5.0 out of 5 stars Underrated Actor, December 31, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Golden Boy (Paperback)
William Holden is one of the most underrated actors of Hollywood. Evidence by far is that this is the only book on his life. The book is a heartfelt tribute to what appears to be a caring, thoughtful and professional actor who always remembered the ensemble of people who helped him reach stardom. It is also a very sad tale of a person who never overcame his demons and was finally killed by them. His life and career were cut short and it is our loss.

This review is from: Golden Boy (Paperback)
Holden was such a great actor, but a poor family man. Alcohol is the demon here.
