Open-mouthed kissing, the old "French kiss," in the past 15 years or so became common not only in movies but also in television dramas. Actors did not give the subject much thought until it came out last summer that Rock Hudson had given Linda Evans a passionate kiss on Dynasty when he knew he had AIDS...
