Rock Hudson is a 1990 American made-for-television crime drama film directed by John Nicolella. The story is based on My Husband, Rock Hudson, a 1987 novel by Phyllis Gates, Rock Hudson's wife (1955–1958). It is the story of their marriage, written after Hudson's 1985 death from AIDS. In the book Gates wrote that she was in love with Hudson and that she did not know Hudson was gay when they married, and was not complicit in his deception. The movie is also based on magazine articles, interviews and court records. Including transcripts of the Los Angeles Superior Court trial after which Marc Christian won a large settlement from the actor's estate because Hudson had hidden from him the fact that he was suffering from AIDS. Later, Marc Miller accused the movie of malicious lies. In April 1989, the court award to Christian was reduced to $5.5 million.
