Rock Hudson

Rock Hudson (November 17, 1925 – October 2, 1985) was an American actor, famous for his rugged good looks. He was the first major American celebrity known to have died from AIDS (specifically, AIDS-related cancer of the lymph glands), and the announcement of his death from the disease at the age of 59 brought it wider public attention in the United States.
