"The Strange Voyage of the Lady Dee" - CBS Radio Mystery Theater - November 18, 1974
While on a boat trip, a young couple and their daughter become lost in the dense fog. The spirit of a woman lures them to a strange island whose sole inhabitant proves to have questionable motives.
Today is the 96th birthday of the legendary screen heartthrob Rock Hudson. I once read a recount of how he got his gravely voice. He was told by movie executives to go up into the mountains and scream until he lost his voice, this damaged his vocal cords in a way that left him with the very low voice he had for his entire career. I am not sure if it is true, but it is crazy to think that someone would tell a person to do that. With his legendary good looks and impressive resume of film credits behind him, he publicly announced he had AIDS to the world and took it from being a fringe disease that no one personally knew who had it to being on the cover of People Magazine. The bravery at the end of his life is an example of true strength of character. He propelled the image of AIDS mainstream, we all now knew someone with it, it became immediately personal for all of us. The world is a better place because he was in it and still feels the loss that he has left.
