Additional Details
Other Works:
Holden's radio appearances in the 40s and 50s included episodes of "The Lux Radio Theatre," "The Bob Hope Show," and "Suspense." Holden's appearance on "Suspense" on February 15, 1954 may be of keen interest to his fans because it was a science fiction program concerning a warning to mankind from an alien race-- an interesting change of pace for "everyman" leading man William Holden.
