Highly regarded American actor (1918–1981) who won the 1954 Academy Award for Best Actor in Stalag 17. Vintage matte-finish 9.5 x 8 photo of Holden during World War II, wearing his army uniform and sitting on a stoop, signed and inscribed in fountain pen, “To Tony—All my best—Bill Holden.” In fine condition. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from JSA. Consignor notes that this was originally obtained by his uncle, who served in the same unit as Holden. A unique, early photo of the actor during the war—an especially appropriate image, as his Oscar-winning role was as an American airman detained as a prisoner of war. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
