This April 17th is a pretty special day: the 100th birthday of William Holden! To honor this versatile and fascinating actor, for three days in April The Wonderful World of Cinema, The Flapper Dame, and I will be hosting the Third Golden Boy Blogathon: A William Holden Centenary Celebration!
In the past, the Golden Boy Blogathon has been hosted only by The Wonderful World of Cinema, but because this is such a special event, Virginie has kindly asked Emily and I to join the festivities and to help spread the word about this monumental occasion. After all, it's not every year William Holden turns 100!
The rules are as follows:
1) You can write about anything relating to Mr. Holden: his films, his relationships, his work in wildlife preservation...
2) However, we will only allow a maximum of two people per topic.
3) We also ask that you limit yourself to a maximum of two entries.
4) When you join, please give us the name of your blog, the URL, and your topic(s). You can comment here, on Virginie's blog, or on Emily's.
5) When sending us the link to your entry, please note that I'll be hosting on the 15th, Emily will host on the 16th, and Virginie will host on the 17th.
5) When sending us the link to your entry, please note that I'll be hosting on the 15th, Emily will host on the 16th, and Virginie will host on the 17th.
6) And finally, grab a banner, spread the word, and we'll see you in April!
