Two reasons to revive interest in Rock Hudson in 2010: If he had not died of AIDS 25 years ago, it would have been his 85th birthday in November 2010. The film will be revealing a gay star doing a secret balancing act between the heterosexual world of an obviously very male looking star and the dark side of forbidden sexuality as a closeted gay. In fact someone who always needed to tell lies. Was he also lying to himself? German title: ROCK HUDSON – SCHOENER FREMDER MANN

Doris Day, the most successful female box office star in the history of Hollywood, has written cinema history by simply playing Little Miss Average. She is still amongst us and celebrated her 85th birthday in 2009. Although she has not appeared in public for over thirty years, Doris Day is considered to be a cultural icon of the 20th and 21st century. The documentary will reflect the turbulent and successful life of Doris Day with extracts and trailers from some of her many feature films and TV appearances, in order to reveal the foibles and characteristics of her real life against the background of her screen and music life. A playful and tongue-in-cheek study of the fairytale career of Doris Day.
