When Rock was dying of AIDS, at first many of his Hollywood friends publicly offered support and some even visited him at The Castle (his Hollywood home) but because of the stigma associated with HIV at the time, it didn't last and the visits became less and less. Elizabeth visited when he was close to death and saw Rock frail and alone in his bed because people were afraid to get close to him out of fear of catching HIV. She was heartbroken for Rock so she got into the bed with him and cuddled him so he would still feel loved.</blockquote>
