Jean Pierre Hersholt (12 July 1886 – 2 June 1956) was a Danish-born actor who lived in the United States, where he was a leading film and radio talent, best known for his 17 years starring on radio in Dr. Christian and for playing Shirley Temple's grandfather in Heidi. Asked how to pronounce his name, he told The Literary Digest, "In English, her'sholt; in Danish, hairs'hult." Of his total credits, 75 were silent films and 65 were sound films. He appeared in 140 films and directed four.

# Quote 1 [in 1954] Dr Christian is such a sweet sentimental fellow, I'd hate to be stuck with playing him for the rest of my life.
# Fact 1 He was awarded 2 Stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at Motion Pictures at 6501 Hollywood Boulevard and for Radio at 6701 Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood, California. 2 Ex-father-in-law of Osa Massen . 3 Father of Jean Hersholt Jr. and Allan Hersholt . 4 President of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences 1945-1949. 5 In 1939 The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science honored Hersholt for his work as head of the Motion Picture Relief Fund. This helped to support industry employees with medical care when they were down on their luck and was used to create the Motion Picture Country Home and Hospital in Woodland Hills, CA. This led to the creation in 1956 of the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian an honorary Academy Award given to an "individual in the motion picture industry whose humanitarian efforts have brought credit to the industry.". 6 Translated over 160 of Danish author Hans Christian Andersen 's fairy tales into English. These were published in 1949 in six volumes as "The Complete Andersen". Hersholt was knighted by King Christian X of Denmark in 1948, partly due to this endeavor. Hersholt's grave in Forest Lawn Memorial Park is marked with a statue of Klods Hans, a Hans Christian Anderson character who left Denmark to find his way in the the world - much as Hersholt himself did. 7 Interred at Forest Lawn (Glendale), Glendale, California, USA, just outside the Great Mausoleum. 8 Uncle of actor Leslie Nielsen and Erik Nielsen.
