Description of Jean Buron (Jean Hersholt):
Jean Pierre Carl Buron, known professionally as Jean Hersholt, was a Danish-American actor. He is best known for starring on the CBS radio series Dr. Christian (1937–1954) and inspiring later subsequent TV series (1956–1957), along with co-starring in the Shirley Temple film Heidi (1937). Asked how to pronounce his name, he told The Literary Digest (a major influential magazine of current affairs, news, opinion, and cultural affairs, published in 1890–1938): "In English, her'sholt; in Danish, hairs'hult." Of his total motion picture credits from 1924 to 1955, 75 were silent films and 65 were "talkies"—140 total; he directed four.
