Rock Hudson marked fifteen years in film with box office strength in 1950s power status. He ranked third in last year’s top ten attractions behind John Wayne and Doris Day, despite years of public doubt about his staying power. Hudson, once Roy Fitzgerald, rose from a walk-on at Warner Brothers to contract star at Universal and runs his own production company.
