:14:04
People used to say to her, "Use
your hands more. Move a little more."
:14:09
She didn't quite have the confidence
to do that.
:14:12
She had had that MGM training
where nothing moves...
:14:15
where you're just beautiful,
but you're very still.
:14:18
There was Elizabeth and there was Rock.
I think Rock felt...
:14:21
that was the best work
he'd ever done by far.
:14:24
I loved Rock Hudson.
I loved him as a person.
:14:27
He was a delicious human being,
kind, thoughtful...
:14:31
conscientious about his fellow workers.
:14:33
I used to visit the set occasionally
when he was working.
:14:37
I knew Rock, not well. I always liked him.
:14:40
But I thought, "Thank you, God."
:14:42
He's finally getting the opportunity
to share the talent he's always had...
:14:47
but never had the proper words,
script or lyrics to share with the public...
:14:52
to show them what he was
really capable of doing.
:14:54
I thank God that George Stevens saw that
in him and gave him that chance...
:14:59
because I think it's the best film
he ever did.
:15:02
I loved him.
:15:04
I followed him around like a puppy.
:15:07
I worshipped that man.
:15:09
And so I saw...
:15:12
perhaps a little more
than maybe other people did.
:15:17
He was handsome and sensuous...
:15:20
and marvelous as the young man.
:15:23
And then I thought he really excelled...
:15:26
as the elder man.
I thought he did a wonderful job.
:15:30
He was inspired by the part,
inspired by George Stevens.
:15:33
I thought he did a wonderful job.
:15:35
Toward the end of the movie, when he had
to wear the extra weight and padding...
:15:40
everything showed in the long underwear!
:15:43
But he'd do the Charleston and everything,
just for my home movies...
:15:47
which was very different
than his character on-screen...
:15:50
as Bick Benedict,
whom he played in Giant.
:15:54
Rock Hudson was 28 years old
and hadn't played very demanding roles.
:15:59
It was early in his career.
