- 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.
