This is the story of William Holden, a true leading man whose career spanned more than 40 years and included over 70 films and three Academy Award nominations. ‘Golden Holden’ won an Oscar for his role in
Stalag 17
and, after films like
Sunset Boulevard , he became one of Hollywood’s most powerful stars in the late 1950s. His personal life included international adventures and romances with such stars as Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly, yet he suffered from alcoholism and clinical depression. This biography covers his entire life and career, from boyhood through his greatest successes, short decline, re-emergence in
The Wild Bunch , and his legacy of support for African wildlife.
