Rock Hudson: The Complicated Life of a Legendary Hollywood Heartthrob
Divorcing His Wife
Only Rock Hudson, Phyllis Gates, and Henry Wilson would ever know the truth behind the actor’s marriage and secret personal life. Hudson was quoted in the past as saying that the greatest blessing in his life was his marriage to Gates. But after three years, Gates filed for divorce citing mental cruelty as the basis of their separation. Hudson did not challenge the claim or contest the divorce, so it was granted by the court, along with a weekly alimony of $250 for Gates for the period of 10 years. Sources revealed that apart from her alimony, she also received a lump sum of $3 million.
