About Tim Holt

Charles John "Tim" Holt III (February 5, 1919 – February 15, 1973) was an American actor. He was a popular Western star during the 1940s and early 1950s, appearing in forty-six B westerns released by RKO Pictures. In a career spanning more than four decades, Holt is best remembered for his roles in the films The Magnificent Ambersons (1942), My Darling Clementine (1946) and The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948). RKO gave Holt his first lead in the B-film The Rookie Cop. His first sidekick was Ray Whitley, who was slightly older than Holt, and who would usually sing a song or two in each film. He was wounded over Tokyo on the last day of the war and was awarded a Purple Heart.
