In the late forties and early fifties I was a kid growing up in Bloomington, Indiana, the home of Indiana University. From the early forties to the early fifties, he was exactly that: at his home studio of RKO Radio Pictures he was one of the biggest stars in B westerns. He’d say, ‘I’m going to be a western star some day’” (Rothel, 1994: 215). He’d walk up and down the hall in his bathrobe and practice drawing his guns. Budd Boetticher, one of his classmates at the Culver Military Academy in the thirties and later a director, recalled to David Rothel that Holt “used to walk around in our suite of rooms there…and he often had on his ’38 revolvers and holster. He never became a major star in A pictures, but that was because he preferred his day job. Holt appeared in Stagecoach (1939, as a cavalry officer), The Magnificent Amberson (1942, as Georgie Minifer), My Darling Clementine (1946, as Virgil Earp), and The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948, as one of the three prospectors).
#TIM HOLT CHEETO MOVIE#
Several movie stars appeared on the actors list: Bogart, Wayne, Grant, Fonda, but one name was unexpected: Tim Holt. Many years ago, before you could do such things instantaneously on a computer, one film buff made up lists of actors who appeared in what he considered great films. Holt died on 15 November 2022, at the age of 79.By Tom Stempel Volume 17, issue 11 / November 2013 35 minutes (8701 words) He was also the 2003 recipient of the Waksberg Prize in survey methodology. Holt was appointed a Companion of the Order of the Bath (CB) in the 2000 New Year Honours. In 1990 he was elected as a Fellow of the American Statistical Association. He carried out consultancy work for the United Nations, the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank and was elected president of the Royal Statistical Society in 2005. Holt returned to the Department of Social Statistics at Southampton in 2000, working part-time as Professor of Social Statistics. He was President of the Labour Statistics Congress ( ILO) in 1997 and vice-chair of the United Nations Statistical Commission from 1998 to 1999. Holt became the Director of the Central Statistical Office and Head of the Government Statistical Service in 1995 and, subsequently, the first Director of the Office for National Statistics when it was formed on 1 April 1996 from the merger of the Central Statistical Office (CSO) and the Office of Population Censuses and Surveys (OPCS). From 1989 to 1991, he was also vice-president of the International Association of Survey Statisticians (IASS). He was Leverhulme Professor of Social Statistics from 1980 to 1995 and Deputy Vice-Chancellor from 1990 to 1995. Holt's first job was with Statistics Canada, the national statistics office of Canada, where he spent four years before joining the Department of Social Statistics at the University of Southampton in 1980. He took a particular interest, through his membership of the Royal Statistical Society, in the independence of national statistics from government. Throughout his career, his main interests have been survey methods, sampling theory and official statistics. Holt took a maths degree and a PhD in statistics at Exeter with thesis titled Some contributions to the statistical analysis of single and mixed exponential distributions in 1970. He had been the president of the Royal Statistical Society (2005–2007), the last director of the Central Statistical Office of the United Kingdom, and the first director of the Office for National Statistics (and ex-officio Registrar General).
