American actor
Born: November 17, 1925
Died: October 2, 1985

Rock Hudson (1925–1985) was an American actor who became one of Hollywood’s most celebrated leading men. Born Roy Harold Scherer Jr. in Winnetka, Illinois, he grew up in modest circumstances and displayed an early interest in acting, although his career began in a very different realm—working as a truck driver. After serving in the U.S. Navy during World War II, Hudson moved to Los Angeles to pursue his dream of stardom.

Hudson’s career took off in the 1950s with his performances in romantic dramas and comedies, most notably alongside Doris Day in films like Pillow Talk (1959), Lover Come Back (1961), and Send Me No Flowers (1964). Known for his charm, good looks, and screen presence, he also earned critical acclaim for dramatic roles in films such as Giant (1956), for which he received an Academy Award nomination.

In the 1970s, Hudson transitioned to television, starring in the popular series McMillan & Wife. Tragically, his life took a dramatic turn in the 1980s when he became one of the first major celebrities to publicly acknowledge an AIDS diagnosis. Hudson’s death in 1985 marked a turning point in public awareness of the disease, solidifying his legacy as both a film icon and an unintended advocate for health and social issues.

Rock Hudson’s 5 most popular quotes

• Someone asked me once what my philosophy of life was, and I said some crazy thing. I should have said, how the hell do I know?
• The most dangerous thing for an actor is to refuse to listen to anyone else, to feel you know more than anybody.
