Stage, screen and television actor Hal Holbrook, born Harold Rowe Holbrook, Jr. in 1925, shot to fame with his one-man show, Mark Twain Tonight!, which debuted on Broadway in 1966 and won him the Tony Award for Best Actor in a Play (Holbrook, who was just 29 years of age when he first starred in the play, would bring the play back to Broadway in 1977 and 2005). His fame enabled him to flourish as a starring actor in numerous non-Twain projects, such as The Group (1966), Wild in the Streets (1968), Magnum Force (1973), The Star Chamber (1987), Wall Street (1987), The Firm (1993) and The Majestic (2001). In 1976, Holbrook was Oscar-nominated for his character, "Deep Throat", in All the President's Men. A multi-Emmy winner, he has appeared on a number of TV shows, including in recurring roles on Designing Women (as Reese Watson, 1986-1989) and Evening Shade (as Evan Evans, 1990-1994), and recent turns in such series as The West Wing (2001-2002) and Navy NCIS: Naval Criminal Investigative Service (2006). Holbrook has also starred in a number of made-for-TV movies, including a recurring role as Wild Bill McKenzie in several Perry Mason outings. He has been married to actress Dixie Carter since 1984. Slightly creased at blank margins. Minor surface creases (not evident head on). Fine condition.
