520 Worshiped by moviegoers and beloved by his colleagues,
Hudson appeared to have it all. He grew up poor in
Winnetka, Illinois; was abandoned by his biological father,
abused by an alcoholic stepfather, and controlled by his
domineering mother. After signing with the powerful but
predatory agent Henry Willson, Hudson was transformed,
gaining a wholesome, straight arrow screen image was at
odds with his closeted homosexuality. In 1985 the public
learned that the actor was battling AIDS. Griffin draws on
interviews with co-stars, family members and former
companions to create a complete and nuanced portrait of
one of the most fascinating stars in cinema history. --
