Rock Hudson (born Roy Harold Scherer Jr.; November 17, 1925 – October 2, 1985) was an American actor. One of the most popular movie stars of his time, Hudson's screen career spanned four decades. A prominent heartthrob of the Golden Age of Hollywood, he achieved stardom with his role in Magnificent Obsession (1954), followed by All That Heaven Allows (1955) and Giant (1956), for which he received a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actor. Hudson also found continued success with a string of romantic comedies co-starring Doris Day: Pillow Talk (1959), Lover Come Back (1961), and Send Me No Flowers (1964). During the late 1960s, his films included Seconds (1966), Tobruk (1967), and Ice Station Zebra (1968). Unhappy with the film scripts he was offered, Hudson turned to television and was a hit, starring in the popular mystery series McMillan & Wife (1971–1977). His last role was as a guest star on the fifth season (1984–1985) of the primetime ABC soap opera Dynasty, until AIDS-related illness made it impossible for him to continue.

In case there was desperation, I guess there were ideas: Note 1 Dangers: Planning of Bipolar people planned with Abdus Salaam (sometimes cancer producing) of vs doctors without a cross for spin 0 statistics to run and ruin in there are ‘short’ tailed or witted vs physics (Long tailed) as in Optics produced more ‘garbage’ oriented views on TV. In addition, I once published ‘Weak statistic sand spin statistics’ (science20) , to show and define the flaws of the spin statistics. However a happy note during Christmas is below. Note 2: Philanthropy A actor will have acted once at least for Philanthropy is better than none. Dairy queen and charges of 10,000 $ and 900 customers on the CBS news. (12.21.20) "It is a selfless act": 900 customers pay for each other's meal at Dairy Queen in Minnesota - CBS News Note 3. If the conflict of people exists for one note vs other than the condition is often like SCID. Note 4. Ramanujan’s Magic squares gave some hope through vitamins possibly being allowed to spell birthdays! Note 5. Fish oil is better than sugar for no need. Note 6: Pimple, Pinworms, and Beeswax, whose _______ is it anyway? Note 7: One professor said it is you, your business. Note 8: Don’t use maximal velocity that much like in Getty Lee and Rush for ‘Tom Sawyer.’ Once Tom Bayes came with normal probability –P- and due to the trouble, people that that is all they want!

The life of actors is not always glamour. Rock Hudson, who worked on shows like ‘Martian Chronicle’ which was sci/fy, may have to depict life different based on the times and many movies. Rock Hudson contracted AIDS somehow and came in the open.That was a time when little was understood in science it seems. Though mysteries of things such as the Photoelectric effect exist when people seem to switch, there are other types of concerns. There was no parameter time independence then to people shown. The problem of severely compromised immune disease is an old condition is related to Immune disease too. People have to live in a bubble for their environment and their condition. However, there are factors that may make it worse for them related to cardiovascular disease. The other issue can be if they are mentally handicapped like Bipolar. The West showed a movie with John Travolta, ‘The boy in the bubble.’ The East shows a comparison called ‘the sky is pink’ with Priyanka Chopra.

I don't see James Dean in the list. He should be in there.

ChewSep 19, 2010

these actress and actors are wrong. He never dated Jim Neighbors. The story behind them no pun intented was that his friends sent out a wedding invite for a false party. The invite said to join the two in marriage making rock`s name rock pile ha ha. Rock said that women were unclean and he dated many more men than women

Is there any truth to the rumor that Rock Hudson and Lolly Vegas (lead singer and guitarist for the group Redbone - Come and et Your Love, Witch Queen of New Orleans)were especially close in the mid-70`s?

cwm368Dec 28, 2009

Those relations with women were fabricated, hope you all know that.
