* harry hudson gay *
Is Harry Hudson-Taylor gay? Nowhere is that more apparent than s discsn of Hudson’s own attu toward havg to hi his homosexualy om an dtry, and fan base, that would not tolerate . Never nfed about his sexualy, Hudson arrived Hollywood om Wka, Illois (after a WWII stt the Navy) as a gay man who knew the proverbial sre, keepg his personal proclivi behd closed doors, and—wh guidance and groomg om agent Henry Willson, who shepherd him and many other queer actors through this beefke-y era—projectg himself films as the embodiment of ntemporary than takg a nventnal talkg-head approach to s non-fictn bgraphy, Rock Hudson: All That Heaven Allowed melds varied d terviews wh photographs, text documents, TV and news clips, and footage om Hudson’s films.
IS GARY HUDSON GAY?
Director Kijak, however, ref to fe Hudson’s legacy as simply that of a famo talent who was tormented by his abily to exist as a proudly gay man. Tal om the Cy thor Armistead Mp not that Hudson was part of a pre-liberatn generatn that took pri verg for each other even as they supported the burgeong movement, and Ken Maley not that when he took the actor to a gay sex club Hudson was not only an enthiastic participant but was blhely unperturbed when the partner he was wh cried out for the entire tablishment to hear, “Oh my God, ’s Rock Hudson! Not bee mak me look gay, or mak me look straight, or mak me look bisexual, but bee I thk looks ol.
Henry Willson was an unscpulo talent agent who mold gay stars to the "beefke" ial of 1950s Hollywood — while also preyg on them. As a premier talent agent who happened to be gay, Henry Willson unrstood that better than most.
Stty Bowers, who once ran a prostutn rg for gay men the film dtry, explaed was no piic to live as a gay man wh the town’s spotlight on your back. “He would fd the young boys who almost all me om horrible home suatns, ” said Hollywood show-nner Ryan Murphy, “…and take them on as clients…He was a tormented gay man who preyed on tormented gay men. Many, cludg Hudson and Hunter, were closeted gay men.
HARRY STYL TO PERFORM ‘REALISTIC’ GAY SEX SCEN NEW FILM
Hudson’s bgrapher Mark Griff lled Willson’s procs “the gay stg uch. How thgs veloped was up to whomever Henry was pursug…That’s how Henry earned his ls-than-sterlg reputatn as Hollywood’s ‘lechero gay Svengali.
On the other hand, his reputatn as a shamels gay agent wh var addictns evably st him the relatnship. Willson’s drkg and dg e, bed wh his growg reputatn as a gay man, ma too risky for Hudson to ntue the associatn. While the show has him fancg a film featurg a happily-out Hudson as a gay leadg man, the real Willson fell to stutn and succumbed to his dg and alhol addictns.
