Born this day in 1845, Sarah Bernhardt, the greatest actress ever! Or so it seemed in Bernhardt's lifetime. There are so many tales about Sarah Bernhardt's personal life and her wildly successful career maybe it is true. The photos above are an indication of her presence. She played Hamlet, she played Cleopatra; and even after her right leg was amputated she still filled the theatre houses around the world. The voice, Bernhardt's voice was magical. So happy birthday, Sarah.
