Jean Hersholt (Rollins 1946) (July 12, 1886 – June 2, 1956) was a Danish actor. Born in Copenhagen, Denmark, Hersholt went on to become a well-known actor in the United States, best known for his portrayal of Marcus Schouler in Erich von Stroheim’s 1924 film Greed. He was also a Hans Christian Andersen enthusiast who assembled a large collection of books related to that writer (now in the Library of Congress). His translations of Andersen’s Tales are considered the best English version in existence. Hersholt’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame resides at 6501 Hollywood Blvd.
