That's the one where Lucy burns the tip of her nose (it's wax or something.)<br /><br />I liked Holden in the early westerns. Loved his blond hair and he always looked as if he were having fun.<br /><br />It's all later when it changed for him, I think.<br /><br />He aged rapidly, that's for sure.<br /><br />Sad.Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6924668268143757716.post-74743094829539889672011-07-15T11:33:04.966-04:002011-07-15T11:33:04.966-04:00Wonderful look back at William Holden's films....Wonderful look back at William Holden's films. My favorite William Holden films are: Rachel and the Stranger (1948)a western film starring Loretta Young, William Holden, and Robert Mitchum and Sunset Boulevard(1950).Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03476174860119487509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6924668268143757716.post-34106785669604934882011-07-15T09:02:56.141-04:002011-07-15T09:02:56.141-04:00Wow, I don't think I would have recognized Hol...Wow, I don't think I would have recognized Holden in Golden Boy! He did seem to be at his peak (looks-wise) in the Lucy episode.

My favourite part is when he rests his chin on the partition between his and Lucy's tables. And then when she fixes her "nose" back at her house.

It served him particularly well in Sunset Boulevard, and in my mind, provided the saving grace for his slightly-too-old-for-the-role casting in "Picnic." Wonderful actor.

He looks about ninety in the last photo.<br /><br />I know this won't be on anyone's list of must sees, but he was absolutely gorgeous in an 'I Love Lucy' episode.<br /><br />Okay, laugh you film lovers. But, he was just beautiful.<br /><br />Oh, and a good actor.Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00903678715925613725noreply@blogger.com
