The definitive biography of the deeply complex and widely misunderstood matinee idol of Hollywood's Golden Age. "Mark Griffin paints a vivid portrait of a man who lived a double life in order to maintain his status as a movie star. Griffin's sources are candid but credible, which makes the book a real page-turner. I came away admiring Hudson all the more, and feeling sad for the secret existence that Hollywood demanded of its leading men in the 1950s and 60s." -- Leonard Maltin, author of Hooked on Hollywood: Discoveries from a Lifetime of Film Fandom De
