William Holden Hollywood Stars, Hollywood Men, Hollywood Icons, Hollywood Legends, Golden Age Of ...

William Holden (1977) | Tv actors, Holden, Classic hollywood    
 William Franklin Holden (Beedle Jr.)  
(April 17, 1918 – November 12, 1981)

William Holden was one of the biggest box-office draws of the
1950s. He won the
Academy Award for Best Actor for the film
Stalag 17 (1953) and the
Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding
Lead Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie
for the
television miniseries The Blue Knight (1973).

Holden starred in some of Hollywood’s most popular and critically acclaimed films, including Sunset Boulevard (1950), Sabrina
(1954), Picnic (1955), The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957), The
Wild Bunch
(1969) and Network (1976).

According to the Los Angeles County Coroner’s autopsy report,
Holden bled to death in his apartment in Santa Monica, California,
on November 12, 1981, after lacerating his forehead by slipping
on a rug while intoxicated and hitting a bedside table.

Forensic evidence recovered at the scene suggested that he was conscious for at least half an hour after the fall. His body was
found four days later. Rumors existed that he was suffering from
lung cancer, which Holden had denied at a 1980 press conference.

His death certificate makes no mention of cancer

Megan Leavey (41) is a US Marine corporal who served as a Military
Police K9 handler. She was paired with
military working dog Rex
(E168). The pair served two deployments in
Iraq together.

They were first deployed to Fallujah in 2005, and then to Ramadi
in 2006, where they were both wounded by an
improvised explosive device. Leavey was awarded the Purple Heart and the Navy and
Marine Corps Achievement Medal
with a "V" device denoting
heroism in combat.

In 2012, Rex developed facial palsy, which ended his bomb-
sniffing duties. Leavey was able to adopt him through the
intervention of Senator
Chuck Schumer
, around April 2012.  
   

While living with Leavey, Rex died of old age on December 22,
2012.
