Happy Birthday, William Holden!

April 17, 1918 - ~~November 12, 1981~~ ∞

“Wildlife is an echo of our own beginnings.” - William Holden

“He became the quintessential American hero, humanized. […] He was someone who I think we felt could have been in our home: our father, our lover, involved with us. […] He took this kind of heroic quality and made it accessible.” - Susan Strasberg

“I’m a pretty fair interpreter of a certain kind of contemporary character. I’m not a classic actor, dealing in tragedy. Most actors have a specific corridor, and within the limits of that corridor they travel the course of their career.” - William Holden

“William Holden meant something very special to those of us who went to the movies regularly in the ‘50s and ‘60s. He began as a handsome juvenile but by the early ‘50s he already seemed older than his years. Maybe it wasn’t his appearance as much as his manner – intelligent, charming, terminally disenchanted and (this was the key) privately experiencing a sea of emotion beneath the surface. It was often exciting to watch him playing a role – sometimes it was like a movie within the movie. He sounded notes that no other actor could sound, in comedies and romantic melodramas, war pictures and westerns, no matter what the setting or the situation. He was “hard-bitten,” as people used to say, and urbane, and his elegant, ironic dialogue readings often had a musical lilt. He was, in all ways, a remarkable star and actor, right up to the end.” - Martin Scorsese

William Holden, 1950, the year he made Sunset Boulevard and Born Yesterday. It was his breakthrough year. Billy Wilder, who directed Sunset Boulevard, said of Holden: “Bill was a complex guy and a totally honorable friend. He was a genuine star. Every woman was in love with him.“

Happy Birthday, Juan García Esquivel (1918-2002)

The cover of Other Worlds, Other Sounds says it all–like the woman in red dancing on a moonscape, this 1958 long-player was all about fantasy. And Esquivel, the legendary Mexican conductor-arranger and forefather to the entire lounge and exotica renaissance of the mid ‘90s, wasn’t afraid to fantasize about his instrumentation nor the newfangled invention known as “stereophonic sound.” Essentially, this is an entire album of standards played in a beguine tempo with a percussive orchestra and a humming chorus, but–under Esquivel’s knob-twiddling fingers–the disc turns into magic. Voices ring back and forth between speakers, horns explode out of nowhere, and piano sounds cascade out of the stereo. This is what hi-fi was all about, and–though it was merely a precursor to the composer’s even stranger sonic experiments–it’s also one of his most cohesive albums. [Jason Verlinde]
