I admired the lasting love he shared with Eydie and found joy and comfort in their music. If you had a ticket to their show you expected to get your money's worth and they always delivered that, and more. May God grant them both Eternal Rest.

Hudson had to be real gay to turn down what was out there. The casting couch was a real thing back in the day. You might be surprised at what sort of old time Hollywood photos are out there.

I don't think he had much option in the first part (plus, he did get Gomer Pyle, didn't he?).

I would not be surprised of the second part - the only surprise is that they have not surfaced as of yet.

I was talking about Hollywood starlets, females. Those pictures have surfaced. Unless she marrried Irving Thalberg, the women put out.

I am reminded of this story: Fredric March was a noted groper and one time Carole Lombard, fed up with March getting handsy, put on a huge ***** under her dress and bided her time.

When golfing, feel free to use the phrase, "That putt is a Rock Hudson. It looks straight, but it's not".

Many years ago I saw him and Eydie on Broadway in "Golden Rainbow". We had standing room tickets and at one point while Eydie was doing a number I look to my left and there's Steve standing next to me watching his wife.That was a surprise. The temptation was to ask him Aren't you supposed to be up there? Of course i didn't. It was a fun show.

Good show not to bother him.

They were awesome. Eydie's voice was wonderful. She fell so out of favor, that she used a pseudonym for a while. Steve Allen Protege's ??
