− | "Henry Willson became the first agent to be accepted into the Motion Picture Home in Woodland Hills, California. At age 67, he died there in 1976, and since he had been admitted as a charity case, there was money for a Styrofoam coffin and a plot at Valhalla Cemetery in the San Fernando Valley but not a tombstone. In the end, the man who named Rock Hudson as well as Lana Turner, Guy Madison, Rhonda Fleming, Rory Calhoun, Tab Hunter, John Saxon, Troy Donahue and Chad Everett has no name on his own grave." | + | "Henry Willson became the first agent to be accepted into the Motion Picture Home in Woodland Hills, California.
