Rock Hudson and his boyfriend Lee Garlington in a candid snapshot taken in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico while they were on vacation in 1963. Rock, then 38, met Lee, 25, on the Universal Studios lot the year before where Lee was working as an extra in films. "He was the biggest movie star in the world, and the rumors were that he was gay," Lee stated in a 2015 interview with People magazine. "So I thought, 'Let me get an eye on him.' I stood outside his cottage on the Universal lot, pretending to read Variety, which was probably upside down at the time. He walked out and down the street. He looked back once. That was it." The pair started seeing each other shortly afterwards and went to great pains to hide their relationship. "Nobody in their right mind came out," Garlington explained. "It was career suicide. We all pretended to be straight. I'd come over after work, spend the night and leave the next morning. I'd sneak out at 6 a.m. in my Chevy Nova and coast down the street without turning on the engine so the neighbors wouldn't hear. We thought we were being so clever." After a female fan broke into Hudson's estate and slept in their bed while they were out of town, their paranoia about being outed increased. "In a drawer on a side table were pictures of me with no shirt on," Garlington said. "She didn't find them, but it shook him up. He realized he was vulnerable. He put gates on the house after that." Though they broke up in 1965, Garlington had lifelong fond memories of Hudson. "He was a sweetheart. I adored him. Rock had no pretense. He was always casual. He liked to wear chinos and moccasins around the house and hang around and watch television. We'd go on road trips and sometimes he wouldn't tell the studio where he was going." Following Rock's death from AIDS in 1985 at the age of 59, Garlington learned how much their relationship had meant to Hudson when his biographer, Sara Davidson, revealed he'd told her in his dying days that Lee was his "true love". Garlington recalled: "I broke down and cried. I just lost it. He said his mother and I were the only people he ever loved. I had no idea I meant that much to him."

Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon in costume as Josephine and Daphne in the United Artists/Billy Wilder comedy Some Like It Hot, 1959. During an interview with Entertainment Weekly in 2006, Curtis shared the following recollections about making the movie: EW: You weren’t happy with the dresses they initially gave you. TC: Oh, horrible! They put Debbie Reynolds’ clothes on me from a costume company. Her waist was up around my armpits! And they tried some Loretta Young outfits. But all her clothes wanted to do was spin around. So Billy said let Orry-Kelly make them for you. Boy, did we get excited! We had custom garter belts and brassieres, shoes that fit us properly, and nice cloche hats and those high collars that Olivia de Havilland used to wear in those early movies. Oh, did I love them! EW: You look like Eve Arden. TC: And a little bit of Grace Kelly and my mother. EW: How long did it take for you and Jack to become Josephine and Daphne? TC: About 30 minutes for makeup. Then we’d put on our hair and the costumes. We’d be ready in about an hour and 15 minutes. EW: That’s pretty fast. TC: Yeah, we wanted to get that behind us. Neither Jack nor I liked sitting in a makeup chair too long. So we’d lie back in those chairs and reach across and hold each other’s hand. We’d just hang on to each other.
