Rock Hudson launched the career of Lee Majors

Miracle at Middlesboro

By Flora Rand / TV Radio Mirror 1966

“A wonderfully heart-warming story – the compassionate every editor dream for every month – has recently come to glow about Lee Majors, perhaps the hottest young TV celestial body to emerge in recent years. The story begins in Lee’s hometown, Middlesboro, Kentucky – population 14,482 – and shuttles back and forth from the misting green hills and muted speech of the south to the polyglot voices and hustle and bustle of Hollywood. So adv has this story unfolded that only by great nice luck – and some diligent reporting – was TV Radio Mirror fit to get it exclusively.

The climax of this big “secret story” about Lee Majors is much too fascinating to hold for a later paragraph. So let us reveal it first. While no Hollywood whistleblower has ever enter away from an interview with Lee with this reality, the truth of the matter is that Lee was first “discovered” and helped along to sudden stardom by none other than Rock Hudson!

How such a story could be kept covert must rank as the ninth wonder of the planet. Lee has never

Spotted at Mar-a-Lago. Didn't realize he was a Trump supporter.

Disappointing.

Not so surprising. He’s always struck me as dumb as a rock.

Most of those old Hollywood western actors are (or were when they were alive) hardcore republicans. James Garner is the only one I can think of who was liberal.

Sunday afternoon I finished Mark Griffin’s, All that Heaven Allows – a biography of Rock Hudson. The book is uneven. In places, it’s a page turner, but it has too many lifeless spots.

A major gripe is that Griffin doesn’t include enough material about Hudson’s early days in Illinois. Hudson had tortured relationships with both his absent father and his abusive stepfather. This intrigues the reader, but Griffin drops the subject after barely exploring it.

One thing that Griffin doesn’t skimp on is Rock’s sex life. He details all sorts of dalliances and possible dalliances. He portrays Hudson as highly driven to succeed as an actor and willing to engage in affairs with the many powerful queer men in Hollywood.

The most-salacious material covers the period after Hudson became a star. According to Griffin, Hudson had a casting couch for young men who aspired to be in his films. Guys who refused to “spend time” with Rock didn’t get parts in Rock’s films. Even more bizarre was Hudson’s involvement in a sex scandal with college football players from the University of Kentucky. Griffin says that two queer men in Lexington, Kentucky, procured many UK football players for Rock on h

Rock Hudson put Lee Majors on the highway to fame and fortune, but as the superstar lay dying, his protégé was nowhere to be seen.

Rock discovered Lee in a backwater Kentucky town 23 years ago, persuaded him to go to Hollywood and went out of his way to introduce him to agents and producers.

But as the AIDS-stricken actor fought for life, Majors was not among the string of celebrities – including Liz Taylor, Roddy McDowall and Nancy Walker – who were rushing to his bedside.

Paul Block, Majors’ publicist, is on record as denying that his client and Rock even knew each other. Recently, confronted with undeniable photographic evidence of the mysterious friendship, he issued on behalf of Majors, a brief “no comment”.

Yet, observers of the Hollywood scene in the 1960s told GLOBE that the friendship between Rock and Majors was widely known. Another cause says frankly, that Rock considered Majors to be his protégé. However, he adds: “I had the feeling that the feeling was not mutual.”

The insider continues: “Rock insisted Lee dye his hair blond to make him look more like the macho surfer type &#
