Helen Westley

I posted yesterday about Joseph Schildkraut, who played the title role in the Theatre Guild’s production of Henrik Ibsen’s PEER GYNT (1923); Carroll was a dancer as well as Monsieur Ballon, and Helen Westley (Henrietta Remsen Meserole Manney, 1875-1942) was featured as the Troll King’s Daughter. She is shown here in a photograph by Marcia Stein (Marcia Mishkin, 1880?-1927).

Joseph Schildkraut (1896-1964) by Muray Studios. 

Schildkraut’s father was the character actor Rudolph Schildkraut (1862-1930). Joseph won an Academy Award as Alfred Dreyfus in THE LIFE OF EMILE ZOLA (1937), and he would win a Golden Globe as Otto Frank in THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK (1959).
