Rock Hudson

''Rock Hudson'' begins at the conclusion of the Marc Christian trial and then flashes back to cover as small amount of Hudson's life and career. 'Roy Fitzgerald' (Thomas Ian Griffith) walks into Henry Willson (Andrew Robinson) wanting to be a movie star. Willson gets the newly named 'Rock Hudson' a one-line role in a war film which it takes him 38 times to get right. His mother, Kay (Diane Ladd) is not impressed about his new career. On a film set he meets Tim Murphy (Thom Matthews) and they start a relationship and then move in together. Wilson is alarmed by this and urges his to meet his new secretary, Phyllis Gates (Daphne Ashbrook). They then fall in love much to Tims's heartbreak, who moves out. While in this new relationship, he still visits gay bars. Phyllis is shocked and they later divorce and he them fires his manager Willson. His career begins to decline and on one movie set the 1966 movie ''Seconds (1966 film)'', he played a middle-aged man who underwent radical plastic surgery in an attempt to recapture his lost youth. This upsets Hudson to the point where he has a breakdown and director John Frankenheimer (Don Galloway) has to close the set to comfort a crying Hudson. Hudson then meets Marc Christian (William R. Moses) who becomes his lover, but without telling Marc he had AIDS. He attempted a secret treatment in Paris, but had to cut it short to appear on ''Dynasty (1981 TV series)'' in late 1984. Later during a press conference for her old friend, Doris Day (Diane Behrens), the secret and Hudson were out. Then Hudson dies of AIDS, and Christian sues Hudson's estate for putting him in danger.<ref name="Farber"/><ref name="Aragon"></ref>
