Phyllis Lucille Gates was an American secretary and interior decorator known for her three-year marriage to the actor Rock Hudson. The story of their marriage was depicted in the TV film Rock Hudson, starring Daphne Ashbrook as Gates and Thomas Ian Griffith as Hudson. Gates was born in Dawson and raised on a farm. Early in her life, she worked as a sales clerk in a department store, airline stewardess, secretary for a New York City talent agent, before moving to Hollywood to work for Hollywood talent agent Henry Willson, who represented actors Rock Hudson, Tab Hunter and Rory Calhoun. Gates met Rock Hudson in October 1954, they started dating some time and were married in Santa Barbara, California, on November 9, 1955, shortly after he finished filming Giant. Following a brief honeymoon in Jamaica, their marriage began to disintegrate, they separated in 1957, following rumors that Hudson had committed adultery while on location in Italy for the film A Farewell to Arms. The rumors were confirmed by a close friend of Gates's, who revealed to her that the individual Hudson had the affair with was a man.

The divorce was finalized in 1958. Gates became a successful interior decorator, she died from lung cancer at her home in Marina del Rey, aged 80. She was survived by brother Russell Gates. In her autobiography, published in 1987 after Hudson's 1985 death from AIDS, Gates wrote that she was in love with Hudson and that she did not know Hudson was gay when they married, was not complicit in his deception. However, the author and journalist Robert Hofler wrote in the documented biography The Man Who Invented Rock Hudson: "Those who knew her say she was a lesbian who tried to blackmail her movie star husband" or "She became addicted to being the wife of a star, didn't want the divorce Phyllis could play around with women, but Rock had to remain faithful to her. In a way, she was just being pragmatic: she feared that Rock's exposure would ruin his fame, in turn her gravy train." This was disputed by Gates in an interview with Larry King in which she seemed gullible. While she was aware that people in Hollywood were trying to protect Hudson's reputation by spreading lies about her, some of her answers didn't make sense.

At one point, she told King she still doesn't know if Rock Hudson was gay and claimed to'forget' that Hudson liked to dance ballet sans clothing. Gates acknowledged she had been the one to initiate the divorce based on her husband's behavior. Gates said, she never stopped loving him, he was the'love of her life'.

SS Canadian Mariner was a freighter built by Halifax Shipyards Ltd in 1920. She was the first steel ship built in Halifax and was used as a general cargo ship until she was sunk in the Pacific in 1942; the Canadian government commissioned the building of 63 ships in 1918 in an effort to start a crown funded shipping company, Canadian Government Merchant Marine Ltd. Canadian Mariner was built as the result of the two contracts awarded to Halifax Shipyards Ltd by the Canadian Government; the other contract was for SS Canadian Explorer. In 1928 management of Canadian Mariner was transferred from the failed Canadian Government Merchant Marine Ltd to Canadian National Steamship Company, which she steamed under until 1933 when she was sold to Dairen Kisen KK of Japan to be used as a general cargo and supply vessel for the Japanese occupied Pacific Islands under the name Choyo Maru.
