Jeff Kern: I don't believe Rock Hudson has liver cancer.

Rock Hudson was a famous actor who appeared in several movies, mainly in the 1950's and 60's. After many denials and close to death he finally admitted he was dying of AIDS, and perished due to AIDS-related complications in 1985. After his death, his long-time partner successfully sued the estate, revealing the fact that Hudson had hidden his homosexuality for most of his career. Rock Hudson was the first major public figure to acknowledge publicly that he had AIDS. (edit) Det. Valens: This ain't Pottery Barn.

Pottery Barn is a furniture store that was founded in 1949 and known for its high-quality products. (edit) Title: It's Raining Men

The AIDS Quilt is a memorial for people who have died of AIDS and HIV related causes. It has about 46,000 panels which contain the names of more 80,000 AIDS victims. (edit)
