Reel Cowboys of the Santa Susanas -- Tim Holt

Tim Holt (1919 – 1973) was an American film actor and B-Western cowboy star who is probably best known for his role in the The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948).

Tim Holt followed in the boot steps of his famous cowboy-actor dad Jack Holt who appeared in hundreds of Westerns over the years.  Young Holt broke into film in the 1930s, and went on the star in his own series of B-Western films during the 1940s and 1950s.  One of his best early roles was that of a young cavalry officer in John Ford's Stagecoach (1939).  His sister, Jennifer Holt, also became a leading star in Western film genre.

He was a decorated combat veteran in World War II, flying in the Pacific Theatre with the United States Army Air Force as a B-29 bombardier.
