Episode description
As Pride Month continues, the Dames go into the career of Rock Hudson, one of the most famous closeted actors of classic Hollywood. In this episode, we focus on three of Hudson's melodramas with Douglas Sirk, and how Hudson's star persona and undercurrents of queerness inform the films: Magnificent Obsession (1954), All that Heaven Allows (1955), and Written on the Wind (1956).
Next week, we'll be chatting about lesbian films: Bound, Rafiki, and Love Lies Bleeding.
