Judd Holdren(1915-1974)

In the role of Commando Cody, Judd Holdren patrolled America's threatened skies after actors Tristram Coffin and George Wallace hung up their flying suits.

Holdren played the airborne hero in "Zombies of the Stratosphere" and also in "Commando Cody, Sky Marshal of the Universe", which was shown theatrically as well as on TV. Holdren acted in films from the late '40s through the '50s, then gave up the business and began making his living in the insurance business. He died in 1974.
