Photoplay (Jul-Dec 1958)

the part of a doctor.” He felt better already. YYZhen Betty returned from Europe, she W hurried to her home before going to the hospital to see Rock. She wanted to unpack her bags and wrap the gifts she had bought for him: bright-colored argyle socks, a snazzy sweater, and a whole family of leprechaun figurines. On her doorstep were a dozen roses with the cryptic message: “Igor Follows.” She was still examining the card when Igor himself, Rock, walked over — crawled would be a better word! — like an injured crab. His shoulder was imprisoned in a heavy plaster cast. In his blue jeans, old sweater and moccasins, he looked to Betty like the main character out of a picture called, “Frankenstein Goes To College.” But shoulder or no shoulder, the injury didn’t interfere with Rock’s appetite. Over steaks, they talked. And finally, late in the evening, Rock got up to go. “Going to the studio tomorrow?” he asked. “Yes,” she answered. “Mind a passenger?” “Of course not,” she said. “Okay,” Rock said, “you’ve got one. Now that you’re home again, I’m going in to report for that picture.” And make it he did. Nurse Fortunata drove him to the studio each morning and took him home again each night. In a few days the shoulder cast came off; his recovery was amazingly rapid and he gave full credit to his “nurse.” And when the picture was finished and studio officials saw it, they were convinced that in Rock Hudson they had a super-star. So the order went out that Rock should escort a big name to the “Magnificent Obsession” premiere. This wasn’t unusual. All along, as his star was slowly rising in the movie heavens, he’d been forced to go on “publicity” dates with girls he didn’t know or didn’t like. But late at night, after a premiere or studio party which he attended with someone else, he’d drive up to Betty’s place and knock at the door. “How was it?” she’d ask. “Awful,” he’d answer. And he’d take off his formal jacket and loosen his black bow tie, and together they’d raid the refrigerator and talk ’til dawn. But this time, as he stood on the threshold of a great career, Rock balked. He wanted to be seen with the girl he really cared for, to share his triumph with her. “No,” he said to the studio big-wigs, “I refuse to make this a ‘publicity’ date. I’m taking Betty Abbott — and my mother. The two people who mean most in the world to me.” And the studio compromised. He could take Betty if she really dressed for the occasion. Rock had to tell all this to Betty — and it was the hardest thing he ever tried to do. He explained that the studio wardrobe was open to her, and she could borrow anything she needed. As usual, Betty helped him out. “Of course, I can’t buy a mink or a new gown for every important date with you,” she said. “Any dress I want from the wardrobe? So many to choose from. That’s swell.” Rock was learning — not only how to say “No” to people, but nicer things as well, like how to take a girl out in style. He and Betty had arranged to sit with Barbara Rush and Jeff Hunter at the premiere. So he asked Barbara to find out what color gown Betty would be wearing (it turned out to be powder blue) and then went to a florist and personally picked out an orchid to match her dress. At the time, Rock commented wryly, “A year or so ago even if I had wanted to send Betty or anyone orchids, I would have been too shy to do it and too afraid I’d pick out the wrong thing.” OPPORTUNITIES for EVERYBODY Publisher’s Classified Department (Trademark) For classified advertising rates, write to William R.
