Posts from The Ringo Kid in thread „Rock Hudson“

Quote from The Tennesseean

Carl...he never said anything about Rock. The comment was made about Monty Clift, and it was along the lines of one of the stuntman coming up to JW on one the first days of filming, and saying (supposedly): "You know he's a f**, right Duke?!"

To which JW replied: "I don't care if he IS a f**, the son-of-a-bitch can act!"

According to everything I've read, and even been told by folks who knew JW or worked with him, said that he knew about Rock, but couldn't care less. Like always, it was all about the WORK.

Hi T/ thanks for that info. I just couldnt recall what exactly was said but--I also figure that when I read something like that? that someone who seems to be jealous of Duke--wanted to smear his good name.

Carl...you and I are in total agreement about the only thing "homosexual" in the movie WAS TB, and that was strictly off-screen.

I watched it again, and never saw anything even resembling a gay connection.

Heh heh, the only thing ive ever read--that Duke ever mentioned (allegedly) that had anything to do with guys liking guys wass allegedly he said something about Rock Hudson being in The Undefeated. I cant remember his alleged words but something about a "fa____ working on the movie." or somehting of that nature? Other than that one alleged possibility--ive never been told-read or seen Duke mention anything like that before?
