"I kind of think he kind of figured it would get me into bed, and it did,"
"I'm the guy to do it because I'm out and I know you."
"It wasn't the prettiest one I'd ever seen, but it was the biggest,"
"He seduced the world, at least the world that I knew, by being so kind and attentive."
Armistead Maupin, 81, met Rock Hudson through Hudson's lover Jack Coates, with whom Maupin had been intimate. The pair encountered each other at a San Francisco social gathering where Hudson read the first chapter of Tales of the City, previously published in the San Francisco Chronicle. They hooked up that night, but Maupin initially felt intimidated; later encounters were more successful. Maupin described Hudson as a very sweet, kind, and attentive man who tried to help Maupin find a husband. Maupin recalled Hudson was closeted for much of his life and died of AIDS-related complications in 1985.
