Mr. & Mrs. Rock Hudson - A Marriage Made in Hollywood
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 сер 2012
- Compilation of clips featuring the married Rock Hudson and his former wife Phyllis Gates. So many doubted it was a true marriage and only arranged to protect the movie star but it definitely looks a lot like the real deal. Hopefully it was true love for both parties that sadly in the end, did not last for whatever reasons.

Best acting he ever did.
I firmly believe this was a PR marriage for him. For her I think she fell for him & back in the day people actually thought they could change people, for Rock that was never gonna happen.
She was a lesbian and preferred women moron
She was a lesbian sorry, she liked women - their marriage was a sham
@@wendynichols6946 oh, I didn't know that. I never heard much about her at all.
She should have got an academy award.
Like it or not, he was just acting in another role.
Yep he was
How could she stand this lie for so long?
@@gulmerton2758 Did you see the interview with Phyllis and Larry King when she was in her 60's? She is believable and was innocent for the times they were in the 1950's. It might still be on You Tube. Worth a watch.
@@gulmerton2758 she was probably paid well.
@@gulmerton2758 The marriage may have been for publicity but they could have actually cared about eachother that may have been how it was able to last as long as it did inspite of the fact it was more than likely never consummated - there are many types of love.
I dont care what he was...gay or not....he was the most handsome man in world.....i was sad when he died.....he left beautiful movies.....
Tienes razón.
All of them tributes to both the man and his acting skill. RIP Rock Hudson (Roy Fitzgerald).
Tall dark and drop dead gorgeous !Loved all his movies too.
I enjoyed his TV show, “McMillan and Wife” with Susan St. James. Good times.
I'm a Nurse and took care of her for just a week or two. I feel so sorry for her. Of course she knew from the start that it was just an arranged but she fell so hard for him, who wouldn't be. She never dated anybody since the day he dumped her and moved to Beverly Hills. I remember she had one picture of them in her living room table facing were she sat all day watching tv. So sad.
She was a lesbian she loved women
Damn
The pit party is the sad thing.
I knew them both. I met him on the movie Giant set as I was a stand in for Liz Taylor. He was looking then for someone to compliment him in his lifestyle. She had her own address.
What lies. No need to feel sorry for her she had an excellent life while married to RH she knew exactly what she was doing as she liked women
The fact that he collected more rings than Sonic the Hedgehog, meant that this was a marriage of convenience and not a real one, as he was totally gay!
Rock was a gorgeous man and any lady would be happy to be with him-will be missed-made great movies!!
As long as they don't mind different bedrooms in different houses and only occasionally meeting up for photos.
Did anyone notice how cute and loving that dog was?!
Yes! It certainly was.
I hate small dogs, they are not guard dogs.
Loved that sweet dog! Glad you noticed!
She was the first famous “beard”
I can't believe that someone is still perpetuating this charade. Shame on you. RIP Rock.
Love Buckingham's guitar on this piece.
Thank you for your view and comment and yes I agree, it is incredibly lovely! Have a wonderful day! :)
The twin beds on the honeymoon says it all.😆
Back in the mid 80’s soon after he died a very in-depth biography was done on Rock Hudson with actual interviews backed by supporting reports and documentation. The documentary exposed a bit of a dark side to Rock Hudson. I’ve been searching for that same documentary for years but with no luck.
It doesn't exist
@@wendynichols6946 You’re right. It doesn’t exist, at least not anymore, but there was strong innuendos of DV. One particular confrontation between he and his wife occurred at the beach in front of friends.
What a beautiful and classy tribute to Rock Hudson.
So this little montage is supposed to make me believe that Rock Hudson wasn't gay and his marriage wasn't a sham? Or are the creators of it just fucking with my mind?
Academy Award performance!
Uh...how real did she think it was with those photographers all over the house taking pictures of these so-called "romantic moments"? They are in your house, on your honeymoon, at events....everywhere. She knew the pictures were staged. So why wouldn't she believe the marriage was, too? It probably could have worked if they had been straight (pun intended) with her about what was really going on. Do you know how many women would have happily married him - gay or not - just so they could be Mrs. Rock Hudson? There are plenty right now married to big stars and KNOW those dudes prefer dudes. She may have been down with keeping up the charade, too. I am sure movie star's wife paid hella better than secretary!
I would be one
Give me a break even his disease former lover Mark Christian said that he did like women so it wasn't as PR related as you all think there were even an
There was even an actress larger Brigida I believe her name was that said that they were in love with each other so it really honestly yeah I think that he preferred men but I do believe in my heart that he was also attracted to women too
@@sowhatyouracelebrity3680 No the actress was, Marilyn Maxwell he loved her
From an era when being gay was more difficult than today.
One thing I can say about Marc Christian, is he was Movie Star handsome, but then he would have to be, to attract Rock Hudson, I would imagine. Another thing I noticed is that Rock Hudson apparently didn't go for love interests, who were obviously gay.
I understand that Rock was such a nice Person to be around, and going by some home movies on UA-cam from the 1950's, he looked like the kind of person who didn't put on, and wasn't full of himself.
OMG FLEETWOOD MAC AND ROCK HUDSON 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼😭😭😭😍😍😍🤭🤭🤭
I do feel sad for her.
In her day, she was an absolute knockout! She actually looks a lot like Doris Day, but with dark hair.
Agreed a stunner
Are you blind!!!!!! see your eye doctor!!! Doris Day was beautiful nothing like Phyliss Gates (Plus Doris Day was a great first class lady)
You definitely NEED TO SEE AN EYE DOCTOR (Doris Day was the knockout - Doris would turn in her grave if she read what you said.
Are you blind?????????????????????????????????????she was not that pretty Doris Day was a knockout
@@wendynichols6946 Male eyes see things you don't.
Are you serious? You'd have to been living under a rock for at least the past 50yrs to not know 'whatever reason' the marriage didn't last.
Great acting. A lot of misery too as people had to play pretend in private life to avoid scandals. At least people can not be open about their feelings in half the world
2:20 minute, the picture with Natalie Wood, the man in the middle, Rock Hudson's manager of many years, and the creator of the person we all know as Rock Hudson, also, the mastermind in his career, the one who made Rock Hudson marry Phyllis, and paid thousands of dollars to several who threatened to expose Rock Hudson's very promiscuous homosexuality, Henry Willson.
No one deserves to die as Rock did. Phyllis is still living.
She passed at 80 years old. Just an update for those who want to know. Her last interview was with Larry King and she was 79. It is on UA-cam. She died of lung cancer which in her interview she had said that she had surgery for & was in remission. There was a half page obit about her when she passed. Some people, especially the gay community said she knew he was gay, & they said she was also gay. In her interview she said very hurtful things were said about her. She earlier had allegedly said he had hit her & would disappear when working, or just leave the house, & that men were calling on the phone, but he would say they were fans. She did not bring up the hitting in her interview but did the leaving her alone. She never remarried. She referred to him as bisexual & it was rumored that he & Liz Taylor slept together on Giant, & that Michael Wilding, found out about it who was her then husband. I know that even back then many fans were aware of him being gay.
I watched that interview on YT last year. She came across as a very genuine and compassionate woman. I thought Rock was quite cruel towards her at the end of their relationship. He lied to her a lot even when the evidence was there for her to see what was really going on (the affairs with males, etc). Then, although there was no drama or animosity between them, he just suddenly and cruelly cut her out of his life and never contacted her again. So not only did he use her for a sham marriage, he didn't even possess the decency to bring closure to the relationship in a civil and fair manner. He seemed to have this profound selfish streak as he then went on to treat his lover, Mark Christian, in an ever more serious abusive manner when, after he had been diagnosed with AIDS, he chose to continue sleeping with Cristian and endangering his life instead of acting responsibly and humanely. I liked Rock Hudson, but I believe his personal demons ran much deeper than has ever been acknowledged.
@@helenaville5939 HOw many personal demons would you have if you had to live a lie?
Not anymore.
@@paulomilan515 that's not an excuse. Deal with your shit don't bring other people into it with you
Sorry to burst the Hudson marriage - bubble, but Rock Hudson married Phyllis suddenly, because he was about to be outed and his agent INSISTED ON IT! ROCK hated the whole thing, and he used to beat her, oft times. She had been his secretary. She was clueless about his other life, until close to the end.. She didn't want to be hit any longer, and filed for divorce. They slept together infrequently, since he could always use work as an excuse.. She throughly enjoyed the perks and status of being Mrs. Rock Hudson, so in the end, you could call it a marriage of convenience, for BOTH.
she was the beard

+rowan morrison ...Right! In the mid 1970's all knew Rock was gay! Everyone in town! Elton, R Chamberlain, Paul Lynde, Freddy Mercury (Queen), 1/2 the Big movie Producers, of course Liberace (Lee), were out and many many more big names!!
If you're right, that's terrible.

As I have read in some biographies, Phyllis Gates knew the score. I mean, she was his secretary for goodness sakes. Secretaries know everything. Also, there has been mention that Gates also had same sexed preferences. She was his beard, plain and simple.

@Proper Wow! What an eye opener. There is so much misinformation out there about the golden age stars. Nice to be able to get it from the horse's mouth.
@Proper It was a marriage of convenience and besides she was a LESBIAN
You got that right
She was his publicist's secretary.
Such a facade
It seems that the webpage :therockhudsonproject(dot)com cannot be seen anymore !!!! do you know how can i gain access to the content of this page????
And some people say he couldn’t act!
Did Phyllis think 🤔 she could convert rocky road???a toot is a toot end of 😂😂🍾🥂💕
rock Hudson e bellissimo
Another Hollywood 'Lavender' marriage......and there were plenty of those around before today's enlightened attitudes.
Regarding the picture of Rock with Lauren Bacall, I believe the other woman in the picture was Susan Hayward.
+Alice Sercy It was his wife, Phyllis. She looked alittle like Susan, certain angles.
Why Fleetwood Mac...with this clip?
What happened to the hour long interview she did explaining how she was used to cover him being gay. She never knew and loved him dearly. He left her for a man and never spoke to her again.
oh my what lucky lady she was !!!
You hit the nail on the head she sure was lucky
What is lucky about being married to a gay man as it was said?
You mean not so lucky!

I didn't know this.
I never knew this ....so what happened ! ?
In an interview RH Wife said she was madly in love with him but after their divorce she fully realized she had been use to apeace rumors of his homosexuality, of which he confronted him during their marriage.
What LIES - she was a lesbeian and knew what the score was all she wanted was his money
What bullshit
What bull shit she knew exactly what she was getting into - she wanted women but it was great living as Mrs RH with all the money
She was the biggest lair - she was a lesbian and knew he was gay - but then being married to RH was a great life
I can't tell if this comment and the video are for real...or what. Are people truly this hopelessly naive?

This man went through his whole time faking he was straight but he wouldn't been sucssesfull if he had disclose he was gay. I think he was by sensual ir else he would of not married those women.

I simply love it when I'm being hammered with irony.
This video is beyond hammer, it's anvil. Still, it isn't subtle enough, and some commenters don't know it is irony/sarcasm, which, from my experience, almost never works on youtube.
It never ceases to amaze me that people still struggle with blatant irony. In this day and age!

Great montage wrong music
Um homem extremamente promíscuo
I lived for a short time across the street on Nimes Place in Bel Air, LA across the street from Jim Nabors and always suspected he and Rock H were lovers! Sure together a lot! Back in 1975. Jim N had a dinner party once w/ Carol Burnett & hubby, Richard Chamberlain (also gay), Rock Hudson and I'm as straight as an arrow! Never had a prob w/ gays as long as they weren't all "Nelly n grabby!!"
How straight of you!!
What a handsome man 👨
I chose to believe that he was bi-sexual. You can see that he truly loved his wife!
Dont forget, he was an actor.
66littlebutterflies no. he try to, and it didn't worked.
+66littlebutterflies Naaa! He was 110% gay!
You need to see your eye doctor.
I think you should have you eyes checked''''''''''''''
All well acted by Rock Hudson wonder if she knew it a
Why do people think Rock Hudson was gay? He seems nice, he was good looking, and doesn't seem horny at all.
+CominImcomin Why can't you think of a homosexual man as being nice, good looking and in a fine relationship without seeming horny at all????
That doesn't even make sense.
+CominImcomin What does have being gay to do with good looks or being horny?! NOTHING! lol! You obviously have no clue what being homosexual actually means. It's just the same like being hetero but you simply fall in love with people of the same sex. That's it. Nothing more or less! Duh.
+deguojulia Sounds more like you don't have a clue what homosexual activity means.
They say he was gay because...HE WAS! He admitted...where have you been?
This is so sad. I think Rock tried his best to be a heterosexual and even liked Phyllis in the beginning. But it all fell apart after some years because, well, he was what he was. But some say she was lesbian too. Is that true?
I've never seen it mentioned anywhere that she was a lesbian. She claims to have always loved Rock and could never love another man after him. Are you just running with the fact that she never married again and twisting it into aleged lesbianism? That's "last century" thinking.

Any children from this marriage?
In a later interview with Larry King , she said she did not know he was gay . I don't know how that is possible . He must have been a helluva good actor .
Anyway , it was nothing but a con job he and his agent and publicity manager perpetrated on that lady .She was used but on the other hand she should have gotten a clue and divorced him early on
She was a liar toooooooooooooooo. She knew he was Gay she knew that Henry Wilson, his agent, wanted him to get married so she was hired.
She was never used. She was a lesbian and knew what she was doing as she preferred women so it worked out good for both of them Also, what a good life she had being Mrs. RH
They say he was actually bisexual. They could of had some actual moments together. But over time he was looking for another dude..
He was bisexual. She was a full blown lesbian - she only wanted women and Rock's money
Wendy Nichols it was the original Will-Jada relationship..A lot of beard 🧔🏻 stuff going on....😂🤣 Might as well change their last names to ‘The Beards’...lol
Everyone of these pics he longed men's company while keeping up appearances for the sake of his career pics from 1950s playing a song from 1970s?? yeap its a match in hell..vean??
Did she know he was gay. Studio trying to keep his gender quiet. Couldn’t be gay or black in them days. Hollywood that’s a good show on Netflix.
of course she did marriage of convenience for both of them
I am for sure she was lesbian , she was his boss secretary ! she was part of the team , If Rock want a girl to be his beard , he could simply pick his female fan , there were ton of there waiting , some was very rich of cause !
He act tht out they all knew he was gay
Maybe they should've shown his real bride, Jim Nabors instead.
Ha ha good one!!!!
That was a lie and destroyed their friendship - it was gay guys in Huntington Beach made that joke
There are many open minded women that have no problem with it. They know how good a mans parts can feel and understand if he likes it too. She could have known all about it and not minded a bit.. He could love both the lifestyle with the men and his wife.. many married men do it on the downlo... but many do it in full transparency and their wives are well knowing.. or involved at the same time.. or they know they cannot satisfy that need and have no problem with others doing what she cannot do. Many put in public display a traditional marriage that was way different than the private reality. I can see it either way. Is she in videos of his private parties? She might have been there and knew full well of everyone there having what ever relationships they were having and she might have no problem with it because he shared the truth about him self and she was accepting of it. I know married couples who have an open end for reasons just like this. It happens now, it happened back then even more so as the public culture was not as accepting of gay lifestyle and many kept their gay life private for safety and not being accepted reasons. Twenty years later in the 70's people were still being tied to trees and torchured to death and dragged behind vehicles to death and things like that due to sexuality based hate and hate crimes on gay men. Now, over thirty years later, gay lifestyle is way more acceptable; and some stay closeted; but many are open about LGBT lifestyle. Look at the casual hookup ads on craigslist and backpage and see it is alive and well..ads specify what they are looking for and everyone is involved (wife and hubby and extra persons)
The one he cared was Doris Day not her. That was arranged. He’s acting. He might have been a gay man but he wasn’t acting with Doris even right up until the end, you’ve got to be blind not to see the affection between them. And personally I think he ex wife was a little cruel they way she described him on Larry King.
Ridiculous charade.
This is what happens when you live in a society that worships heterosexuality. People get involved in sham marriages and it is usually the wife that suffers for living this lie. I have heard this story many times from pastors' wives who find out that their pastor/husband is gay and that she was only being used for a front.
TRAGIC FARCE-done for the "very best" of motives...("of course")
I BELIEVE PHYLLIS GOT A BIG PAY OFF TO DO THIS! JUST LIME3 GEORGE NADER DID FOR TAKING THE FALL FOR ROCK WITH THAT CONFIDENTIAL MAGAZINE STORY.
ο ροκ που ήταν για μένα ο κούκλος μου
Did he feel he was a sell-out and phony. Surely, his narcissistic false self was dominant. This video made me sad. The 40’s, 50’s, and 60’s were a sad time for gays
All fake he was in love with men
Here's my take on Rock and his only wife
(I've watched the interview Larry King did with her a couple of times; I'm also gay):
On the Kinsey scale of human sexuality, I believe that Rock's primary sexual orientation moved up and down the scale over the entire course of his life. I believe that he was bisexual when he met and married his wife. She stated in the interview that they had a good sex life, and she came across as truthful. If I may be bluntly honest, a man has to be sexually aroused by the woman to engage in sexual intercourse, something I could never do because I've always been firmly and totally homosexual on the Kinsey scale.
But, during the marriage he wasn't sexually satisfied, and was also having sex with men, in secret. After two or three years, he grew bored and restless with the marriage. After the divorce, he settled into a completely homosexual orientation, he moved on the scale into completely homosexual.
Again, to me, she came across as believable in the interview with Larry King. I don't believe that she suspected that he might be gay until her psychotherapist pointed it out to her.
As for rumors that she was a lesbian, I think she moved around the Kinsey scale too.
What a load of crap. She knew he was gay when they married and by the way she was a very happy lesbian. His agent, Henry Wilson, arranged HIS marriage. As him being gay was coming out and the only way to stop that truth coming out was for him to get married
Phyllis Gates was a know lesbian but she enjoyed some meat in her life occasionally. She lied like crazy on the Larry King show to promote her book. She got alinomy on the sly with the threats of exposing him way back just after the divorce. He paid her for a few years and Rocks secretary said one of the happiest days was when he no longer had to cut another check to Phyllis. Money the root evil. Even though she did appear to be believable on the Larry King show, she's obviously a great actress.
Coincido contigo el fue bisexual siempre. En realidad nadie lo conocía bien ni sus amigos. George Nader dijo el siempre está actuando. Fue bisexual.
@@wendynichols6946 la opinión que tu tienes es un fiel reflejo de la influencia de los medios de comunicación. El fue un bisexual. El nunca escribió una biografía la misma Sara Davidson lo conoció un mes antes. Y el estaba ya muy mal de salud. Tenía lagunas mentales. Lee. La biografía.y después opina. George Nader quiso lucrarse con ésta biografía para que se convirtiera en bet seller. Porque el era su heredero. En realidad el fue bisexual y el peor error fue ser amigo de gays.Que eran los que le arreglaban citas con otros hombres. Al final de su vida se dio cuenta de ello. Pero no pudo hacer nada para cambiarlo porque tenía encima la muerte. Luego su imagen quedó por el suelo y de nada le valió haber sido buena persona, ayudar a sus amigos cuando lo necesitaban, colaborar con obras de caridad a muchas organizaciones, el ayudó a mucha gente y quien dijo algo bueno cuando el murió nadie. Realmente el fue víctima de su propio entorno. Porque se codeo de personas inescrupulosas, interesadas, aprovechadas.Debio estar cerca de mejores personas. El dinero es el peor enemigo.
@@italiaanto 👍👌👏
Quería contar su biografía con la Sra. Davidson. Pero sólo le quedaban 27 días antes de morir. RH se sinceró.. . . .o lo intentó.
Estaba demasiado enfermo, débil y sospechaba que el Sr. Nader sólo esperaba su herencia - puede ser, nunca lo sabremos -.
RH realmente cometió muchos errores en la vida y no fue muy inteligente.
Algunos lo sabían muy bien, pero RH estaba demasiado ocupado consigo mismo, con su trabajo soñado y con la opinión de sus compañeros.
Pagó un alto precio por ello.
Bisexual no creo. ET ya estaba establecido en el negocio del entretenimiento.
Tenía la ventaja de tener una buena novia con ET. Tras el divorcio, el secreto más conocido ya era conocido por Hollywood. Casi sólo tenía con los hombres asuntos.
De 1962 a 1966 mantuvo una relación clandestina con un corredor de bolsa o agente inmobiliario. John Edgar Hoover tenía a RH en el pateador
por su homosexualidad, aunque también vivía en el armario. La carrera de RH era más importante y entonces se separó de su novio con el corazón encogido.
RH nunca fue realmente feliz después de 1966. A partir de 1970 su carrera empezó a resentirse un poco e incluso aceptó ofertas de series.
En los primeros años hizo dos o tres películas, pero después de 1970 fue más bien una película cada dos años.
Le roía el ego y otros actores conseguían los papeles que él quería.
Righhhhhhhhht.
Whatever
She just sounds like a bitter old woman
he was gay as night and day Phyllis Gates was the 'Beard' and it worked!
yes , worked for a period of time , but people can not live with a lie rest of life
She was gay - he was her beard
@Cindy Jayes I think you have it wrong - Rock didn't appreciate that Lesbian trying to blackmail him also i wish you well-
@Cindy Jayes I accept your apology - read the celebrity, Liz Smith (a very good friend of Rock) report on how she overturned the blackmail onto Phyliss Gates (being a lesbian ). ( I'm not a liar thats all I can tell you
Thank you and peace to you
I'm sure he loved her from his heart chakra, but the his chakra took over... and he died
Si la amó, estaba enamorado de ella.
Total fake,he just married her because he was scared the gay rumors would ruin his career.
I heard he had affairs with women
Why even go through the fraud?
+Vertical Horizon People still do
At the time it was thought to be a threat to their carreer's as 'romantic' leading men,ppl are more enlightened now.
That's all bull!- The marriage between Rock Hudson and Phyllis Gates was arranged y Gate's boss, Henry Wilson, to stop the rumours about Rock. - This was known as a 'Lavender Marriage' .- Phyllis was a lesbian and Rock was gay. -
How true
She was used silly women
