Born as Rosine, Sarah Bernhardt 1844-1923 born in Paris to a Jewish woman, making her Jewish even though her father was unknown. She became a Jewish actress, educated as a Catholic. Sarah Bernhardt was a French stage and then became an early film actress. She was referred to as "the most famous actress the world has ever known", and is regarded as one of the finest actors all time. She kept on acting until she died, even though she had to have a leg amputated in 1915. This beautiful woman "was the daughter of Julie Bernardt, Jewish (1821, Amsterdam – 1876, Paris) and an unknown father. Julie was one of six children of an itinerant Jewish spectacle merchant, "vision specialist" Moritz Baruch Bernardt, and Sara Hirsch (later known as Janetta Hartog; c. 1797–1829). The actresses father had been labeled as a petty criminal in France, possibly another expression of the day's anti-Semitism. What did he do? Steal bread? Knowing the mood of the country gives me pause to wonder about such an accusation. |
