UN-CORRECTED PROOF * IMAGINE* You have a really closefriend, one
you see everyday, one with whom youhaveexchanged confidences and
shared experiences, and had so many fun times together.Imagine the
worst possible disease, and then think how you would feel if you
found outyour friendhad it. Imagine watchingyour buddy as he
foughtsuch ahorrible disease, seeinghim succumb to that disease---a
person you love, a friend who has been such an important part of
your life. Now imagine(althoughsome may find this part
nearlyimpossible) almost every person you come upon as having
nothing but derogatory remarks about your best friend's behavior,
about the way he died, about the way he was. Your friend, you knew,
was an extremelynice guy. A kind man, a generous employer, a loving
person. Oh...didI mention this friend was well-known, a oncevery
famous and beloved Superstar? Yet, because of the...circumstances
surrounding his death, the discrimination because he was gay, and
the atrociousness of theout and out liesby his accuser, such an
inaccurateportrait was painted of your friend that you hardly
recognized him as thefinemanyouknew. In fact, twenty-five years
after his demise, your friend is stillchiefly remembered because he
had AIDS. Not that he was a talented actor who entertained millions
of people. Not for the all-around niceman he was. The unfairness of
it all What would you do? I wrote this book. My name is Martin
Flaherty, and I have just completed the first in what I hope to be
a series of books entitled, "At Home" with Rock Hudson: Behind the
Walls of His Life. Yes, my friend was Rock Hudson; I workedfor him
for a decadeand played with him and I knew him perhaps better than
anybody, those last ten years of his life.We had so many
outrageously fun times together; Rock had such a great sense of
humor, and I have many of the anecdotes he personally relatedto me
from his life and his career. For thosenot familiar with the life
of this star who shaped the way the world saw AIDS, maybe it is
time to learn. I also have countless...shall we
say...unusualstories from myexperiences at his house, the typical
days spent with the less than typical characters within Rock
Hudson's "Castle." Yes, he called his home the "Castle," and he was
a king of a manand I want the world to finally know him as I did,
to remember him with love and the respect he deserved from a life
spentdevoted to his fans. Martin F.J. Flaherty III November 1, 2011
