Hudson, Rock

 orig. Roy Harold Scherer, Jr.

(born Nov. 17, 1925, Winnetka, Ill., U.S.—died Oct. 2, 1985, Beverly Hills, Calif.) U.S. film actor. He worked at odd jobs before making his film debut in Fighter Squadron (1948). His manly, wholesome good looks made him a popular star in Douglas Sirk melodramas such as Magnificent Obsession (1954) and All That Heaven Allows (1955), and he displayed a flair for comedy in a series of films with Doris Day, including Pillow Talk (1959), Come September (1961), and Send Me No Flowers (1964). He later starred in the television series McMillan and Wife (1971–77). His death from AIDS greatly increased awareness of the disease.
