Short Biography
Biography by Hans J. WollsteinA statuesque character actress onscreen from the late 1910s, Fay Holderness usually played spinsters but also turned up as a dance hall girl in Charles Chaplin's A Dog's Life (1918) and as the vamp-ish waitress in Erich Von Stroheim's Blind Husbands (1919). Long associated with slapstick factories such as L-Ko and Hal Roach, Holderness is today best remembered as Mrs. Hardy in the Laurel and Hardy comedy Hog Wild (1930). She was last spotted onscreen playing a bit part in The Mummy's Ghost (1944); she died from a cardiovascular disease at a sanatorium in Santa Monica, CA.
