Doctor Who & Carry On star Julian Holloway’s will revealed with his supermodel daughter getting just a fraction of eye-watering sum
DOCTOR Who star Julian Holloway’s will has been revealed with his supermodel daughter receiving just a fraction of the whopping sum.
Holloway, who died aged 80 in February, had £493,917 to his name at the end of his life – which was reduced to £480,891 after deductions.
Documents have now revealed he left £25,000 each to daughter Sophie Dahl and stepdaughter Kate Gregory.
The actor and voice over artist left the bulk of his near £500k fortune to his stepson Joel Gregory, documents reveal.
Sophie was born from a brief relationship Julian had with Tessa Dahl in 1976, the daughter of actress Patricia Neal and author Roald Dahl.
Joel was also appointed as the will’s administrator.
He stated in his will that he wanted his ashes scattered at Lords Cricket Ground in London or Sudbrooke Park Golf Club in Surrey.
Julian was born in Watlington, Oxfordshire, on 24 June, 1944, and was educated at Ludgrove School, Harrow School, and later the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA).
He began his career in 1961, featuring in an episode of The Avengers, before his first major acting role as Quentin in the 1962-63 television season of Our Man Higgins – he played this character in four episodes.
Julian gained fame after featuring in eight Carry On films between 1967 and 1976 as well as one of the Carry On Christmas TV specials.
He also played a leading role in the Doctor Who serial Survival, which was the last story of the show’s original 26-year run.
Following this, he featured in an episode of police drama The Sweeney and had performances in a range of other shows.
The star developed a reputation as a successful voice actor, primarily in the US, and later performed as Captain Zed in Captain Zed and the Zee Zone.
Julian’s voice featured in 55 of the 65 episodes of James Bond Jr., an animated American show based on the James Bond franchise.
He also voiced Siegfried Fischbacher in 2004’s Father of the Pride, and Prime Minister Almec in several episodes of the long running show Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
His prowess in vocal artistry could also be seen in video game performances, including for Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End and Medal of Honor: European Assault.
Julian also provided the voice of Death in the popular animated series Regular Show for six seasons.
Julian had married actress Zena Walker in 1971 but they divorced shortly afterwards.
He had then met and married fellow voice over artist and actress Debbie Wheeler in 1991, but this ended in divorce five years later.
The star’s final performance came as Prime Minister Almec in a 2020 episode of Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
Daughter Sophie’s first novel, The Man with the Dancing Eyes, was published in 2003 and was followed by Playing With the Grown-ups in 2007.
She has since gone on to release a number of cookery books as well as children’s books.
