I certainly am, thank you very much for sharing.

Rock Hudson was a leading man until the end of his long career, escorting Hollywood and international stars, as he did with Elizabeth Taylor in The mirror crack’d. A classic film star whose legacy should be celebrated.

Seconds might be Rock Hudson’s best dramatic performance. He crudely conveyed excitement, exuberance (the orgiastic wine-pressing scene, the drunken house party), bitter dissapointment (his scene with his “widow” is top-shelf acting) and fear, far from his charming persona.

I first saw Rock Hudson in Come September and found him a very good comedian, effortlessly sympathetic and with great timing. His dance scene with Gina Lollobrigida is hilarious. Star quality.

Rock Hudson’s charm was at its peak in Pillow talk: killer looks, effortless sex-appeal, perfect timing, his chemistry with Doris Day lighten up the screen and redifined sex-war comedies.

From young, proud Texas cattle rancher, to weary, desillusioned family man, Rock Hudson nailed every segment of his character’s wide dramatic arch in Giant. His performance suited the epic dimension of the drama.

Rock Hudson toned down his charm to play the embittered geologist, hopelessly in love with his best friend’s wife, in Written on the wind. He was great at conveying anger, despair and jealousy.

Ron Kirby was great as the kind, down to earth arborist in love with a suburban New England widow in Douglas Sirk’s masterpiece All that heaven allows. His love for simple life felt very organic.

Where eagles dare is my favorite of Richard Burton’s several WWII films. Playfully adventurous, he seemed to be enjoying his heroic turn as the Major in charge of a suicide mission. An actor for the ages.

Crude, violent, boozy, Who’s afraid of Virginia Woolf? felt like and emotional strip-tease by Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor. A brave, fascinating dissection of marital life at its most toxic.

My favorite Richard Burton performance is the unglamorous spy in The spy who came in from the cold. From bitter, disillusioned ego-maniac to desperately heroic lover, he nailed every segment of his character’s wide dramatic arch.

I guess The Sandpiper qualifies as guilty pleasure so I plead guilty of charge. Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor at the height of their love affair and star power are simply irresistible.

Vulnerable, beaten down, degraded, Richard Burton was great as the drunk reverend in The night of the iguana. He excelled at depicting vulnerability, constantly on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

Richard Burton’s distinctive gaze didn’t just channel tempestuousness, but also deep spirituality. He was great at embodying his character’s moral dilemmas in Becket.

Richard Burton had a rather erratic filmography, but his talent and intense personality found its way, no matter how conventional the film. For example, his scene with Maggie Smith is what I love the most about The V.I.P.s

Thanks!
