The Untold Truth Of Rock Hudson

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.
