Sarah Douglas, who is best known for Ursa in Superman and Superman II said: "I lost a dear friend yesterday and I'm so, so sad. I have known Julian Holloway since the early 70's and he has been the best of friends to me all these years. Julian was the wittiest of men and we would laugh and laugh.

"He was a friend through thick and thin, first in London then LA then back home again. He was also the associate producer of the Brute (1977) but I had first met him professionally in 1973 on a drama called Secrets. There will be lots written about him and all his wonderful work but right now he is just a dear and sorely missed friend."

Stephanie Beacham commented: "Dear dear person, kind and funny. One day he entertained my grandson in his swimming pool while I had to make some calls and helped dress and feed same two year old. A friend. Rest in peace Julian. You will be missed."
