Remember
Added 2023-06-11 12:12:51 +0000 UTCI imagine how he re-read the letters, looked at the photos and cried... the trembling hand barely holds the letter, the wind snatches the sheets, and his tears flow. The memory of the lost love is still alive, and what he did not dream of at the time happened. Millions of people around the world have learned about this secret relationship and have paid tribute. Love is love.

"Lee Garlington, who dated movie idol Rock Hudson in the '60s, regrets that they couldn't live openly as gay men.
Lee Garlington keeps the photos in an antique mahogany box, memories of another era and a love long ago. “We couldn’t take any pictures together, it was too dangerous,” says Garlington, who dated movie idol Rock Hudson in the mid-’60s. “We could only take pictures of each other.”
Back then, Hudson was one of Hollywood’s top box office stars. Effortlessly handsome and 6’4″, he was a leading man straight out of central casting — but had to keep his sexuality a secret from the public. Garlington, a handsome stockbroker, was the man with whom he fell in love."
It was only after Hudson’s death that Garlington learned from a biography that Hudson had called him his one ‘true love.”
“I broke down and cried,” says Garlington. “He said his mother and I were the only people he ever loved. I had no idea I meant that much to him.”
