A longtime companion of William Holden said today that she and the late actor had planned to be married New Year's Eve in Africa while on a vacation to his beloved Mount Kenya Safari Club.
Patricia Morgan Stauffer, 48, said in a telephone interview that she and Holden were planning to leave Dec. 13 for Africa....
"Bill and I have spent most of this year together," Mrs. Stauffer said.
"We met on New Year's in 1964 and spent 10 years together, and then started seeing each other again about two years ago.
We always enjoyed each other's companionship."........
"I belive her because he had always been in love with her," said Jay Bernstein, Holden's former publicist.
