Why is it that everyone is choosing to ignore the fact that Rock Hudson had a partner whom he never told about his disease? The man found out after Rock Hudson died.
I still refuse to belive that Rock was gay. Not that there is anything WRONG with it before people jump all over me for saying so... but any man who can WOO and LOVE women on screen the way Rock did has to be straight or the greatest actor ever to live.
@inkenyo Yeahh but you know homosexuals are known to understand women , it's not the case for all of course , but I think it was the case for Rock Hudson and that's why it works on the screen with women :)
@inkenyo He had open heart surgery and it seems quite possible he got the disease from a blood transfusion--at the time I don't think they were screening blood for HIV. But everyone is always willing to think the worst of a star after they are gone--e.g., what happened to Elvis' legacy too.
Dear Doris...... she proved what faithful friendship was....... something almost non existent in Hollywood. I admire her for that. And Rock...... well he was homosexual but more male and more of a man than any 10 top Hollywood actors of the last 30 years. Actually America seems to have become afraid of real masculinity as all the recent stars seem totally weak and asexual.
It doesnt matter what Rock had he was a terrific actor and singer!! You can tell she was in love with that man, but god had other plans and he loved the same gender and atleast he was happy in his life. Im glad she got to see him one last time
Hudson was a human being, like everyone else. The comment was directed at that truth, as exemplified in the feeling shared by both old friends. No one is made of celluloid.
@7beers Keeping pain private is the way that some people show their love for their friends and family. They think of it as a burden that they don't want to pass to others.
@7beers well at the time of the start of aids back then. people were very harsh on someone with aids. people lost jobs housing health care. no one would help them. so i don't blame him one bit for not trusting even the closest friends with his illness.
@covingtonjoe Especially when his closest friends were guys like Ronald Reagan and his pals in the Moral Majority, who acted as if it were a divine plague sent by god to kill gay people and that it's not something decent folk need worry themselves with.
Very touching and if any of you think Rock was just a pretty face, find the movie"Seconds" and watch it. His performance in that film blew me away. I hope Doris Day is doing well, wherever she is. The narrator of this clip, Peter Graves, was also a favorite of mine. May he and Rock continue to Rest In Peace.
@jlenoconel I see dozens of comments on websites like this about Christians saying people go to hell for being gay. Funny how I've never seen EVEN ONE comment by a Christian saying that. Christian-hatred is the new bigotry.
@7beers . when you abuse the name of Jesus Christ in any context you will bring the wrath of God on yourself.
Forget your concept of what a christian or ' religious' person is or should be. Focus only on Jesus Christ for he gave himself as a reconciliation between god and man. God is reconciled to man through the blood of the lamb of God-Jesus.
If you can accept him and live according to his words you will be on the path to all righteousness and the fulfilment of Gods plan for you. God bless u
This was the couple at the movies. Doris and Rock are perfect. Thanks for sharing. I´ve cried and it´s true I think that would make everybody cry who will see it. R.I.P. Rock
Well it just shows that you shouldn't take a gay friend for granted, i wish i was rock hudson. A few of my friends treated me like a fashion item, never gonna let that happen again. I love doris day for this, I'm happy i have a few friends like that now.
@oranger2525 Sensitive people always feel then need to say "Chill" whenever someone corrects them! And what does typing fast have to do with not knowing that Day is still alive? You mean, when you type fast, you forget which people are still alive? Cool.
25 yrs ago today, Rock passed away. There's a reason being different has been in the closet since the dawn of time. Because it's personal and embarrassing that you have desires for the same sex. No one knew; as it should be. Just like picking your nose. You don't want people to see, it's just gross, you're embarrassed when you do it, etc. Times changed and for some reason we all have been made to believe it's OK now. I guess if you get sick you can be treated without humiliation and may prolong
@Lipenstein i knew of this anniversary of his death say what you want about hudson but the sara davidson book rock his story really opened my eyes it was sensitive and took a humane approach to him, he was a good man he liked things we all do especially christmas those scenes with day are bitter sweet with rock what a testament to thy're love and friendship
Rock Hudson was a great actor....Even at the end of his life which was sad the aids diease took his body and beautiful face ....Please God may he R.I.P. forever....
Really wish I knew Doris Day in her time in the spotlight, but I wasn't born yet. lol She's still my favorite idle...too bad there's not a lot of people like Doris Day.. She's definately one in a million. Love you Doris <3 <3
A hollywood sister we once knew(RIP) said Miss Hudson was an annoying 'regular' in the steam room at the Sports Connection on santa monica blvd. Did she use a lot of drugs, including poppers? We would wager so.
Having enjoyed so much astoundingly great entertainment of Doris Day and Rock Hudson I can only say thanks for such great family entertainment, and as I stated on other post., America owes gratitude to these great actors. I don't have to agree with Rock's lifestyle to say he was a fine actor who complemented the comedy style of Doris & Rock movies. Aids was invented, or enhanced, according to de-classifed docs, in an Army Lab. It was not started from gay lifestyle activity.
@180goldenboy I think the hard work paid off,sometimes the ones that have to work harder appreciate it more. Thats the problem with celebs today they are handed everything on a silver plate. Rock is my favourite actor
Thats very true about people in any proffesion be it sports/acting or anything if someone has worked very hard for something and finally acheived there dream they appreciate so much more than ppl who have things just handed to them. My own personal favourite was James Stewart.
@180goldenboy Yes it is true in any profession-I am an aspiring dog grooming,and believe me that is NOT an easy job to learn,but it's been my dream and I have to work hard to get there. i just have to wait now to get into the school thats teaching. so yes I know what hard work and patience is about but pays off in the end
I am happy that this video was made with such tact.
