Albert Bassermann
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Albert Bassermann (September 7, 1867 – May 15, 1952) was a stage and screen actor.
He was born in Mannheim, Germany. His illustrious career was acknowledged when he received the Iffland-Ring from the respected classics scholar Friedrich Haase. While Bassermann himself attempted to bestow the Iffland-Ring, he outlived each of the three grantees he chose. Not wanting to be mistaken a fourth time, Bassermann deferred making a choice; instead, a group of German actors made the decision.
Bassermann died from a heart attack in Zurich, Switzerland.
