Bonus video! The mysteries and lies of Hollywood's most notorious agent

Well hello there! I've got a great big hour-long video about Rock Hudson coming your way next week, but in the mean time here's a video about his incredible agent -- the notorious Henry Willson, one of the sleaziest creeps in Hollywood history. Henry's specialty was representing unbelievably handsome men (and taking advantage of them) and he's one of those homosexuals you might hear about on the Bad Gays podcast because he was, truly, a very bad man. That's not to say he wasn't also a victim of difficult times himself -- but he's one of those gays who endured a lot of terrible homophobia, and then instead of trying to tear it down, he decided to wield homophobia himself as a weapon. His life is a real roller-coaster of fascinating lies, and if there's any moral to be learned, I think it's that it is crucial that we all do what we can to stop bigotry from being used as a cudgel against others. And if that's too heavy a topic, fear not -- I also have a fun video clip of Rock Hudson singing about drugs with Bea Arthur! You can watch the full thing here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KB__tQKPwI And I hope you'll join us this afternoon for a watch-along of one of my favorite movies, His Girl Friday -- a rom-com palette cleanser after some of the rougher films we watched last week! http://twitch.tv/mattbaume
