Holden was born in Chicago, Illinois on October 24, 1936.[7][8] Prior to appearing in film she had studied drama with singer and actress Lillian Roth, and appeared on stage.[9] She also had a brief modelling career before being cast in Jailhouse Rock.[1][10] The film was Holden's debut; after auditioning for the role at MGM in May 1956, she was selected immediately.[11] Holden stated that whilst making the film in 1957, co-star Elvis Presley took her on a date, to a drag race, and a tour of Hollywood stars' homes. Off set, Elvis made advances towards her, which she resisted. He also confided in her about his anxiety of a potential draft into the army, which would have jeopardised his film career.[2]
After her film career, Holden became a rock-and-roll singer.[2][12]
