Here’s Holden’s 1981 obituary from the Associated Press (Click to open Google News page in new tab):

William Holden 1981 obituary

Here’s a remembrance of Holden just after his passing that confuses him with the older actor of the same name from early talkies. Actually, we can blame The New York Times Directory of Film, because that’s who the writer cites. The actor that made those late ’20s-early ’30s films wasn’t a 10-year-old William Holden, but this actor, who died in 1932.

Here’s the earlier Holden’s obit, found in Variety, March 8, 1932, page 63:
