HBO's 'Rock Hudson: All That Heaven Allowed' reexamines Hudson’s legacy as an idealized heartthrob whose 1985 death changed the public perception of AIDS.

But that isn’t to say that Hollywood was completely oblivious to Hudson’s love life. At the behest of his notorious agent, Henry Willson, who was known for grooming his younger male clients to maintain a more macho image, Hudson married Willson’s secretary, Phyllis Gates, in 1955 — a union that lasted only three years — but questions continued to swirl about the actor’s sexuality, according to the film.
The producers also made a deal with the actor’s estate, which gave the production team unprecedented access to his personal belongings. “They form a really neat, compact arc that will bring you from the pre-Stonewall era before gay liberation to the other side of the AIDS crisis,” he said. “It gives you an inside look at his life in a very intimate way through real-life anecdotes, memories and experiences that I don’t think you’d get by just putting famous talking heads in a row.”
