This long-awaited biography is the first full account of movie legend Rock Hudson's career and colourful private life to appear since his AIDS-related death in 1995. In it, best-selling author David Bret discusses with extreme frankness every aspect of Rock's life: his scores of male lovers, sham marriage and his pathological battle to prevent his homosexuality being divulged by the press. There is also new evidence pointing towards the fact that Rock's promiscuity may not have contributed towards his HIV status. Using a wealth of hugely controversial, previously unpublished material, the end result of Bret's extensive research is a rewarding portrait of a warm-hearted gentle giant, atrociously maligned by the media owing to the nature of his death, yet still revered twenty years on by fans of both sexes and film enthusiasts around the world.
