  William Holden - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Following this breakthrough film he played a series of roles that combined good looks with cynical detachment, including the prisoner of war entrepreneur in Stalag 17 (for which he won an Academy Award for Best Actor), the wandering braggard in Picnic and the ill-fated prisoner in The Bridge on the River Kwai.
He also played a number of sunnier roles in light comedy, such as the dashing architect in The Moon is Blue, the tutor in Born Yesterday and Humphrey Bogart's younger, playboy brother in Sabrina.
According to Suzanne Vega, Holden is the actor mentioned in the lyrics of her song "Tom's Diner" (and has said a story about his death was on the New York Post's front page the day she wrote it):

The "thin man" of the fat-thin duo, Laurel was often also the funnier member of the team, with a wide array of mannerisms that endeared him to film audiences, among them a babylike weep, a confused eye-blink, and a bewildered scratching of the top of the head.
