Highly regarded American actor (1918–1981) who won the 1954 Academy Award for Best Actor in Stalag 17. Vintage pearl-finish 9.5 x 8 photo of Holden with a group of fellow soldiers during World War II, signed below his image in fountain pen, “Corp. Bill Holden.” Eight other soldiers also signed near their image. In fine condition, with slight brushing and irregular adhesion to a few of the other soldiers’ signatures. 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.
