Born Charles Holt in Los Angeles on February 5, 1919 (some sources indicate 1918), western star Tim Holt was the son of silent screen actor
Jack Holt. Spending a lot of time on movie sets as a child, it was natural for Tim Holt to become a movie star. Following his parents'
separation in the early 1930s, Holt was sent to a military boarding school. Upon graduation, Holt returned to Hollywood and had little
trouble entering films. He had been in one of his father's films, The Vanishing Pioneer (1928), as a child. But at the age of
18, he was cast in a plum role in the popular drama Stella Dallas (1937; with Barbara Stanwyck and Anne Shirley). Holt then
freelanced in supporting roles in the dramas I Met My Love Again (1938; with Joan Bennett and
Henry Fonda) and Gold Is Where You Find It (1938; with George Brent), and Sons of the Legion (1938; with Evelyn Keyes).
However, he quickly found meatier roles in such sagebrushers as RKO's The Renegade Ranger (1938; with
George O'Brien and Rita Hayworth) and Stagecoach (1939; with John Wayne). In 1940, when
George O'Brien walked away from RKO, the studio hired Holt for a series of modestly budgeted westerns
starting with Wagon Train (1940; with Ray Whitley). As RKO's B westerns were a cut above that of the smaller studios such as
Republic and Columbia, Holt soon proved to be popular with western film audiences. His sister, actress Jennifer Holt, also appeared
in dozens of westerns in the 1940s.
Married at 19 and a father at 20, a steady film contract was important to the young actor whose first two marriages were brief.
However, with the onset of World War II, Holt entered the U.S. Army Air Corps and became a B-29 bombardier, flying a number of missions
over the Pacific and putting his acting career on hold for more than three years. Before entering the service, he appeared in several
non-western roles, including impressive performances in the dramas Back Street (1941; with Charles Boyer); Orson Welles' The
Magnificent Ambersons (1942; with Joseph Cotten and Anne Baxter); and the successful wartime curiosity Hitler's Children
(1943; with Bonita Granville). Following the war, Holt returned to RKO and B westerns, but gave his best performances while on loan-out
to 20th Century-Fox in My Darling Clementine (1946; with Henry Fonda) and in the Warner Bros. western adventure The Treasure of
the Sierra Madre (1948; with Humphrey Bogart and Bruce Bennett).
