Jedediah Leland, played by Joseph Cotten, is a main character in the 1941 film Citizen Kane. In the film, Jedediah is a close friend of Charles Foster Kane and is generally acknowledged to represent the morality and idealist beliefs Kane himself loses as the film progresses.
According to Mr. Bernstein; he came from a wealthy family that lost all their money and met Charles Foster Kane in college. He is still alive in the film's present (1941) and is one of the people Jerry Thompson interviews when trying to find out the meaning of "Rosebud." By this time, Jedediah lives in a nursing home in Manhattan.
