During his long career in the movies, his roles ran the gamut from early silent villains to secondary parts in which his mild Danish accent and pleasant voice suited him to depict a succession of benevolent fathers, doctors, professors, and European noblemen. Hersholt's last role was in the 1955 movie ''[[Run for Cover (film)|Run for Cover]]''.{{citation needed|date=January 2016}} In ''The Country Doctor'' (1936), a movie starring the [[Dionne quintuplets]], Hersholt portrayed Dr. John Luke, a character based on [[Allan Roy Dafoe|Dr. Allan Roy Dafoe]], the Canadian obstetrician who delivered and cared for the Dionne quintuplets. Two sequels followed. Hersholt wanted to do the role on radio, but could not get the rights. He decided to create his own doctor character for radio, and since he was a [[Hans Christian Andersen]] enthusiast, he borrowed that name for his character of the philosophical Dr. Paul Christian who practiced in the Midwest town of River's End with the assistance of Nurse Judy Price. With the opening theme music of "Rainbow on the River", ''Dr. Christian'' was introduced on CBS on 7 November 1937 on ''The Vaseline Program'', or ''Dr. Christian's Office'' and later ''Dr. Christian''.{{citation needed|date=January 2016}} The small-town physician's good humor, innate common sense, and scientific training helped drive off a series of villainous types who tried to interfere with the peaceful lifestyle of River's End. Produced by Dorothy McCann, the radio series became a popular long-running hit, continuing on CBS until 6 January 1954, with Hersholt so strongly identified with the role that he received mail asking for medical advice. Various spin-offs were produced, as Hersholt co-wrote a Dr. Christian novel and made a series of six family films as Christian from 1939 to 1941, for instance ''[[Dr. Christian Meets the Women]]'' in 1940. In 1956, his Dr. Christian character made the transition to television, scripted by [[Gene Roddenberry]], with [[Macdonald Carey]] as his nephew Dr. Mark Christian. From the '30s through the '50s, [[Neil Reagan]], brother of [[Ronald Reagan]], directed the radio series ''Dr. Christian'', starring Jean Hersholt. In 1939, Hersholt helped form the [[Motion Picture & Television Fund|Motion Picture Relief Fund]] to support industry employees with medical care when they were down on their luck. The fund was used to create the Motion Picture Country House and Hospital in [[Woodland Hills, California]], and it led to the creation in 1956 of the [[Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award]], an honorary Academy Award given to an "individual in the motion picture industry whose humanitarian efforts have brought credit to the industry".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.oscars.org/governors/hersholt|title=Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award|work=Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences}}</ref> As president of the [[Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences]], Hersholt presented [[Cinema of the United States|American film industry]] founders Colonel [[William N.

He is best known for starring on the radio series ''[[Dr. Christian]]'' (1937–1954) and in the film ''[[Heidi (1937 film)|Heidi]]'' (1937).<ref name="WVobit">Obituary ''[[Variety Obituaries|Variety]]'', 6 June 1956, p. 63.</ref> Asked how to pronounce his name, he told ''[[The Literary Digest]]'', "In English, ''her'sholt''; in Danish, ''hairs'hult''."<ref>{{cite book|last=Funk|author-link=Charles Earle Funk|first=Charles Earle|title=What's the Name, Please?

Hersholt claimed to be born into a family of actors,<ref>{{Cite book|title=Current biography yearbook, Volume 5|publisher=H. W. Wilson Co.|year=1945|page=288}}</ref> but in reality, both of his parents Henri Pierre Buron, the son of a French Catholic father and a Danish Protestant mother, and Clara (née Petersen), the daughter of a Danish Protestant father and a Danish Jewish mother, were hairdressers, though the father later was a cigar and wine retailer/vendor.<ref name=":0"/> Hersholt appeared in two of the first short films of Danish film studio [[Nordisk Film]] in 1906, but did not find much success in his early years in Denmark.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.dfi.dk/faktaomfilm/person/da/131792.aspx?id=131792|title=Jean Hersholt|language=DA|work=Danish Film Institute|access-date=2018-03-01}}</ref> Hersholt emigrated to the United States in 1913, and spent the remainder of his acting career in America. ==Career== [[Image:Drchristianad.jpg|thumb|left|Promotional flyer for Seattle station [[KIRO (AM)|KIRO]]]] Hersholt's best-remembered film roles include Marcus Schouler in [[Erich von Stroheim]]'s 1924 ''[[Greed (1924 film)|Greed]]'' and Shirley Temple's beloved grandfather in the [[Heidi (1937 film)|1937 film version]] of the 1880 children's book, ''[[Heidi]]'', written by Swiss author [[Johanna Spyri]]. During his long career in the movies, his roles ran the gamut from early silent villains to secondary parts in which his mild Danish accent and pleasant voice suited him to depict a succession of benevolent fathers, doctors, professors, and European noblemen. Hersholt's last role was in the 1955 movie ''[[Run for Cover (film)|Run for Cover]]''.{{citation needed|date=January 2016}} In ''The Country Doctor'' (1936), a movie starring the [[Dionne quintuplets]], Hersholt portrayed Dr. John Luke, a character based on [[Allan Roy Dafoe|Dr. Allan Roy Dafoe]], the Canadian obstetrician who delivered and cared for the Dionne quintuplets. Two sequels followed. Hersholt wanted to do the role on radio, but could not get the rights. He decided to create his own doctor character for radio, and since he was a [[Hans Christian Andersen]] enthusiast, he borrowed that name for his character of the philosophical Dr. Paul Christian who practiced in the Midwest town of River's End with the assistance of Nurse Judy Price. With the opening theme music of "Rainbow on the River", ''Dr. Christian'' was introduced on CBS on 7 November 1937 on ''The Vaseline Program'', or ''Dr. Christian's Office'' and later ''Dr. Christian''.{{citation needed|date=January 2016}} The small-town physician's good humor, innate common sense, and scientific training helped drive off a series of villainous types who tried to interfere with the peaceful lifestyle of River's End. Produced by Dorothy McCann, the radio series became a popular long-running hit, continuing on CBS until 6 January 1954, with Hersholt so strongly identified with the role that he received mail asking for medical advice. Various spin-offs were produced, as Hersholt co-wrote a Dr. Christian novel and made a series of six family films as Christian from 1939 to 1941, for instance ''[[Dr. Christian Meets the Women]]'' in 1940. In 1956, his Dr. Christian character made the transition to television, scripted by [[Gene Roddenberry]], with [[Macdonald Carey]] as his nephew Dr. Mark Christian. From the '30s through the '50s, [[Neil Reagan]], brother of [[Ronald Reagan]], directed the radio series ''Dr. Christian'', starring Jean Hersholt. In 1939, Hersholt helped form the [[Motion Picture & Television Fund|Motion Picture Relief Fund]] to support industry employees with medical care when they were down on their luck. The fund was used to create the Motion Picture Country House and Hospital in [[Woodland Hills, California]], and it led to the creation in 1956 of the [[Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award]], an honorary Academy Award given to an "individual in the motion picture industry whose humanitarian efforts have brought credit to the industry".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.oscars.org/governors/hersholt|title=Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award|work=Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences}}</ref> As president of the [[Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences]], Hersholt presented [[Cinema of the United States|American film industry]] founders Colonel [[William N. Selig]], [[Albert E. Smith (producer)|Albert E. Smith]], [[George K.
