Quite scarce vintage 8x10-inch matte-finish black and white profile portrait, boldly signed and inscribed in red felt-tip pen in the late 1960s. In fine condition, with small corner pin holes, not affecting the image. A rare AUTHENTIC example-- not one of the secretarials so commonly encountered on the market. Nicknamed "Mr. Beefcake", improbably good-looking Rock Hudson earned an Oscar nod for Giant in 1956, and was also memorable in Magnificent Obsession (1954), All That Heaven Allows (1955), Written on a Wind (1956), A Farewell to Arms (1957), Pillow Talk (1959), Come September (1961), Lover Come Back (1961), Send Me No Flowers (1964), and McMilland & Wife (1971). He died tragically of A.I.D.S. in 1985, aged only 59 years.
