James Stewart was ‘so upset’ by Rock Hudson after Bend of the River they never spoke again

James Stewart and Rock Hudson were two of Hollywood's biggest stars during the Golden Age of Tinseltown. Yet they never worked again after what happened following the filming of Bend of the River.

From the outbreak of the Second World War, James Stewart was hitting the big time. He received his first of five Oscar nominations for 1939’s Mr Smith Goes To Washington, before winning the Best Actor gong a year later for The Philadelphia Story. As the US entered the conflict in Europe, the Hollywood star enlisted in the Army Air Forces before returning for his first postwar role as George Bailey in 1946’s It’s A Wonderful Life, earning himself another Academy Award nod. But at the start of the next decade the star was desperate to change teh direction of his career and the type of roles he was playing.
