A very sad and perplexing account of a handsome screen idol living his life under a pretense and dying ravaged by disease and lovelessness. To thine own self be true, Rock! Tear down the closet door!

An informative, respectful overview of Hudson's life and career. The authors present the facts without descending into sensationalism.
