Yet she found work on television, acting in many anthology programs, such as The Lux Video Theater and General Electric Theater in the mid 1950s and taking a recurring role in ABC's Further Adventures of Spin and Marty in 1956, a component of The Mickey Mouse Club. Holden had a brief first marriage to songwriter Arnold Stanford that proved turbulent, ending with their divorce in November 1955. |
