Phillips Holmes (July 22, 1907, Grand Rapids, Michigan - August 12, 1942, Ontario, Canada) was a movie star of the 1930s.

Son of stage star Taylor Holmes, Phillips enjoyed a privileged childhood and received his education at Princeton University, Trinity College[citation needed], and in Paris. Holmes made his screen debut in 1928. From there, he became a major star, although he was often typecast. After retiring, Holmes joined the Royal Canadian Air Force; he was in his early thirties when he was killed in a mid-air collision.[1]
