IT'S A ROCK HUDSON REVIVAL

Rock Hudson, as many of you will know (come on, dear, I know it didn’t happen last week but do keep up) was the dashing, heroic hearthrob of film in the 1950s and 1960s. One of his finest films, Pillow Talk (co-starring Doris Day and Tony Randall) is being re-released on limited edition Blu-Ray. To celebrate this, we thought we’d have a little look back at this chiseled actor, who was in fact in the closet for almost all of his career. He tragically died of an AIDS-related illness in the 80s, the first well-known person to die as a result of the AIDS crisis, but his memory lives on today. Pillow Talk is released on Blu-ray as part of a Limited Edition Digibook range on 7 May from Universal Pictures UK (Ltd).
