A New York accounting firm executive has been appointed special administrator to handle Rock Hudson’s estate pending filing of the actor’s will. Papers filed in Los Angeles Superior Court said no person had been authorized to care for Hudson’s assets, including stock shares with “values extremely volatile,” and requested that Wallace Sheft be named. According to the court document, Sheft is named in Hudson’s will as executor and trustee of a trust the actor set up in 1974.
