SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE The definitive biography of the
deeply complex and widely misunderstood matinee idol of Hollywood's
Golden Age. Devastatingly handsome, broad-shouldered and clean-cut,
Rock Hudson was the ultimate movie star. The embodiment of romantic
masculinity in American film throughout the '50s and '60s, Hudson
reigned supreme as the king of Hollywood. As an Oscar-nominated
leading man, Hudson won acclaim for his performances in glossy
melodramas (Magnificent Obsession), western epics (Giant) and
blockbuster bedroom farces (Pillow Talk). In the '70s and '80s,
Hudson successfully transitioned to television; his long-running
series McMillan & Wife and a recurring role on Dynasty
introduced him to a whole new generation of fans. The icon
worshipped by moviegoers and beloved by his colleagues appeared to
have it all. Yet beneath the suave and commanding star persona,
there was an insecure, deeply conflicted, and all too vulnerable
human being. Growing up poor in Winnetka, Illinois, Hudson was
abandoned by his biological father, abused by an alcoholic
stepfather, and controlled by his domineering mother. Despite
seemingly insurmountable obstacles, Hudson was determined to become
an actor at all costs. After signing with the powerful but
predatory agent Henry Willson, the young hopeful was transformed
from a clumsy, tongue-tied truck driver into Universal Studio's
resident Adonis. In a more conservative era, Hudson's wholesome,
straight arrow screen image was at odds with his closeted
homosexuality. As a result of his gay relationships and clandestine
affairs, Hudson was continually threatened with public exposure,
not only by scandal sheets like Confidential but by a number of his
own partners. For years, Hudson dodged questions concerning his
private life, but in 1985 the public learned that the actor was
battling AIDS. The disclosure that such a revered public figure had
contracted the illness focused worldwide attention on the epidemic.
Drawing on more than 100 interviews with co-stars, family members
and former companions, All That Heaven Allows finally delivers a
complete and nuanced portrait of one of the most fascinating stars
in cinema history. Author Mark Griffin provides new details
concerning Hudson's troubled relationships with wife Phyllis Gates
and boyfriend Marc Christian. And here, for the first time, is an
in-depth exploration of Hudson's classic films, including Written
on the Wind, A Farewell to Arms, and the cult favorite Seconds.
With unprecedented access to private journals, personal
correspondence, and production files, Griffin pays homage to the
idol whose life and death had a lasting impact on American culture.

For those of you who don't like cats, you are in luck; this is not
a book about cats. It is just a catchy title. Sorry cat lovers.
It's a journal kept by an angel of the people in a little town in
the Rocky Mountains; snapshots taken from the 1830s to the present.
For those of you who don't like people, this book might give you a
new appreciation for those around you. Or maybe not depending on
just how grouchy you really are. If that is the case, I wouldn't
worry about anyone liking you anyway, unless you have a lot of
money; then they will still talk behind your back. Go ahead and
read my book in private. You wouldn't want anyone to actually see
you laugh. As for the rest of you, I hope you get as big a kick out
of reading this as I had writing it. I have driven my wife and all
of her relative's crazy, so now it's your turn. My name is Griffin
Marcus. I am the guardian angel of Parker Town. The stories in this
book are taken from people I have met or observed as a fly on the
wall angel. Snippets of ordinary folks doing extraordinary things
or just caught being themselves. I love them all. It's a great job

A little town seen through the eys of an angel. My name is Griffin
Marcus. I am a little town guardian angel. I'm not a saint or a
star of any sort; more of a down-home, seat-of-the-pants,
no-frills, what you see is what you get angel. When I was on Earth
in the 1890s I was murdered by a crazy woman who claimed to be my
wife. The bullet shot right through my head and killed my dog. The
Parker Town sheriff arrested her. The next day the townspeople hung
her for murder. Of course, I can still hear it now: "Saloon keepers
are a dime a dozen But shootin' a good dog Now that's a hangin'
offense." Justice was a lot swifter back then. A tree limb was not
hard to come by and neither was a rope. I met the shooter on the
Other Side and it turns out she had one of those chemical
imbalances that made her delusional. Our paths cross now and then
but she still makes me nervous. My job, as the Head Guardian Angel
of Parker Town, nestled at 11,000 feet in the Rocky Mountains, is
to keep a journal; snippets and stories of the "goings on" for the
last 100 years. I'm a bit behind and God is not thrilled about it.
He has even shown me a slide-show of my next possible mission; a
little paradise called Bangladesh.
Before the city came alive with people, our gracious and dependable
hero, JohnnyPump, rallies his pals to create a safe and positive
atmosphere for the Festival.
For a chemist, the word catalyst means a substance that rapidly
brings about change, allowing transformations to occur that may not
have been possible without the introduction of that catalytic
agent. For a spiritual seeker, the concept of shaktipat is
understood in the same way. It is a moment of pure contact with the
divine that quickens the journey towards awakening and raises the
state of the seeker to an entirely new level of understanding and
experience. In this volume of the Essential Spiritual Training
series, Mark Griffin answers four of the most salient questions a
seeker can ask: What is shaktipat? Why should I be interested it?
How is shaktipat given? When does shaktipat become available to me?
This is volume 2 of the Essential Spiritual Training Series
