Holder acted on Broadway and in films. Holder also won Tony awards, for Costume Design and Direction. Holder wrote two books, one on folklore and one on Caribbean cuisine. In the 1970s and 1980s, he put his striking 6'6" presence and bass voice to good use as the spokesman for 7-Up. Holder died in 2014. [Art: 18" H x 10 1/4" W; Frame: 19 1/2" H x 11 1/2" W].
