Who co-starred with Doris Day in "Pillow Talk"?

"Pillow Talk" is a 1959 Oscar-winning romantic comedy film in CinemaScope directed by Michael Gordon. It stars Rock Hudson and Doris Day.

"Pillow Talk" tells the story of Jan Marrow (Day), an interior decorator and Brad Allen (Hudson), a womanizing composer/bachelor, both of whom share a telephone party line. When she unsuccessfully files a complaint on him for constantly using the line to woo his conquests, Brad decides to take a chance on Jan by masquerading as a Texas rancher, resulting in the two falling in love. The scheme seems to work until Brad's mutual friend and Jan's client Jonathan Forbes (Tony Randall) finds out about this, causing a love triangle in the process.

He put a face to the then early AIDs crisis--she stood by him and this forced all of America to begin a discussion about this awful disease. He had been forced to fake heterosexuality given the terrible stigma associated with "it" from the 50s (and probably in some circles, even today). He had a brief marriage, probably to forestall public knowledge of his actual identity. He was a great actor, also.

Mary Conway, Phobia is not an illness. It is extreme fear. Just thought you needed that cleared up. Secondly, can you please explain why you think anyone would choose to be gay? I have several close friends and family who are gay and without exception, even though they are now happy, well adjusted, and accept themselves, say they would never choose to be gay. I wonder if you have ever looked at a woman and was attracted to her? No? Well that is how it is with gay men. I have never looked at a woman and thought I needed to date her. Same for Gay men. Oh, look at that, I have something in common with gay men. Mary, can you change the size of your ears? The length of your toes? How about the color of your skin? You were born that way? So were Gay men and women. Oh, look, you have things in common with Gays as well. Let me guess... You are a fine Christian woman who follows the bible? You really want to face GOD at the gate and let him know you have been doing his job, you know, the job of judging others? Knowing that he created EVERY living thing on earth but you are going to point out his mistakes? And for those of you who read this and don't believe in GOD, I know you have your opinion but please let's save that debate for another time. This post is at least give Mary something to think about.

klmilles, No. He lied about it until he was forced to acknowledge he was dying. He was sued by several of the men he had unprotected sex with, and his estate paid three of them. He put fact to the knowledge that most people don't need to worry about AIDS, it is in fact a homosexual disease.

Ray Farley, she can have her own opinion and I can have my opinion about her opinion.

Kay Eicher, The reason is that this country still has far too many fearful and ignorant people who would rather hate gays than recognize them as fellow human beings and support the work it has taken to find treatments that work for the scourge of AIDS.

Ray Farley, Conway's "opinion" is nothing but fearful bigoted hate speech, just like kayefloyd's.

kayefloyd, You don't know what you're talking about, just like most small-minded bigots. Being gay is not a choice, but being homophobic definitely is. I feel sorry for you, given that you have chosen to be so virulently anti-gay. Since when is it up to you to judge other people's sexual preferences? Gay people are human beings just like everyone else and have every right to be treated equally under the law. Your rant about them thinking they are above the law is nonsense, and just makes you look ignorant, nasty and narrow-minded.
