My Take
Earl Holliman had the kind of career I find genuinely admirable, a true character actor who worked steadily across decades. Winning a Golden Globe for The Rainmaker in 1956 early on, then spending the 1950s and 1960s in Westerns and dramas, he built a reputation on reliability rather than flash. His four-year run as Sergeant Bill Crowley on Police Woman through the late 1970s is probably how most television viewers remember him. The Louisiana-born UCLA alum also stood out as an animal rights activist, which I think speaks to his character. He lived to 96, and that Hollywood Walk of Fame star feels well earned.
