The actor starred in a string of huge movies, including All The President's Men, Magnum Force and Into The Wild.
His career spanned more than six decades and saw him nominated for an Oscar and a Tony Award, and pick up five Emmys.
He died on January 23 at his home in Beverly Hills, California.
His death was confirmed by his assistant, Joyce Cohen on Monday night.
Hal will also be remembered for his portrayal of 16th US President Abraham Lincoln in 1974 mini series Lincoln, which earned him one of his Emmy Awards.
Most recently, Hal had appeared in TV series Hawaii Five-0, Grey's Anatomy and Bones in 2017.
Fans will also remember him in Sons of Anarchy and the 2012 movie Lincoln, in which he played Preston Blair.
Hal also had a successful career on stage, most notably playing Mark Twain in a one-man show, which had originally been part of an honours project at university.
He played the role in Mark Twain Tonight! for six decades before retiring from it in September 2017.
Hal was born in Cleveland, Ohio in 1925.
He and his two sisters were abandoned by their parents when he was just two years old, and they were raised by their paternal grandparents.
Before he began his acting career, Hal served in the United States Army during the Second World War, achieving the rank of staff sergeant.
It was during his first solo performance as Twain in Pennsylvania in 1954 when he was spotted by TV host Ed Sullivan, who gave Hal his first national exposure on The Ed Sullivan Show.
Hal was honoured by President George W Bush in 2003 when he was awarded a National Humanities Medal for "charming audiences with the wit and wisdom of Mark Twain as Twain's outlook never fails to give Holbrook a good show to put on".
He was married three times throughout his life, to actress and singer Dixie Carter with whom he appeared in film That Evening Sun, Carol Rossen and Ruby Johnston.
He had three children.
