NO ONE KNEW
THE REAL WILLIAM HOLDEN.
NOT EVEN WILLIAM HOLDEN.
A god in the Hollywood heavens, he claimed acting was undignified. Handsome, athletic, he was plagued by anxiety. Idolized by millions--he died alone.

This is the story of William Holden's fascinating life, torrid loves, international adventures...and his valiant combat against his personal demons. It is the tragic story of a man who embodies--and was destroyed by--the Hollywood Dream.

"Touching account of Holden's life, loves, and films...from the ledge-hanging daredevil and insecure Oscar-winner to the dedicated wildlife preservationist..." --Publishers Weekly
