Geocache Description:


Seven Hundred ThirtySecond in the Famous People (FP) Series - Phyllis Gates
Phyllis Lucille Gates (December 7, 1925 - January 4, 2006) was an American secretary and interior decorator notable for her three year marriage to the actor Rock Hudson.

She was born in Dawson, Minnesota and raised on a farm. She was employed as a secretary to the Hollywood talent agent, Henry Willson. In October 1954, the petite Ms. Gates met the handsome Hudson for the first time when he walked into Willson's office.

A few days later, Willson invited Ms. Gates to have drinks and dinner with him and Hudson. She did, and the next day, Hudson asked her out.

Soon, their budding romance was leaked to the news media, Hollywood Reporter columnist Mike Connolly colloquially noting that "Rock Hudson has been enjoying hideaway dinners with Henry Willson's purty secy, Phyllis Gates."

They were married in Santa Barbara on November 9, 1955, shortly after he finished filming Giant (1956).

Following a brief honeymoon in Jamaica, the marriage began to disintegrate. They separated following rumors that he had committed adultery while on location in Italy for the film A Farewell to Arms in 1957. This shiny bison tube is hidden along the side of the road, in a nice driveway, near a gate.
