Actor Rock Hudson died of AIDS on Oct. 2, 1985, a story that drew international attention. Hudson’s health woes became apparent earlier that year, leading to rumors and intense tabloid coverage.
The actor eventually confirmed that he had AIDS. His illness brought attention to AIDS, which in 1985 had only recently entered the public consciousness and was still the subject of much confusion and misinformation.
This is the original Eyewitness News report anchored by Roger Grimsby and Bill Beutel, and aired at 6 p.m., Oct. 2, 1985 on WABC-TV New York.
