mattybing1025: [William Holden] began as a handsome juvenile but by the early ’50s he already seemed older than his years.  Maybe it wasn’t his appearance as much as his manner — intelligent, charming, terminally disenchanted and [this was the key] privately experiencing a sea of emotion beneath the surface.  It was often exciting to watch him playing a role — sometimes it was like a movie within a movie.  He sounded notes that no other actor could sound, in comedies and romantic melodramas, war pictures and westerns, no matter what the setting or the situation.  He was “hard-bitten,“ as people used to say, and urbane, and his elegant, ironic dialogue readings often had a musical lilt.  He was, in all ways, a remarkable star and actor, right up to the end. —Martin Scorsese -- source link
