An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" Movie Still (Learn More) Rock Hudson was born in 1925. He was 6'4" (or was he 6'5"?) and he looked like a movie star, and it didn't take him long to become one. Some of his movies include: Giant (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), Seconds, and Ice Station Zebra. He appeared in around 70 movies, and starred in a TV series, McMillan & Wife, in the 1970s. He was a gay homosexual man at a time when one couldn't reveal that and continue in movies, and he had to hide that throughout his career (even having a sham marriage with interior designer Phyllis Gates in the 1950s), until he developed AIDS and could no longer hide it. When he publicly admitted that he had AIDS, it changed the public perception of the disease (particularly because Nancy Reagan was a very good friend of his and her husband was the President of the United States), and helped gain the funding and research that has led to so many advances in fighting it. He passed away in 1985 at the age of 59 from complications from AIDS. Important Added Info: Note that the still shows a great candid image of Rock Hudson at a Hollywood art gallery showing the works of Italian artist Nicola Simbari. Note that Hudson is photographed with John Gavin and his wife, and that Linda Cristal is standing next to Hudson, likely his "date". Also note that there is a paper snipe glued on the back of the still that describes the scene on the front (it does not affect the front of the still). Condition: very good to fine. There are a few faint emulsion scuffs scattered around the edges of the still, but they are truthfully not very noticeable at all except when the still is tilted to the light.
