The Star and the Singer

Celeste Holm is an American stage, film, and television actress, known for her Academy Award-winning performance in Gentleman's Agreement (1947), as well as for her Oscar-nominated performances in Come to the Stable (1949) and All About Eve (1950). She was married to Ralph Nelson (1938-1939), Francis Davies (m. 1940), A. Schuyler Dunning (m. 1946) and Wesley Addy (1961-1996). On April 29, 2004, her 87th birthday, Holm married opera singer Frank Basile.

Frank studied at the College of Music at Indiana University in the early 1980s. He traveled abroad to study in Germany during the end of that same decade. He went on to join the singing sergeants with the U.S. Air Force, made his way to Utah for some music projects and eventually landed in New York City.
