An Original Vintage 8 1/4" x 10" [21 x 25 cm] 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 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 AND Shelley Winters was an actress from the 1940s to the 1990s. She started as a sexy blonde (she was good friends with Marilyn Monroe), but she gained considerable weight, however she had memorable supporting roles in movies of the 1970s on. Some of her movies include: The Night of the Hunter, A Patch Of Blue (winner of the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film), Red River, Winchester '73, The Diary Of Anne Frank (winner of the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film), The Place In the Sun (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), and The Poseidon Adventure (nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film). She passed away in 2006 at the age of 85 AND George Stevens was a director and producer from the 1920s to the 1970s. Some of his movies include: Giant (winner of the Best Director Academy Award for this film), Gunga Din, Vivacious Lady, and Place In The Sun (winner of the Best Director Academy Award for this film). He passed away in 1975 at the age of 70. Important Added Info: Note that this great candid photo originally had a snipe on the back, but it is no longer present. We feel certain this is a candid from "Giant", from 1956, and that Shelley Winters was visiting on the set, and stopped by to talk with Rock Hudson and director George Stevens. Condition: very good to fine. The still is in very nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
