The movie "Rock Hudson: All That Heaven Allowed" is a documentary about the intimate and personal life of actor Rock Hudson. The documentary uses plenty of archival video and photography to plot Hudson's life, from his childhood in Illinois to his early days and later ascent in Hollywood. The documentary delves into how queer stars concealed their personal lives and how Hollywood fabricated a straight, all-American white boy image. It wasn't until Hudson's diagnosis and eventual death from AIDS that the truth was revealed. His early death in the AIDS crisis had a galvanizing effect on the movement.
Rock Hudson lived the life he desired, even if it meant being manipulated, used, and leading a double life, including changing his own name.
