Stalag 17 in 1953, but my favorite William Holden film is a toss-up between
Sunset Boulevard and
The Bridge on the River Kwai. My wife Gigi’s favorites are a bit more on the romantic side:
Sabrina and
Picnic. Of course, there is
Network, which is as contemporary today as when it was first released in 1976. All in all, to say the beloved actor had a magnificent career is quite an understatement.
When I photographed Holden with his partner, actress Stephanie Powers, at home near Los Angeles, they were very much in love. They were more interested in talking about their work in Africa for the conservation of endangered wildlife than in talking about the movies.
