## Bio

Born Henriette-Rosine Bernard on 22 October 1844, she became Sarah Bernhardt and claimed the French stage with roles in La Dame aux Camélias, Ruy Blas, Fédora, La Tosca, and L'Aiglon. She crossed gender lines to play Hamlet and other male parts at a time when the idea was near-scandalous. Edmond Rostand called her "the queen of the pose and the princess of the gesture"; Victor Hugo praised her "golden voice". She took that voice on theatrical tours across continents, then into Edison's sound recordings and early motion pictures. Between performances she painted and sculpted - her work in visual art was serious enough to stand apart from the fame. She also lifted artist Alphonse Mucha into the spotlight, helping to make his Art Nouveau posters iconic. She died 26 March 1923, having spent nearly sixty years proving that stage presence could cross any medium.
