Holbrook’s legacy
Born Harold Rowe Holbrook Jr. in Cleaveland, he was a great dancer and had a knack for acting from his early years. Having been abandoned by their parents at the age of two, Hal and his sisters lived with their grandparents, and he later graduated from Culver Military Academy. He even served as a soldier in World War 2 and later went on to pursue the path of acting. Holbrook’s big break came through in 1967 when ‘Mark Twain Tonight’ in which he played the lead role, was telecasted on Xerox and CBS, and he even received an Emmy Award for the same. Hal is now survived by son David Holbrook and daughters Victoria and Eve Holbrook.
