William Holden Talks Trophy Hunting and Animal Conservation | The Dick Cavett Show

[@iammatik]

William Holden is one of greatest actors in the golden age of Hollywood cinema.

[@Talulah6]

He was beautiful and had a good soul.

[@Talita444]

Thank you so much for this. I am a huge William Holden fan, and hearing him talk about wildlife conservation, his greatest passion, is amazing.

[@wizkidsvideos]

Holden did so much in saving wildlife and his organization continues to save animals. A great actor and an even greater humanitarian. Thanks for sharing this episode. ❤️❤️❤️

[@scotnick59]

Bill was so great in "Sunset Boulevard": his voice was pure gold

[@fifthbusiness1678]

I’d no idea William Holden was so intelligent and articulate. Odd, for an actor (sorry, actors out there). I really admire him for his honest and real dedication to animal conservation

[@jimmyb1559]

I think we all can agree what a pleasure it is to watch two people carry out an intelligent conversation about an interesting subject without insults or any other kind of vulgarity. Why can't we seem to do that anymore? Thank you for the video. Always been a fan of William Holden, Thank you.

@ Jimmy b Simply you have 2 human species with 2 different distinct Ideologies! Think of it as 2 aliens of different worlds at war with each other that's why! Physiologically the same ideologically wise distinctly different that's why!

[@margaretlouiseable]

They were much classier times. Dang it I miss how it was. Holden is a God and a good person. LOVE HIM.

[@equine2020]

His compassion for wildlife was remarkable. He worked to protect them. He's so right. Hunters kill off the best. He was a great actor, & so handsome.

[@terrytro7171]

Love William Holden. Thanks for posting this video.

Great to see William Holden interviewed. I hope the rest of his appearance will be uploaded.

DID you know he wasn't even considered for the role until everyone else said no? in fact, Montgomery Clift had agreed to do the movie but backed out at the last minute....

And Picnic

[@renan.csmaia]

He was a great man!!

[@elizabethgalligan1805]

This is such a good interview. Two classy guys 👍

[@patricias5122]

What a great man, debunking the hunters' claim that their fees actually contribute to wildlife preservation. B.S. He was so ahead of his time, calling out how hunters always chose the strongest, biggest game to shoot, weakening the whole herd .

[@narellecox8480]

Thank you for sharing this. I am a huge Bill Holden fan. He had so much passion for conservation, a man ahead of his time. He was fabulous in Network.

[@margaretlouiseable]

Network. He was so great in that. I am totally obsessed with him you know in a good way. That was the TRUTH. We're living through it now. He was super smart subtle and wise. There IS no better combo in a human. Blessings to you.

[@narellecox2028]

@@margaretlouiseable Yes agree totally, well articulated. Sincerely

[@margaretlouiseable]

@@bethelle9099 I'm still obsessedwith him. The men of that generation were perfect.

[@margaretlouiseable]

@@bethelle9099 He was gorgeous!!! Dimples are my weakness too. I don't know about him but they all came from farms. The nutrition was top notch and they still had mothers and 3 meals a day. My people were in Central Texas the past 150 years. They were extremely fit and sports oriented. My Father was a WW2 veteran who trained pilots here in the US but still managed to lose all his best friends. They were MEN!

[@bacchuslax7967]

Geez. Stalag 17. Towering Inferno. Sabrina. Devils Brigade. Bridge over River Kwai. Network. And an episode on ‘I Love Lucy’. An icon.

[@JSB1882]

Bill Holden was such a decent man and a great actor.

[@mtshasta4195]

Network is one of all time favorite films! Holden was masterful!

[@YourFunkLord]

Well said William.

Finally! Thank you for sharing this. But I hope you share the rest of it.

[@gazwillz3225]

William always looked Older than his Years!!!

[@ncooty]

The real tragedy of trophy hunting in countries with poor governance is that (a) the fees are completely mismanaged and (b) the permitting process is corrupted to maximize the number of permits given. It's an extractive industry wrapped in corruption.

[@JohnnyCardinale]

Class act.

[@MilesBellas]

The information is still relevant.

[@truthseekeralways7050]

Rest in Peace Rest in Heaven Rest in Power William Holden ❤️🌱🕊️💞

[@ricoz2016]

The part @ 07:45 when telling the story of the hunter is an example of what Bill Holden was- thoughtful, macho but unafraid to think things through and see them for what they really were. He just couldn't give himself a break.

[@Buffaloc]

When I was about ten years old my seventeen year old cousin saw 'Picnic' five times in one week. I asked her why and she said 'William Holden'.

[@bethelle9099]

Love it!!!!!!!! 💖😄😄💖

[@blaineholsonbake3613]

Sad ending for this wonderful actor

[@petermaxwell2965]

Wow, the man was ahead of his time , they are still shooting animals !

[@DrCrabfingers]

I love people who love nature....have compassion and empathy....people who kill for fun can just eff off into some dark realm...

[@maximilian2974]

William Holden was an amazing person. He's my favorite actor and that he was so ahead of his time concerning animal conservation is wonderful to see. Humans killing animals for sport should be in jail. It's disgusting.

[@66smithra]

The survival of entire communities in places like Africa are dependent on trophy hunting. Get real. People have been doing it for millennia.

[@lorrainechandler7864]

Thanks for sharing.💙

[@jagdishacharya1438]

Whatever controversial issues involving my idol William Holden, I just adore him, sorry to learn he died alone like a wild life,

[@margaretlouiseable]

He was drunk and probably thought he was bullit proof. It broke my heart.

[@truthseekeralways7050]

He was Not Alone GOD Almighty was With Him

[@jessmurray5463]

The jello ad break was a hilarious interlude.

[@zombidanzmagazine3532]

The last sentence of this segment : "It's pathetic". Sums it up quite nicely.

[@johnmehaffey9953]

A true real man and I'd loved to have hung out with him even though I couldn't have kept up with him and great to see he was one of the first ones to protect the animals, personally I'd have the death penalty on poachers and trophy hunters should be jailed and I agree with Holden that they need culled at times

[@7spadefish7]

Imagine , being able to go on a talk show and give your opinion on a controversial subject and not be driven to ruin by the press…What a novel idea.

[@markdempsey8622]

Read 'Shooting an Elephant', George Orwell. Then think.

If anything, he knows his field. Knows the rules and has a rationale. Right or wrong, at least he’s fully informed, experienced, and has an educated position.

[@michaelg.golden7327]

He was a big conservationist with his Kenyan park. One heck of an actor who died too soon as a result of his drinking.

[@Gannooch]

I have nothing against the other celebs that were on this show but is this channel ever going to show the Dick Cavett shows where he interviews Jackie Gleason or Art Carney? How about any Honeymooners actors that were part of the main cast? These are rare much like all of the other Dick Cavett interviews

[@kathleenlowy9699]

what would Bill think today...when it’s so much worse...does anyone care...or will a collective human shrug continue? their extinction- will bring ours.

[@cadilacdesert]

I have all of Peter's books

[@TheTsar1918]

Trophy hunters and poachers alike need to be, in turn, hunted with high powered rifles.

[@julianmarsh1378]

Feed trophy hunters and poachers to the lions....

[@HoldenNY22]

I'm a Vegetarian. I do think it is sick to go Hunting for Sport. Since, it is much healthier to be a Vegetarian- people I know who claim it is OK that they hung animals because they eat them are also doing. Holden mentioned he didn't HUnt anymore, but he didn't mention he was a Vegetariian either. I don't think being a Vegetariian was as a big a thing in the 1970's when this Video was filmed than it is now.

Remarkable actor but look at the discussion on the “ preservation of animals “, particularly in Africa .

[@r0ckbass]

Trophy hunters are the biggest kind of coward. Completely pathetic.

[@SUPERSTROKE333]

could not agree more!

[@somethingyousaid5059]

I suppose that it makes them feel like real men. I suppose that they're trying to compensate for whatever inadequacies they perceive in themselves. I'm no psychologist though, so I don't know.

[@percival7754]

it’s occured to you it’s not entirely free from consequences? and not so much about the high from the knowledge of killing a large animal, which happens all the time and wouldn’t last very long, as the experience around it? and that you’re not nature’s great judge to denounce historically practiced things from worlds you don’t understand? i could say the same about mountain climbing exchanging the endangerment of the animal for that of a human, but who am i to, i’ve never looked into it

[@carlamohor3566]

Handsome, effortless actor, articulate, how can you go wrong with him? I appreciate his thoughts on hunting. Hunters are just a bunch of cowards, just like toreros: since they weren't born with any skill or gift, they must used innocents to show off.

How naive some of the suggestions are. Controlled hunted regulated by the government that earns hard foreign currency = corrupt government expands the hunt and expands the hunt ... Always look at where the incentive is. Hunting is pathetic.

Decades of drug abuse are evident in his face.Shame his life was shortened by alcohol.

[@bethelle9099]

Was he a drug user besides booze?

[@elenacue4911]

Never read that William Holden used any drugs at all. It was the alcohol that destroyed him. It was sad the way his life ended.

[@jeffreyking279]

His thoughts on big game hunting are flawed. Trophy hunting takes a specimen at its peak which is one step from serious decline. Taking only the best allows the immature to live and eventually become the best.
