    A friend and neighbor of mine was an intimate friend of Rock Hudson, and the three of us had lunch at that friend's apartment, a couple floors down from mine, in the early 80s. Rock was a lovely person, very approachable, with an easy sense of humor, and slightly shy or withdrawn. I liked him very much. Of all the people I met and knew in Hollywood, he was one of the LEAST impressed with himself. He would have been saddened to see this circus play out, where his former lover went after the estate. He had removed the man from his will for a reason, and that should have been respected.

Sad that you often find out who your real friends are when you need them/their support the most. Something I noticed in his films but most in McMillan and Wife - he had the most wonderful and genuine smile and sense of humour. RIP Rock Hudson

      At the very beginning not a lot was known about it. Somewhere between 1972 and 73 I was living with my Mom's cousin and her son, he was a closet homosexual, and there was a man, friends of them, he was nicer to me than my relatives, reason I moved out soon. Anyway, he was in the hospital, very sick, but nobody knew what was wrong. Like I said, early 1970's. Later on when AIDS became so talked about it, I realized GEEZ, He had AIDS, one early victim. On the other hand, my relative, not sure if they were just friends or intimate involved, lived until late 1990's.

    Rock Hudson, being in sida stage, was likely contaminated since 1982/83. At this time, he was se*ually activ with Mark Christian and contagious. And we have no idea of the kind of se*ual activities they had during their affair. So Mark Christian was really put at risk even if only during the 1983 year...

    I always thought he was fabulous in those Doris Day comedies. If you read 'Bombshell' by Mike Rothmiller on the death of Marilyn Monroe, as well as Fred Otash's wiretaps on Marilyn with the Kennedys, he also recorded an argument between Rock & his wife re her discovering his real sexuality. Fred worked for both the FBI, CIA & the Mafia , he didnt care, as long as the money was right & he had dirt on many huge stars, not just Marilyn & Bobby & Jack. Hoover especially, at the time, was obsessed with the Kennedys & Hollywood stars: & loved collecting dirt on them for possible blackmail use in the future.

      He was the one bending the men over. He was a TOP. It was in recordings with his wife. She recording their conversations and said “How come you are so fast with me in bed? Is that how it is when you are with men?
      And Rock said : “No i last longer with men because it doesn’t fit… with you it fits”
      When you do that type of $3x act there can be tearing and bleeding. That part of the body wasn’t made for that. It doesn’t stretch like a woman’s part. It doesn’t self lubericate like a woman’s part. So if Rock is the one bending men over and there is a tear and some bleeding that’s how he would contract it from being the partner who inserts it 🍆 inside.
