William Holden


...was 37-38 at the time of the movie but looks much older. Any thoughts?

reply

He was a heavy drinker. I don't know if he also smoked but one or both can really age you. His drinking indirectly killed him.

reply

He had a mature face not a baby face. His body was fit and he looked fine.

I saw three dusters...inside the dusters were three men, inside the men were three bullets.

Who shaved his chest????

reply

Nancy Reagan

reply

Well, yes.
According to Kitty Kelley, Miss Nancy was an expert at "shaving chests."!!!

. . . Still wondering what Kitty Kelley's expertise was in?

He always looked older than his age, look at him in Sunset Blvd, 31 but looked late 30s to me and late 40s to my mom.

Smoking and late hours.

If you think Bill looked old in Kwai, see him in Network, from 1976. He looked positively ancient there, though still handsome. In any case, Holden was a heavy drinker and smoker. He also spent a great deal of time in Africa without sun screen and of course, the sun ages a person. Whether Holden looked "old" in Kwai is a moot point. He was better looking than anyone else of that day and age, or anyone else in that film!
