  He was my mother's cousin so naturally I gravitate to his and Jack Holt movies. I can't believe how much we look like him...he is very talented though.

• A western performer who could act.

• Wrong information on David Holt

  You made a mistake in your Tim Holt biography stating that David Holt, the child actor of the Thirties, was his brother. He didn't have a brother, only his sister, Jennifer (her real name was Elizabeth Marshall or "Betty" She changed her name to Jennifer after the heroine of a book she was reading.) I recall reading your biography on Tim in your magazine back when you were running his films. I wrote to you at that time and told you that you made a mistake. David Holt was born in Florida in 1936. He had a very short career. Please update your file on this as other researchers have a tendency to pick up information from your file without verifying its veracity. The Internet Movie Data Base is famous for this.

  TIM HOLT IS MY ALL TIME FAVORITE COWBOY ACTOR. I LOOK FOR TIM HOLT MOVIES AND WATCH OR RECORD WHEN I CANN'T VIEW FIRST HAND. WHY AREN'T MORE OF HIS MOVIES ON DVD?

• The Best of the B-Western Stars

  I became a fan of Tim Holt when I became a fan of B-Western movies. With the exception of the Magnificent Ambersons, you never saw him overplay a role. He acted like a guy who wasn't acting, which is pretty rare for actors from the 40's and 50's. Even Humphrey Bogart, from Treasure of Sierre Madre, could be considered a little corny by today's standards. In Treasure, Holt is the only actor in that movie that never overdoes the role. Because of that, he's the most enjoyable of the main actors and the most believable. The characters Holt plays in his Western movies is someone you root for and someone you'd like to know. He brings honesty and morality to the roles, and again, it comes off as believable. When you watch some of his better movies, such as Wagon Train, you'll want to see more of his work. No flash, no great, catchy lines. Just enjoyable acting from a good guy. And his westerns, low budget or not, were a lot of fun.

• TIM HOLT MOST UNDER APPRECIATED.

  TIM HOLT HAS THAT WIDE EYED BELIEF LOOK OF INNOCENCE, THAT IS USUALLY LOST IN HIS FELLOW MAN. HE HAS A SCREEN PRESENCE, THAT YOU FIND YOURSELF ROOTING FOR. WHEN HE IS ON SCREEN, HE ONLY ENHANCES THE PERFORMANCES OF HIS FELLOW ACTORS.
