As a singer, actress, and entertainer, Rebecca Holden’s appearances have amassed a fan club with members from around the globe. Television viewers all over the world are familiar with Rebecca as the computer whiz (and KITT’s mechanic) on the NBC series “Knight Rider”, which still appears in syndication in most major markets throughout the U.S. and in over 200 foreign countries and which has been chosen by Universal Studios to be its first 4K boxed set release — including a documentary in which Rebecca is featured.

Her fan base expanded to include soap opera fans throughout the world from her role as the diabolical Elena on ABC’s “General Hospital” and from countless guest-starring roles on prime time shows such as “Magnum P.I.”, “Love Boat”, “Three’s Company”, “Taxi”, “Night Court”, “Mike Hammer”, “Remington Steele”, “Matt Houston”, “Barney Miller”, and many others. Her movies have appeared at the Cannes Film Festival, as well as festivals in Manila and Japan. Her lead role in the feature film “Canaanland” won her a Best Acting Award from the Malibu Film Festival. She also brought home Best Actress awards from the Wild Bunch Western Film Festival for her role in “Was Once a Hero” and for her role in the Vietnamese film “Book of Death” at the Los Angeles Tribune International Film Festival.

Classically trained in voice and piano, Rebecca excels in diverse musical genres, from opera to pop to big band. She has performed lead roles in musical theater, recorded a Country album for Curb Records and a gospel album for BMG Records in Switzerland, touring internationally all over Europe and the Far East — even performing for the King of Malaysia. She had the honor of being the featured performer with the United States Air Force Band at a memorial for WWII veterans for which the President was the guest speaker. During her service as president of the Music City Christian Fellowship, she performed as singer and mistress of ceremonies for the Christian Country Music Awards and the Sunday gospel shows at the Grand Ole Opry.

First discovered by a top talent agent while continuing her voice studies in New York, she became one of New York’s top models, landing the prestigious title of The Breck Girl, which led to magazine covers and countless national commercials such as Ivory Soap, Dentyne, Kellogg’s, Gillette, Arrid and Chevrolet — and ultimately a major television and film career in Los Angeles.

She serves as Mistress of Ceremonies, Performer and Speaker for many Charitable, Corporate, Church, Military, Sports & Political Events, and is in demand for her rendition of the National Anthem. Rebecca is committed to spreading her message that “Dreams Come True”, and she continues to uplift humanity through her service and her music.

Giving Back

Her charitable work includes Toys for Tots, Feed the Children, Special Olympics, the Music in the Schools program, and Habitat for Humanity. She has served on the board for “Operation California”, participating in airlifts of medical aid to Ethiopia, as well as performing for “Live Aid” and “Farm Aid” at Texas Stadium along with Willie Nelson. Appointed honorary Mayor of Universal City by MCA Chairman Lew Wasserman, Rebecca served as goodwill ambassador to local and foreign dignitaries. Recent events include the American Legion for Families of Military Support, the Kids of Honor Gala, the Celebrity Center Christmas Celebration, the United Nations Humanitarian Summit, We Care For Humanity, YWCA Rhapsody Gala, Ventura Animal Rescue Benefit, Family Film Awards, and the Soulsational Wellness Festival. She is the recipient of the “Edwin P. Hubble Humanitarian Award”, has performed for “Operation Gratitude” and the “Get Together Foundation”, and is a board member of the Butterfly Foundation, for which she recorded the theme song.

What Critics Say

“

Rebecca Holden … delivers the most supercharged rendition of ‘As Long as He Needs Me’ imaginable.

The Tennessean

Oliver — as Nancy

“

And then it happens. Rebecca Holden steps on the stage and sings Nancy’s hymn to doomed love and you feel your eyebrows singed by the heat of her awesome commitment. Holden nails the song with her rich voice, and — far more important — she acts it to the hilt.

Kevin Nance, The Tennessean

Oliver — as Nancy

“

This is the most thrilling performance that you’ll ever hear in a theater production.

Kevin Nance, Theatre Critic — Nashville Scene

Damn Yankees — as Lola

“

She’s always prepared, always ready to go. And there’s absolutely no diva-esque behavior at all. She works so hard, and is always the last person to leave rehearsal. I wish I could clone her.

Jeff Ellis, Theatre Director — Nashville Scene

Damn Yankees — as Lola

“

The play belongs to … Holden. Holden impeccably gives the play its necessary antagonistic catalyst as cool-as-a-cucumber Joanne, through whom truths must inevitably be acknowledged.
