FAQs
William Gary Busey (/ˈbjuːsi/; born June 29, 1944) is an American actor. He portrayed Buddy Holly in The Buddy Holly Story (1978), for which he was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor and won the National Society of Film Critics Award for Best Actor.
His real breakthrough came in the dynamic film The Buddy Holly Story (1978), with Busey taking the lead role as Buddy Holly, in addition to playing guitar and singing all the vocals! His stellar performance scored him a Best Actor nomination and the attention of Hollywood taking overcasting agents.
The actors did their own singing and played their own instruments, with guitarist Jerry Zaremba overdubbing the guitar parts. Busey, in particular, was noted for recording the soundtrack music live and for losing a considerable amount of weight in order to portray the skinny Holly.
While some details may be dramatized for storytelling purposes, the movie provides a reasonably accurate portrayal of key events in Holly's life and his impact on rock and roll music. However, as with many biopics, there are likely some liberties taken for cinematic effect.
John Lennon was a fan of Buddy Holly and once said he remembered one of his songs better than his own. In 1975, John Lennon released Rock 'n' Roll, his sixth solo album and the final album he recorded during his “Lost Weekend”.
