Jean Hersholt was a much-liked Danish actor who made 142 movies, mostly between the middle 1910s and the early 1940s. He had a series of movies where he played the benevolent Dr. Paul Christian, but he is surely best remembered today for his many humanitarian deeds, including helping found the Motion Picture Relief Fund, and his name is attached to one of the most prestigious Academy Awards, the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award. Some of his movies include: Greed, Dinner at Eight, and Grand Hotel. He passed away in 1956 at the age of 69.
Important Added Info: Note that this letter has been personally autographed (signed) by Jean Hersholt!

Note that eMoviePoster.com recently auctioned a wonderful archive of original stills that were owned by director H. Bruce "Lucky" Humberstone. In that archive were ten letters from famous celebrities to Mr. Humberstone, and we are auctioning those now, in ten separate auctions. Obviously, famous stars would write their own letters to someone who directed them, so this is a rare opportunity to acquire letters from great stars that are 100% certainly authentic!

As is true of all the signed items we are currently auctioning, we give every buyer 30 days in which to review what they purchased and they can return any item as long as it is within 30 days of the end of the auction.

Condition: very good to fine.
