"Aging can be an inescapable process. I surely wouldn't want to increase younger. The older you become, the more you know; your money of knowledge is much richer". - William Holden Inside the 1940s, the films were filled with strong, intimidating men who had a abrasive style adored by female screen individuals and moviegoers similarly. Unlike their European counterparts, the changing subgenres of the American leading man begun to include individuals with iconic quirks on the whole appearance, speech and humor, as an alternative to the strong, understated, and sometimes reluctant "man of the individuals". It was William Holden who became America's first choice among films requiring a timid, cynical, and sexually effective "broken hero" on the display, less thoughtful, perhaps, than Gregory Peck, and less rigid than Gary Cooper. Perhaps Holden's many unwilling heroes filmed more than a 40 year profession were along with the fact that Holden was much like them, an acting professional who was uneasy on the collection and terrified of display intimacy, on certain situations requiring lengthy alcoholic binges to complete a few of the steamier love displays and sexualized dances with co-stars such as Kim Novak, Audrey Hepburn, and Grace Kelly.
