Henry Willson was one of the quintessential power brokers in
Hollywood during the late 1940s and 1950s when he launched the
careers of Rock Hudson, Lana Turner, Tab Hunter, Natalie Wood, and
many others. He was also a true casting couch agent, brokering sex
for opportunity on the silver screen. While this practice was
rampant across Hollywood, for gay actors and film professionals the
casting couch was a dangerous cliff: a public revelation could and
would ruin a career. "The Man Who Invented Rock Hudson" is an
incredible biography as well as a harrowing look into Hollywood at
a time of great sexual oppression, roaming vice squads searching
for gay and/or communist activity, and the impossibilities for gay
actors of the era.
