Willy Holt (30 November 1921 – 22 June 2007) was a French and American production designer, art director and actor who lived in France for many years.

[1][2] Willy Holt was born in Quincy, Florida, in 1921, the son of an American military photographer and his French wife.

[8] Holt wrote about his wartime experiences in his 1995 book Femmes en deuil sur camion.

His set designs for several television shows led to further work in cinema, initially as an art director.

[10] As befitted his Franco-American origins, Holt worked on several productions in both countries, collaborating with a number of internationally renowned film directors such as John Frankenheimer, Stanley Donen, Otto Preminger, Robert Parrish, Fred Zinnemann, Bertrand Blier, Woody Allen, Michael Ritchie, Louis Malle and Roman Polanski.
