Description

Rock Hudson: A Complex Life The definitive biography of Hollywood's Golden Age matinee idol, Rock Hudson, is a deeply nuanced exploration of a man who lived a double life to maintain his status as a movie star. Mark Griffin's candid and credible sources reveal the complexities of Hudson's life, from his childhood marked by poverty and abuse to his rise to fame as a leading man in Hollywood's most iconic films. Hudson's life was one of contradictions - a devastatingly handsome and clean-cut movie star, yet an insecure and deeply conflicted individual. Griffin's biography sheds light on the pressures of Hollywood's Golden Age, where leading men were expected to conform to a certain image, and the devastating consequences of this expectation on those who couldn't meet it. This biography is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the history of Hollywood and the lives of its most iconic stars.
