Marc Christian, the man who lived with Rock Hudson and became his lover in the final years of his life, has died from pulmonary problems at age 56. Christian did not know Hudson had AIDS until it was revealed on TV. The legendary star had told him his weight loss had been due to dieting. However, when complications forced Hudson to seek medical treatment in Paris, the truth came out. Christian was outraged that Hudson and his secretary had lied to him and placed his own health in danger. According to Christian, he and Hudson had continued to have sex even after Hudson was aware he was HIV positive, which in the mid 1980s generally meant a death sentence. After Hudson's death, a panicked Christian appealed to the star's estate to set aside funds to help him pay medical expenses if he developed AIDS. When the estate refused, Christian filed suit and was awarded millions in a settlement. Despite all of that, he still cherished the memory of his time with Hudson. Christian actually died in June, but his family only now announced his death. For more
