All That Heaven Allows: A Biography of Rock Hudson par Mark Griffin
It was well written and well researched, but I felt that this biography went into to much detail about the plot of the different movies that Rock Hudson stared in.
The Rock Hudson Biography “All That Heaven Allows” is an exhaustive detailed sad story of one of the most famous closeted Hollywood stars. Each film and sexual encounter are thoroughly explored. This comprehensive history lags with repetitiveness. Only towards the finale when the bitter AIDS diagnosis is revealed does the book give us some new insights.
Well researched and balanced bio of actor Rock Hudson. The author provided a good look at Hudson's acting career and his development and improvement as an actor over the years. Yet we also hear (thankfully not in too much detail) about the many different men who were part of Hudson's life. There are plenty of interviews with those who knew and worked with Hudson. There are extensive end notes and a bibliography but no filmography or list of tv or stage appearances. I also would have liked to have known what happened to the men in Hudson's life. Overall though this is the best of the biographies I have read on Hudson. I felt that the author respected his subject but yet did not whitewash his life.… (plus d'informations)

knahs | 3 autres critiques | Oct 11, 2019 | Well written, somewhat sorrowful tale of a closeted gay man during the golden age of Hollywood - his loves, his losses, his interactions with agents and with Hollywood in general. The King of Hollywood during the 1950s and yet with all that, there is still the pain of a man abused in childhood and never really allowed to be himself.
