Born in Illinois on April 19, 1918, William Holden played his first starring role in Golden Boy (1939) [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and he always credited his co-star Barbara Stanwyck as saving his acting career. Later, like many of the male stars of Hollywood, Holden interrupted his filmmaking by serving during World War II, returning to appearing in Hollywood films in 1947, even starring in a movie about a returning army officer, Dear Ruth (1947).
Gable married five times. His third wife, Carole Lombard is said to have been the love of his life, but they were on the brink of divorce at the time of her early death. In 1935, an affair with former co-star Loretta Young resulted in the secret birth of his biological daughter Judy Lewis. Gable’s only legitimate child was born after his death in 1960.
Holden was married to former actress Brenda Marshall from 1941 until they divorced in 1971. The couple had two sons, Peter and Scott, and the 1952 wedding of their friends Nancy and Ronald Reagan took place at the Holden home, Bill Holden even serving as the best man. Although married for thirty years, Holden had several affairs including an often mentioned relationship with Audrey Hepburn. In 1972, he began a relationship with actress Stefanie Powers, who after his death in 1981, began the William Holden Wildlife Foundation in his honor of his long working for wildlife conservation.
