Holder says he enjoys learning things from people he talks to rather than having them ask questions about Hollywood and what will happen in his movies. "I'm very shy," he says with his bass-drum voice, a voice that is rivaled only by James Earl Jones. "With an audience I have iored with birthd; Carl H.

At dinner, Holder occasionally chatted with guests and even honored a few requests to "say something in your deep voice." He didn't seem to notice the stares or "oohs" and "ahhs" of his dinner guests. "I like to greet people and say, ay celebration The Rev. Phillip R. Cousin Jr. of St. James AME Church spoke at the program. Others honoring Russell included Mayor Wayne Corpening, Eunice Ayers, Patrick Hairston, Mazie Woodruff and William Henry Andrews.

Difference creates exchange, and exchange makes life exciting." It was Americans' curiosity in people, says Holder, that helped him get started in the entertainment industry. "Americans are curious," he says. "They say, 'Hi, what's your name? What do you do? How much do you make?' but because people were so curious, I was able to make great contacts in the business." A native of Trinidad, Holder came to America in 1953 with his brother's dance troupe and was able to get work on Broadway. He appeared in the stage version of Truman Capote's short story "House of Flowers," and it was during that time that he met his wife, ballet dancer Carmen de Lavallade. "My wife is a gorgeous woman," Holder says of his wife of 30 years. "1 saw her, asked her to marry me, and she said 'yes'... two years later." Holder holds nothing back in his one-man show and confidently relies on his spectrum of talents to crpnt** a hioVi-*??#*! ?*/ -W W. w VIIVI^J pvi IUI " mance. He is at one moment a dancer, with the grace of Fred Astaire, the next a New York bag lady, and then a hurried cab driver in the city. Holder is convincing in his roles, and this he credits to his fascination with people. 4'I am constantly borrowing images and gestures from real TW tall*. 768*9200 Shop Monday to / Saturday 10 to 9:30; i Sunday 1 to 6 < The Chronicle, Thu people.

Dressed smartly in an all-white leisure suit perfectly tailored to his large frame, Holder says, "It is fascinating to see people walk. 1 love to watch people walk. As performers, we must always be aware of details." Probably best known as "the 7-(Jp man" from television commercials, conversations with Holder seem to naturally include the obvious inquiries about his soft drink testimonial. "You expected me ^o have a 7-Up glass in my hand, I am sure," says Holder. "Seven-Up is wonderful, and I cry all the way to the bank." Holder's trademark hearty iaugn is genuine, and he uses it often in conversation. He says his work on commercial television was "tough and very competitive." A versatile man, Holder is by no means limited to work in TV commercials. Called a "Renaissance man" by Esquire magazine, Holder is an * acP YEAR-END i AND FANTl ALL 1985 S f...

Add to this list his writing feats and culinary skills, and you get a very wellrounded, creative talent. His directing and costume designing in "The Wiz" netted Holder two Tony Awards. He was also the director and ? - ? cnureograpner ol the Broadway musical "Timbuktu." His recent film credits include "Annie" and the James Bond adventure "Live and Let Die." Holder has made previous visits to Winston-Salem and says, "1 love this place. I have lovely friends here." Included among his local friends is poet Maya Angelou, whom Holder calls "a pillar in Winston-Salem." There is sincerity in Holder's voice as he speaks of the poet. "You people are lucky to have Maya here. She is a beautiful woman, he says. "Maya is life. We go back to 1957. She is an inspiration to me, and I'm glad she's here." The 55-year-old Holder says he "loves living, really living" and says people should "get out and have fun. Let's just have a ball." CLOSEOUT PRICES ISTIC FINANCING ON iENTRAS...
