Essential William Holden Films

Amazon.com
A reliable and boyishly handsome leading man in 1940s Hollywood, William Holden made an acclaimed breakthrough in 1950's Sunset Boulevard as a jaded screenwriter who plays gigolo to faded leading lady Gloria Swanson. An actor who worked hard and played hard, Holden's hunk-next-door persona belied his ability to pull off morally ambiguous and cynical roles. Frequently teaming with the legendary director Billy Wilder, Holden was the premier leading man of the late '50s, starring in gritty all-male war dramas (winning an Oscar for Stalag 17) and opposite the decade's greatest leading ladies--Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn, Kim Novak, and Jennifer Jones, to name a few. In later years he won praise for his performances as a grizzled outlaw in The Wild Bunch and a conflicted TV news exec in Network. He died in 1981 from complications after an accidental fall.
