Did Rock Hudson Really Have a Black Boyfriend? In Ryan Murphy’s Hollywood mini-series currently streaming on Netflix, the chiseled God that is Rock Hudson meets black screenwriter Archie Coleman and they fall in love with each other. Despite the fact that being gay was taboo at that time, the two were open about their relationship and defiantly walked the red carpet while holding hands despite some boos from the crowd.
Because Archie Coleman is a fictional character, we know that the above scene actually never happened. However, did the Hollywood icon — who is masterfully played by Jake Picking — ever really date a black man? Did he defy the norms of the day twice over? First by being open about his sexuality — it is a fact that his gayness is an open secret in Hollywood — and second, by going out with a person of color?
The answer? It is very unlikely that he ever dated a black man because it would have come out already 35 years after his death in 1985. Also, biographies written about the movie star identify his lovers and none of them are known to be people of color. Lastly, dating history website, whosdatedwho.com, has a list of the Academy-nominated actor’s boyfriends and partners and none of them are black.
Anyhoo, here’s a list of the late movie star’s male lovers and partners: Tom Clark (1981), Marc Christian (1980 – 1985), Jim Nabors (1970), Jack Coates (1967), Lee Garlington (1962 – 1965), Liberace, Anthony Perkins, Henry Willson, and George Nader. And check out the following photos of Rock chillin’ with three of his then lovers:
Lee Garlington . The movie extra/stockbroker claims that this is the only picture he had with Rock because the latter’s agent banned them from having their pictures taken together.
Tom Clark . Tom and Rock met in 1964 and became lovers. According to the LA Times, “Clark moved into Hudson’s home, where he lived until 1983, and he later returned to help care for Hudson in the months before the movie star died of AIDS-related diseases.”
Marc Christian MacGinnis . After Rock’s death, Marc sued the actor’s estate for and won a multi-million award for having been exposed to AIDS by his erstwhile lover. The movie star only acknowledged that he had AIDS in 1985 or a year after he knew of the fact. In filing his case against the Hudson estate, Marc “contended that the star put him at risk of contracting the disease by concealing his illness and continuing to have sexual relations with him.” Although he tested negative of the virus, the jury believed him an awarded him ten million dollars.

Rock Hudson (born Roy Harold Scherer Jr. ; November 17, 1925 – October 2, 1985) was an American actor. One of the most popular movie stars of his time, he had a screen career spanning more than three decades. A prominent heartthrob in the Golden Age of Hollywood , he achieved stardom with his role in Magnificent Obsession (1954), [2] followed by All That Heaven Allows (1955), and Giant (1956), for which he received a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actor . Hudson also found continued success with a string of romantic comedies co-starring Doris Day : Pillow Talk (1959), Lover Come Back (1961), and Send Me No Flowers (1964). During the late 1960s, his films included Seconds (1966), Tobruk (1967), and Ice Station Zebra (1968). Unhappy with the film scripts he was offered, [3] Hudson turned to television and was a hit, starring in the popular mystery series McMillan & Wife (1971–1977). His last role was as a guest star on the fifth season (1984–1985) of the primetime ABC soap opera Dynasty , until AIDS-related illness made it impossible for him to continue. [3]
Although discreet regarding his sexual orientation, it was a known fact amongst Hudson's colleagues in the film industry that he was a gay man . In 1984, Hudson was diagnosed with AIDS . The following year, he became one of the first celebrities to disclose his AIDS diagnosis. Hudson was the first major celebrity to die from an AIDS-related illness, on October 2, 1985, at age 59. [4] [5]
Hudson was born Roy Harold Scherer Jr. on November 17, 1925, in Winnetka, Illinois, the only child of Katherine (née Wood), a homemaker and later telephone operator, and Roy Harold Scherer Sr., an auto mechanic. [6] His father was of German and Swiss descent, while his mother had English and Irish ancestry. He was raised as a Roman Catholic . [7] During the Great Depression , Hudson's father lost his job and abandoned the family. [8] Hudson's parents divorced when he was four years old; a few years later, in 1932, his mother married Wallace Fitzgerald, a former Marine Corps officer whom young Roy despised. [6] Fitzgerald adopted his stepson without his consent, and his legal name then became Roy Harold Fitzgerald. [6] The marriage eventually ended in a bitter divorce and produced no children. [6]
Hudson attended New Trier High School in Winnetka. [6] At some point during his teenage years, he worked as an usher in a movie theater and developed an interest in acting. [4] He tried out for a number of school plays, but failed to win any roles because he could not remember his lines, a problem that continued to occur through his early acting career. [8]
He graduated from high school in 1943, and the following year enlisted in the United States Navy during World War II. [6] After training at the Great Lakes Naval Training Station , he departed San Francisco aboard the troop transport SS Lew Wallace with orders to report to Aviation Repair and Overhaul Unit 2, then located on Samar, Philippines, as an aircraft mechanic. [9] [8] In 1946, he returned to San Francisco aboard an aircraft carrier, [10] and was discharged the same year. [6]
Hudson then moved to Los Angeles to live with his biological father (who had remarried) [8] and to pursue an acting career. Initially he worked at odd jobs, [6] including as a truck driver. [8] He applied to the University of Southern California's dramatics program, but was rejected due to poor grades. [4] After he sent talent scout Henry Willson a picture of himself in 1947, Willson took him on as a client and changed the young actor's name to Rock Hudson; later in life, Hudson admitted that he hated the name. [8] The name was coined by combining the Rock of Gibraltar and the Hudson River . [11] Hudson later named his independent film production company Gibraltar Productions. [12] Politically, Hudson was a conservative Republican, he campaigned and voted for Barry Goldwater in the 1964 United States presidential election . [13]
