and heartbreak. He appeared to have been a great genuine man, loving, drop dead handsome and friendly. Isn't it strange that when his father who allegiantly had nothing to do with his upbringing and then second attempt but failed to make amends by kicking him out of the house at 22, turned to him for help in his old age? The older we become, the more weak, valuable and needy we get and turn to the same people we have "wronged" or inflicted physical and emotional pain, are the ones we look to for help or to care for us. To add more insult to injury, he loved men and because of the society and environment at that time, he could not live his authentic self. This just really breaks me up inside!We do not get to choose what kind/type of family we are born into, but GOD does and He always give extra grace, care and compensates those individuals for the hard life they will endure.
Yes, contrary to sources such as Wendy Nichols, his stepfather was an abusive alcoholic and there is no denying that no matter how much people want to paint a rosy picture.
I wish his generation/society and the ones before had been more tolerant...I am so sad he had to hide a part of who he was for his whole life 💖 I’ve only recently discovered him too. When I watched the original series of Dynasty, only about a year and a half ago, I saw him and didn’t know anything about him, so I googled. Up until then, I’d only heard the line in the song from Grease “Even Rock Hudson lost his heart to Doris Day” and that’s all I had heard of him really, so when I saw his name on those Dynasty credits, I was like “oh that’s who he is!” When I looked him up, saw his pictures and seeing how handsome he was, it blew me away. Then I read about the man he was, his life and heartbreakingly, how he died. I am so grateful for the internet, allowing us to find out so much, to get to watch all these wonderful clips, and discover his movies. I absolutely adore him💖
Uve never heard of him? How old r u?
Mc millian and wife series on youtube
35 years today without you, I love you Rock
he would want nothing from you but if you are a guy then yes.
A beautiful interview. I believe the most honest and down to earth interview Rock Hudson ever gave in his career. He rarely gave them and almost never talked about his personal life. Remarkable. A wonderful and kind man and a very fine actor.
He's not being himself though, he was told and taught to act manly.
@@jackwatson3944 Many years ago back in 1976, I was a Tour Guide at Universal Studios while Mr. Hudson was still filming MACMILLAN & WIFE (later just MACMILLAN when Susan Saint James wanted off the show and her character conveniently died) was known to be the kindest and most considerate of men. It must have been tortuous for him to have to lived the life he did, with the constant fear of being outed. He was a fine actor and should have won the Academy Award he was nominated for, for GIANT. He also gave a great performance in SECONDS, a role the studio originally wanted Laurence Olivier for.
@@jackwatson3944 ,

Your comment is dumb!
I'm 47yr old and watched the old films as a kid and loved Rock Hudson.
I still do!
He had the good looks and the voice to be a movie star.

What a handsome man he was. And he seem so genuinely nice.
Yeah but wouldn't care about you. He prefers men (YUK)
(guest).
My favourite lady film star, Doris Day, helped him when he got ill : apparently there was a lovely friendship between them, with none of the narrow minded prejudice that was so common in those days...thankfully people are more tolerant now, but " coming out" could ruin a career , especially for a handsome leading man....the public like their fantasies....fair enough ! That's the deal ! 🌷🤔🌷☺🌷
@@mirrorimage3577 Hm, you just stuck your foot in your mouth with that childish, graceless comment. There's a time and a place and this wasn't it. Some men prefer men...why does that bother you?
@@garymorgan3314 Why does my opinion bother YOU ?
@@mirrorimage3577 It is axiomatic that you can't answer a question with a question (besides, I was asking in a relaxed, spirit-of-enquiry fashion).

TheMarinemom02 and full of aids
@@riacrdogarcia2931 your point?!
You have a sick obsession with people physical appearance that's why y'all dying of AIDS and cancer. The cancer of your mind attack your fucking body soul and spirit and kill you. The world don't need shallow deplorables as that's the same mentality you use to dismiss and prejudice others when you're in positions of power.
TheMarinemom02 - Hudson wasn’t THAT nice. When asked by his partner of 3 years, Marc Christian, whether his weight loss was due to the AIDS virus, Hudson repeatedly denied it. He refused to acknowledge his diagnosis until 3 months before his death. Such a despicable, cowardly act. Christian deserved every dime that the jury awarded him from his multi-million dollar lawsuit against Hudson’s estate.
That’s why he never told his partner he has aids .., so he sued his estate after he died for 5 million ...
RIP ROCK HUDSON 💔. He was a great actor, the end.
He looked good here. He sounds a bit weak, but he looks good.
Rock Hudson was a classic
Thanks for your reply, Eileen. There were many handsome movie stars in the golden era, but he seemed to be more handsome than was humanly possible. I always thought that it must be a trick of the camera. He seems like a genuinely nice fellow, too.Chuck
I saw Rock Hudson when he was touring, in Camelot, in 1977. Here, he has lost weight. He was, always, my favorite.
He seemed so calm and secure here. No trace or hint of the illness he was fighting at the time and man what a year can do to a person with Aids. In this interview here conducted in 1984 he looks pretty good and healthy and just a year later in 1985 he looked like a gaunt, skeletal version of his former self. Poor guy, may he RIP.
He wasn't diagnosed yet
@@flenif2247 he was diagnosed in 1984.
@@itslikethesamebutdifferent8020 what month?
@@flenif2247 they say June 1984 he was diagnosed. From what I know about aids is that those who had it didn’t go and check themselves out for no reason. Mostly they already had the signs and were feeling the effects of the illness by the time they got the results and I’m sure rock was no exception.
He probably was dying anyway regardless if he knew he had AIDS or not.
He was so brave. All that he must’ve been keeping inside. How he remained so composed is beyond me.
He didn't know at this tine.
What a waste
@@rickovery It was a year before he died, he did. You could see him sweating and tired sounding. He had been medical treatment for awhile.
Keeping it inside is brave? If anything would make him a coward for fearing what people would have thought of him. He only told people right before he died.
@micodin1912 Not feeling the need to scream out & tell everyone your woes for sympathy is composed, dignified and brave in my books. Carried on & put a brave face on it. Same with anyone with a terminal disease.
I once worked with someone whose son died in a road accident.. just me and him in a house, for a few weeks. Didn't even know until he left and a colleague told me.
You are a superb interviewer. You asked the best questions. Thanks for uploading these historic interviews.

Watching Rock Hudson and Doris Day on Pillow Talk, Lover Come Back and Send Me No Flowets was a HUGE part of my childhood. Precious memories ❤❤
Wow, how fast he deteriorated after this. Must've already been pretty sick by this point since AIDS takes about 2 years to kill once HIV has progressed to full-blown AIDS. Scary time.
Thankyou for posting this Sensitive video !
He seemed a genuinely nice man, despite his success and looks, no airs about him at all, he was loved by everyone.
Eileen Prose, you are so generous to allow us to see these interviews. You are the greatest interviewer of all time...better than anyone ever and I truly mean it. Thank you for having this channel !
she is horrible. she is awstruck. she should have just gotten his autograph and left.
Loved Rock Hudson and his films especially with Doris Day where funny thought he was a gorgeous handsome man.
Yes he was...oh my word! I loved all his movies!
Yesss i still today watch their movies, his. Doris day elizibeth taylor all on TMC CHANNEL ON 41 HERE IN THE BRONX NEW YORK OH AND MY FAVORITE CLARK GABLE
He became my favorite actor watching him in McMillan & Wife when I was a teenager, then I saw his 3 movies with Doris Day and later Giant, Come September, etc, movies I simply love. It still saddens me the way he died, now I'm 63 and find tough to think he was only 59 that October 2, 1985, a date I never forget.
I can see rock being very handsome in his early years from this color interview.
The older he got the better looking - until that virus hit him
He always came across as someone decent and respectful and deep thinking. Lovely interview Indeed!!
I never met him but he seemed very kind and had a big heart. Handsome too.
He was so gracious. His manager was with him and they were both wonderful. Thanks for watching!

Sad, especially if you are inclined to 'help' people...
While driving on a rural end of the roadway on Thursday morning, I saw an infant car seat on the side of the road with a blanket draped over it. For whatever reason, I did not stop, even though I had all kinds of thoughts running through my head. But when I got to my destination, I called the Police and they were going to check it out. But, this is what the Police advised even before they went out there to check....
"There are several things to be aware of ... gangs and thieves are now plotting different ways to get a person (mostly women) to stop their vehicle and get out of the car.
"There is a gang initiation reported by the local Police where gangs are placing a car seat by the road...with a fake baby in it...waiting for a woman, of course, to stop and check on the abandoned baby.
"Note that the location of this car seat is usually beside a wooded or grassy (field) area and the person -- woman -- will be dragged into the woods, beaten and raped, and usually left for dead. If it's a man, they're usually beaten and robbed and maybe left for dead, too.
DO NOT STOP FOR ANY REASON!!!

Detailed Analysis
This widely circulated message, which purports to be a police warning, advises UK drivers to watch out for a gang initiation technique in which infant car seats that appear to contain a baby are left on the sides of rural roads as a means of fooling drivers into stopping to investigate. According to the message, if people stop to check if the baby is alright, they will be set upon by violent gang members and dragged into nearby woods where they will be beaten and raped or robbed before being left for dead. Many versions of the message contain what appears to be an official endorsement of the warning from the Sussex Police.
However, the claims in the message are spurious. The message is not an official police warning. There are no credible news or police reports that suggest that attacks like the ones described are currently taking place in the UK.
Moreover, The Sussex Police have denied any involvement with the "warning". In response to my enquiry about the baby car seat warning and the egg-throwing warning that accompanies it, a Sussex Police spokesperson noted:
Dear Mr Christensen,
Thank you for contacting us about 2 urban legend emails currently circulating in the UK which seem to be from the Crime Management Unit at Bexhill Police Station. I have spoken to the CMU manager and can confirm that these statements have not been issued by Sussex Police.
Regards,
Police Contact Centre
Communications Department
Police Headquarters
In fact, the message is simply a revamped variant of a similar urban legend that has been widely circulated in the United States, Canada and New Zealand. The following US based version of the message, supposedly endorsed by the Tennessee Department Of Correction, is also currently circulating:
Subject: FW: Driver beware
National Gang Week is starting: This is their new target method while driving on any roads, If you see a baby car seat sitting on the side of the road DO NOT STOP!!!! These are gangs targeting people, especially women, to stop their vehicle to help a baby. They make this baby look as if it has blood on itself or on its clothes, when you get out of your vehicle in attempt to help, the gangs jump out from cornfields or tall bushes. They have beaten women to near death, and then continue to rape them with baseball bats and other torture methods. This is not just a forward of information, it is within our area. If you do happen to see a car seat DO NOT STOP CALL THE POLICE IMMEDIATELY!! Please send this onto everyone you know.
Benjamin F. Bean
State Of Tennessee
Department Of Correction
However, in late 2009, the Tennessee Department Of Correction issued the following email advisory dismissing the claims in the warning message:
NASHVILLE - An email transmission that is being circulated with claims of recent gang activity cannot be supported by current Department of Correction intelligence. The email appears to have been forwarded by a department employee but is not an official TDOC statement. The email states that gang members are using a new method to target women that involves sitting a baby car seat on the side of a road and attacking women as they approach.
While the TDOC recognizes the gang element that extends to members housed in state correctional facilities, we cannot substantiate any claims made in the recent email transmission. Therefore, the public is advised to use caution when forwarding emails that do not appear to be official documents.
Police in Walla Walla County, Washington have also denied that such gang related crimes are taking place. An August 17 2010 KNDO news article notes:
Gang members are plotting ways to stop your vehicle and rob or assault you. It's what some people want you to think... But police say it's not true.
Emails are circulating around the country telling people about extreme gang activity. We first heard about them through the Walla Walla County Sheriff's Office and now some have been sent to our newsroom.
They are usually titled 'County Sheriff's Safety Alert' and what the most recent emails say is to be careful about new gang initiation tactics.
The email goes on to read... 'gangs are placing a car seat by the road with a fake baby in it. Then they wait for a woman to stop and check on it. That's when the woman will be dragged away and beaten.'
Police tell us, this email is not true and it's just the latest in a set of hoax emails surrounding gang activity.
The claims in these hoax messages have similarly been dismissed as untrue by various other law enforcement authorities in the US, including police in Edmond, Oklahoma and Harrisonburg, Virginia. And police in New Zealand have also advised drivers to ignore the hoax emails.
This version of the message tacks on a second warning that claims that gang members are throwing eggs at the windscreens of drivers as a means of forcing them to pull over after which they are attacked by violent gang members. However, this warning is also spurious and unsubstantiated. The egg windscreen attack warning has circulated as a separate and unrelated message since late 2009 and has spawned version set in several countries. As with the infant car seat portion of the warning, I have found no credible news or police reports that support such robbery-motivated egg attacks.
Thus, forwarding this bogus warning will help no one. Sending on such misinformation serves only to spread unnecessary fear and alarm in communities and waste the time and resources of police staff who must answer endless queries from members of the public about the supposed crimes. If you receive this message, please do not forward it to others. And please take a moment to inform the sender that the message is a hoax.
Rock Hudson was always very handsome. The thing that makes him even more handsome is his honest expression about his life. I love what he said about Liz Taylor. I knew that were great friends. He mirrors the thoughts of mid life people. I loved what he said about today being the best time of life and not to worry about past mistakes and triumphs. A LOVELY MAN.

He looks terrible, gaunt and sick
His illness wasn't showing yet. Fast forward 1 year (April 85) and he looks very ill.

I got to see Rock Hudson when he was doing Camelot. he played a marvelous King Arthur and even sang. I don't care if he was gay.
God Bless you Rock for all the years that you graced our screens. You are and were Hollywood's Mr. Nice Guy. Rest in Peace.
I am years behind but I have to say it anyway:
THANK YOU Eileen for a terrific interview.
Does Hollywood need you style and decency now more than ever!!!
I never knew until 2 weeks before he died that he was Gay . I always liked his acting and he was the most handsome man I have ever seen.
Hi Eileen, thank you for posting this interview Mr Hudson was a great actor but above all was a great human being.
Derek, thank you for watching. I hope you will check out my Channel. Best to you!
You can see how much sadness is there behind that bright face and eyes, he honestly would had been a much more happier person if he lived as openly gay even in later part of his life
Agreed. It must have been such an unhappy man. He couldn't live outside the closet. Bless his heart.
Glad seen this, found you from a clip of Hudson playing Daniel reece in the series dynasty, now there's a blast from the blast.
When she brought up his health, you can tell by his body language he was harboring the truth. He picked at his ear and squirmed in his chair. At the same time he asks, what are you talking about? The heart thing?
I noticed that . I actually got nervous for him. My heart aches for what he was going through. He must have been so scared.
I noticed that change in his body language too.
Thank you very much for sharing this video.
Don't know why I clicked on this but pleased I did. Brought tears at the end when he gave his warm, endearing and famous smile. No matter what age or illness was doing to him physically, still there was that smile, unmistakable.
Rock was a complex man with many sides to him. I don't think one ever knows an actor completely. I grew up in the entertainment industry.
I first met Rock in a supermarket in West Hollywood not long after I moved there from New York 1966. He was with Kurt Kasner an actor whom I met in NY when he was playing on Broadway in Sound of Music with Mary Martin. I knew him through my mother who was an agent later manager. Kurt was charming and friendly as was Rock. The one thing that struck me meeting Rock was how tall he was. I'm 183cm about 6'. We were in the fruit and vegie section and I was speaking with Kurt and Rock simply turned toward us put out his hand and said hi I'm Rock. I hadn't been so struck by sincerity since meeting Cary Grant 1961 at Universal. Now there was also a prince of a man.
At this point of my life now I only suffer thinking how he and so many other men, talented and kind had to live in secrecy and anxiety for their careers. It was and is wrong.
That whole Hollywood machine is pitiful and the idea that audiences in the usa so project their own fantasies onto strangers that their careers are in jeopardy is tragic.
I never had a problem fantasizing about people that were beyond my possibilities. It is infantile and immature to suddenly stop appreciating someone's talent as an actor, singer, athlete because they get married or are homosexual. Or so the myth goes. That is the threat held over the heads of performers etc. And of course there was the threat of those hypocritical nasty religious groups who tried then as now to tell everyone else how to live despite their own skeletons and dirty laundry.
Most people forget that many actors of the Golden Age had it in contracts that they couldn't marry for the same reason, losing the fans. The studio had to give permission or you'd be suspended or fired.
Fans should never have such power over a human being's life. The public should have been confronted with this fact and shamed if necessary as to how ludicrous this was and is.
I knew many, many actors and their secrets which I keep until until death.
People's private lives are no one's business. I do not need to know who someone sleeps with to enjoy their talent.
AMEN....

What a nice interview! This was a more pleasant era on TV.
He had what all superstars have, a strong personality, strong convictions, and very self assured. They may have self doubt like everyone has, but their demeanor and personality is greater by far. I'm thankful for the "relentless hard work" he put into McMillan and Wife (I have the complete dvd series), for the legacy of awesome entertainment that he and the others created, in that series and his tv movies, miniseries, and films. His characters were strong, and also honest and vulnerable, and moving. One of my favs of his films is Seconds 1966.
HIS MOVIES AND TV SHOWS BROUGHT ME A LOT OF JOY AND LAUGHTER. HE WAS A VERY CHARMING DEBONAIR ACTOR. ❤🌹.
You think being an undercover homosexual is debonair. You got to be kidding me.
The disease hadn't damaged his charm. Rock was a very attractive man
Eileen - a fan from childhood (and friend of your son) watching this in its entirety - you are a terrific interviewer... there really is an 'art' to it... great questions. you *listen* .. you follow up... i know you did so many over the years... I hope Bob Bennett or some of the other folks stopped to tell you along the way !
Russ Luke Such a lovely comment! Thank you for taking your time to watch. Rock Hudson was such a warm and gracious man. You mentioned Bob Bennett.... he was my hero! A boss who encouraged creativity without the fear of failure.... it was an amazing time to be in television... Thank you Russ .... many blessings to you.
Thank you Ms.Prose I remember Rock and when AIDs was taboo.
His eyes are so sad.
That's because he knew he was very sick ,but didn't know he was dying until 2 months after this interview,it was said that he cried for a week when he found out

What a beautiful man. I love his films. Beautiful interview.
He wasn't beautiful here, he was suffering, he knew something was very wrong as he was losing weight all the time
Rock is sill very handsome here...a sharp contrast to his sad last public images. Rock will always be a Hollywood legend and adored. I loved when Rock smiled or laughed, he always had that infectious twinkle in his eyes :)
Thanks for sharing! Greetings from Brazil!

"I will not be sick..." oh the irony. R.I.P. Rock - I remember the day you died like it was yesterday. Legend.
He's sadly starting to look gaunt in this.
Rock Hudson looks so different in this interview compared to McMillan & Wife with Susan Saint James back in the 70's.
Really nice interview.
Chest pains for two years, ignored them ,and almost died, he was a heavy smoker and drinker
Loved the old school actors, Clint Eastwood, Morgan Freeman, Larry Hagan, Gregory peck, too many to name ,rock Hudson was a legend, never the same, todays actors have nothing on these legends
I grew up on Rock Hudson and Doris Day movies...together again at last... #ripROCK #ripDORIS ♥♥
Nikki Walker Your parents taught you quite well!✨✌🏼
Handsome..
Daisy Duke you bet
❤️RH.. RIP🙏🏽
2 months after this interview, Rock found out he has AIDS. Really sad.He did not see it coming 😢.
Loved all his movies
Sad that this handsome man did not have alot of children & passed his beauty & kindness to other generations.
Beautyful man ...Charming. ...We miss him so much....
I only wish Rock blessed us with another generation of him.

And I would have gladly carried his child
I agree 100%
@@wendynichols6946 you realize he would never be putting it into the likes of you??
@@Nelson__K Yes. We know Rock was Gay.
May he RIP.
My mother grew up in LA and was at a resturaunt with her mother and they saw him in the restaurant, my grandmother told my mom what handsome man he was, she didnt know who he was
Oh what a gorgeous man loved all that he did handsome devil rock 💕
May you rest in peace and God bless you.
one of the most beautiful, most impressive, most spectacular personalities who have ever lived. Rock Hudson was and is a legend.❤️💚❤️
He was a looser .
This personality isn't real, it's an act.
thx a bunch!!!
Loved him such a handsome man.
This interviewer , so intense, peering into his face
He was soft-spoken, polite and courteous. We should not be so quick to judge others about the choices they make.....especially when it hurts them in the long run and not ourselves.
No it’s the big man above they will have to answer to for that in natural behaviour lifestyle
hard to believe a year later he's gone r.i.p.
I love your interviews! And wow a year before his death!!!? He had major downhill change in that year. Remember how sick he looked with Doris Day?

I loved this man. He always seemed sincere and honest. His sexual preference simply did not matter.
@Torres9 Nothing Why? Its not like he was ever going to fuck you so why should it matter where he put his dick?
