Casting Director Claims She Had Sex With Brady Bunch’s Rock Hudson And Robert Reed

Renowned casting director Joel Thurm claims he had sexual encounters with movie icon Rock Hudson and The Brady Bunch’s Robert Reed.

Thurm, who is known for his casting decisions on movies like Grease and TV shows like The Golden Girls, describes in his new memoir, ‘Sex, Drugs & Pilot Season: Confessions of a Casting Director,’ how he got along with the two. stars. .

The now 80-year-old man said page six how she ultimately failed to meet Hudson at a 1970s sex party, but the Pillow Talk star understood the situation.

He was most successful, he said, when he tried to calm Reed down on the set of a John Travolta made-for-television movie.

He describes the encounters in his new memoir, Sex, Drugs & Pilot Season: Confessions of a Casting Director.

Thurm recounted how he attended an industry party in the 1970s, at which most of the attendees were secretly gay.

They had met to watch one of his first full-length gay porn movies called Boys in the Sand, when he said that his childhood crush, Rock Hudson, invited him to follow him into a room.

But once they were alone, Thurm said he “couldn’t do it” for Hudson.

“I was embarrassed and mortified, lifting him was one of my specialties,” the legendary casting director told Page Six.

‘I couldn’t do it because he was Rock Hudson! He intimidated me so much.

‘Someone said, ‘Well, why didn’t you suck it?’ I told him: “Because I too… I couldn’t do anything.”

Fortunately, Thurm said the star, who died of AIDS in 1985, understood the botched sexual encounter because “it had happened to him before.”

Thurm said he was at an industry party in the 1970s with many gay men when Rock Hudson (pictured in 1951) motioned for him to follow him into a bedroom.

Thurm said that Hudson (pictured in 1975) was very understanding when he “couldn’t get up.”

Thurm would have more success years later when he was trying to comfort Robert Reed on the set of his 1976 TV movie The Boy in the Plastic Bubble.

Reed is best known for his role as father Mike Brady, opposite Carol Brady’s role of Florence Henderson, on the ABC television sitcom The Brady Bunch, which ran from 1969 to 1974.

Thurm would find more success a few years later when he was casting and producing the 1976 TV movie The Boy in the Plastic Bubble, which starred a young John Travolta.

He claims that Reed, who co-starred in the film, was upset that he wasn’t the lead, and was particularly upset that he had to curl and uncoil his hair in one day.

Thurm said he went to Reed’s locker room to help him calm down.

‘It was known [that Reed was gay]’ Thurm said. But I didn’t go in there with that intention.

“I went in there with the intention of just [saying]”Hey, thanks for putting up with what we have to do.”

‘And then, I don’t know, I started rubbing his back. I thought, “Well, that’s what you do in a situation like that.”

“I had no intention of anything more than that,” says Thurm. But he seemed to respond.

However, after the encounter, Thurm said, Reed “went back to being the same little jerk he was before.”

Reed would die in 1992 at the age of 59 after being diagnosed with colon cancer. It was later revealed that he was HIV positive.
