- <p> DAMAGES AWARDED. To Marc Christian, 35, Rock Hudson's lover:
- $14.5 million for the emotional distress he suffered because of
- the possibility that he could have contracted AIDS from the film
- star; in Los Angeles. A jury found that Hudson, who died in
- 1985, hid his AIDS diagnosis from Christian so he could continue
- the couple's two-year liaison. The jury also concluded that
- Hudson's secretary, Mark Miller, had acted with malice in
- failing to inform Christian that Hudson had the disease and
- awarded Christian an additional $7.25 million in punitive and
- exemplary damages. Christian has tested negative for AIDS.
