At age 14, Holt largely turned his back on acting in favor of songwriting and poetry. Attempting to return to acting in 1948, he found few parts available, and ended up starring in the 1949 cheap drugs-scare melodrama "She Shoulda Said 'No'!". By the early 1950s, the parts had dried up and Holt returned to song writing.

Over the years Holt employed many apprentices and strappers who lived in the outbuildings on the property. "Usually he had a dozen boys under his care. Each lad who joined his establishment was required to open a savings bank account into which he had to pay the bulk of his wages. If one of the lads wanted to withdraw any money, he first had to convince "The Boss" that he would not fritter the money away, and then give an undertaking that he would withdraw only the amount stated..." Cavanough (1962:16)

Jack Holt designed the Streaker in 1975 when stitch and glue construction was the latest thing in dinghy building. This method allowed many thousands of people to build boats without having to be expert woodworkers, or have special tools.

Eugene Gorman, a friend, described Jack Holt in the foreword of Cavanough's book as "a countryman, simple, hospitable and gay with a limited circle of friends but without social aspirations. respected by all who went racing and his truthful but tactful advice on his horses' chances was a joy to witness. He hated cruelty in any form and maltreatment of animals aroused him to anger."
