Gloria Holden's ONLY child Christopher Hoyt died in a car crash in 1970-TWO YEARS before Laurie Holden was born!
Laurie Holden's late father Marvin called himself 'Larry Holden'. He was in no way related to Gloria Holden!
The way they have allowed this misrepresentation to continue is deplorable!
Gloria Holden had NO grandchildren!
