Here is the list of all William Holden movies.

William Holden was an American actor who was born on April 17, 1918, in O'Fallon, Illinois. He began his career in Hollywood in the 1930s, but it was not until the late 1940s and early 1950s that he achieved major stardom.

Holden's breakthrough role came in 1950 with the film "Sunset Boulevard," in which he played a struggling screenwriter caught up in the delusions of a former silent movie star. The role earned him his first Academy Award nomination and established him as one of the leading actors of his generation.

Holden went on to star in many classic films, including "Stalag 17" (1953), for which he won the Academy Award for Best Actor, "The Bridge on the River Kwai" (1957), "The Wild Bunch" (1969), and "Network" (1976). He was known for his understated acting style and his ability to convey complex emotions with a subtle gesture or expression.

Holden's personal life was marked by tragedy and struggle. He was married twice and had several high-profile relationships, including one with actress Audrey Hepburn. He also struggled with alcoholism throughout his life and was involved in a serious car accident in 1981 that left him with multiple injuries.

Holden died on November 12, 1981, at the age of 63, from a fall in his home that was caused by a combination of alcohol and medication. Despite his struggles, Holden is remembered as one of Hollywood's most talented and beloved actors, whose contributions to film will not be forgotten.
