William Holden got me really fucked up

Regular people: I love William Holden in so many things like Sabrina and in Paris When it Sizzles.

Me: I love William Holden in season 4 of I Love Lucy and one of his films in the 1970s where he’s like a bachelor fucking around with some college-aged girl.

I'm watching Breezy and the part where Kay Lenz is like "I like to watch you dress" and Bill replies "I like to watch you undress" makes internally scream

Southern California - “This is the part of a library of one of our universities. On these shelves are records of men’s experiences, expressions of their ideas, and the creations of their imagination. This is what we think of as literature. But we have a companion to the printed word: the motion picture. Just as a book can bring to the imaginative reader a broadening of his own limited experience, so can a film. The reader becomes a student of literature to increase his enjoyment from these books. The viewer can also increase his enjoyment of films studying some of the artistic effort that goes into the creation of a motion picture.”

On Seeing Film - One of a series on the evaluation of FILM - Film and Literature - Photographed During the Production of The Bridge On The River Kwai - Introduced by William Holden

“Wildlife is an echo of our own beginnings.” - William Holden

“He became the quintessential American hero, humanized. […] He was someone who I think we felt could have been in our home: our father, our lover, involved with us. […] He took this kind of heroic quality and made it accessible.” - Susan Strasberg

“I’m a pretty fair interpreter of a certain kind of contemporary character. I’m not a classic actor, dealing in tragedy. Most actors have a specific corridor, and within the limits of that corridor they travel the course of their career.”  - William Holden

“William Holden meant something very special to those of us who went to the movies regularly in the ‘50s and ‘60s. He 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 the 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

I thought my second semester of senior year was going to be a great time to relax and not care about my classes when really it's rushing to find an apartment and a JOB four weeks before graduating realizing that your already in debt as a 21 y/o who has literally done nothing in life but sit at a desk and stare at a PowerPoint screen.
