Henry Willson started off as a talent scout under powerhouse mogul David O. Selznick, for whom Willson procured women. The starmaker-to-be was therefore on the lookout for promising newcomers -- as actors, lovers and sometimes both -- when he received an unsolicited photograph from a movie star hopeful named Roy Scherer. Unbeknownst to Willson, the photograph of the handsome young man with bad teeth would have not only a career-defining impact for himself but, more importantly, redefine Hollywood's concept of the male heartthrob. Roy Scherer became Rock Hudson and for the next twenty-five years Henry Wilson became the man behind movie "beefcake." The Man Who Invented Rock Hudson delves into Willson's life in explicit, unsparing detail. Variety reporter Robert Hofler deftly chronicles Willson's maneuvers to sidestep the FBI's investigation into Hudson's sex life; the starmaker's use of off-duty L.A.P.D. cops and Mob ties to scare off Hudson's blackmailers; Hudson's "arranged" marriage to Willson's secretary, Phyllis Gates; as well as Hudson's affair with a Universal Pictures vice-president to help secure starring roles in Magnificent Obsession and Giant. Additionally, the book digs into Willson's other star clients, including Robert Wagner, Troy Donahue, Tab Hunter, and John Derek.

This was an eye opening read. I knew about the infamous casting couch for actresses but this really shed a light on the debauchery of how agent's procured talent and what the young hopefuls had to do to get into films. I remember from my childhood, Tab Hunter, Troy Donahue and all the Chads, Vans, etc from movies and television shows of the time. Who would of thought how many of them really got where they were and the dignity they gave away to get there. Sure, some like Rock Hudson were not innocent and knew the game. But how many others coming from fatherless backgrounds trusted Willson and allowed him to do whatever with them because fame is such an aphrodisiac. Arrogance in Hollywood still goes on today. How many still sell their soul to make it into the celebrity pool? Power and money doesn't make the famous happy. So many of them succumbed to alcohol and drug addiction, even today. Bad behavior and arrogance is maybe just more transparent, nowadays. Actors today are actually, in my opinion, less talented than actors of past decades. At least I went to the movies in the sixties. These days movies stink. But, I really don't feel sorry for Willson, Rock, Troy or any of these people who had everything and threw it away. I enjoyed this book.
