Holm, Celeste (b. 1919), actress. The versatile, bright‐eyed blonde, a native New Yorker, made her professional debut in 1936 and later that year understudied Ophelia in Leslie
Howard's
Hamlet. However, her greatest fame came when she created the role of the irrepressible Ado Annie in
Oklahoma! (1943). Holm next starred in
Bloomer Girl (1944) but thereafter never seemed to be able to find major roles worthy of her. She did briefly replace Gertrude
Lawrence in
The King and I and later led a touring company of
Mame. Her other New York credits include
Candida (1970),
Habeas Corpus (1975), the one‐woman program
Paris Was Yesterday (1979),
I Hate Hamlet (1991), and
Don Juan in Hell (2000).
