Hollywood’s Hidden Heroes: You Won’t Believe Which Celebrities Served in the Military!
Rock Hudson – Sergeant, U.S. Navy
Rock Hudson, the heartthrob of classic Hollywood, wasn’t just a pretty face on the silver screen. Before his stardom, Rock enlisted in the U.S. Navy during World War II, serving from 1944 to 1946. Picture him in his sailor’s uniform, stationed in the Philippines, far from the glitz of Hollywood.
He held the rank of an aircraft mechanic, but don’t let that fool you. This was Rock Hudson, a man destined for greatness. His time in the Navy might not have had the drama of his movies, but it certainly added a layer of depth to the matinee idol we all came to adore.
