description: "David Jack Holt was an American actor initially groomed at the age of seven to be the \"male Shirley Temple\". After several supporting roles as a juvenile actor in films during the 1930s–1940s, he experienced family stress and left acting by the time he was 25. He subsequently had success as a songwriter before his death in 2003 at age 76."
