Stuart Holmes (born Joseph Liebchen; March 10, 1884 – December 29, 1971) was an American actor and sculptor whose career spanned seven decades. He appeared in almost 450 films between 1909 and 1964, sometimes credited as Stewart Holmes.

Biography

[edit | edit source]

Holmes was born Joseph Liebchen on March 10, 1884, in Chicago, Illinois, where he was educated.[1]

For 20 years, Holmes performed in vaudeville and on stage, with the latter often being in Shakespeare's plays. His work in the theater included a stint in Germany.[1]

Holmes's film career began in 1911 and ended with The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962).

As a sculptor, Holmes created work for at least three California United States post offices — in Oceanside (1936), Claremont (1937), and Bell (1937).[2]
