Legendary Hollywood publicist Dale Olson has died at age 78. Olson is best remembered as the publicist who guided Rock Hudson through the media firestorm that erupted when the '50s idol was at first rumored and then confirmed to have AIDS. He was also known for his fabulous parties and tireless work ethic, two things that, combined, helped Sally Kirkland receive a much-deserved nomination for Best Actress for her work in the film Anna.
