Suit claims Hudson concealed illness from lover, American Bar Association Journal, June 1, 1986, at 40. Christian is being represented by attorney Marvin Michelson, best known for his prosecution of the notorious “palimony” case against actor Lee Marvin. The suit acknowledges that as yet, Christian has not been diagnosed as having been infected with the AIDS virus. The complaint merely asserts that “[i]t is probable that claimant has contracted AIDS from Hudson.”Google Scholar
