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.

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
