Closer - 2.13.23 William Holden : The Women Who Tried to Save Him

With roles in Sabrina, Sunset Boulevard and an Oscar for Stalag 17, William Holden was among the hottest stars of the 1950s. But his good looks and deft movie work hid his secret insecurity and nerves so bad that he would drink alcohol for breakfast just to survive. Along the way, several of his costars including Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly fell for him but none could stop his slide.
