Produktbeschreibung
Devastatingly handsome and clean-cut, Rock Hudson was the embodiment of romantic masculinity in American cinema through-out the 50’s and 60’s. Yet as All That Heaven Allows reveals, keeping secrets was a way of life for him. In a more conservative era, Hudson’s homosexuality was thought to be at odds with his straight-arrow image. Rock was continuously threatened with public exposure, not only by scandal sheets like Confidential but by a number of his own partners.  Then, in 1985, came a shocking announcement: Hudson was battling AIDS.  At the end of his life, the actor would assume his most important role, transcending his own celebrity by becoming the face of a global pandemic. Featuring interviews with Carol Burnett, Joel Grey, Piper Laurie, Jack Scalia, Claudia Cardinale, Armistead Maupin, Arlene Dahl, and Robert Osborne, All That Heaven Allows includes new in-sights from friends, family members, and former partners. More than thirty years after his death, Rock Hudson’s complete story—sensational, heartbreaking and courageous—has finally been told.
