While John Chambers, Tony Mendez, and Lester Siegel are trying to figure out how to make their fake movie project look plausible, Siegel recalls that he made a movie once with Rock Hudson, and from that, draws the conclusion that if you want people to believe a lie, you should have the media disseminate it for you. This seeming non sequitur is a reference to the fact that Hudson, one of the biggest Hollywood stars and sex symbols of the 1950s, was secretly gay, and his agent, Henry Willson, actively fed misinformation about Hudson's "girlfriends" (really studio-arranged dates for publicity only) to the mainstream media. When the gossip tabloid "Confidential" threatened to expose Hudson's homosexuality, Willson instead fed them then-scandalous information about two of the less-famous stars on his roster - Rory Calhoun and Tab Hunter - and arranged a sham marriage between his secretary Phyllis Gates and Hudson. Hudson's homosexuality was not widely known outside of Hollywood until his death in 1985.
