You should know that Sarah Bernhardt is often presented as the world's first showbiz star! The first influencer! She was a bit like the Kim Kardashian of her time, but the comparison ends there. She was loved around the world, known as a free, courageous and committed woman.
Quite surprising thing: know that it is for her that the expression “sacred monster” was invented. An incredible life, between escapades and excess.
In the theater, she played both female and male roles. As for his technique for learning his texts, this was quite special. For good reason: she rehearsed her roles, it seems, in a custom-made coffin padded with white satin.
As for his love life, there too, it was eventful. She had lovers and mistresses, all crazy about her, which made her very sulphurous. So much so that, when she gave birth to a little boy, she was never very clear about the identity of the father.
Besides that, she loved living surrounded by animals. And hold on: worse than Noah's ark, it had a monkey, a chameleon, a turtle… or even a boa that she killed with a pistol shot because it ate her dogs and gobbled up the cushions from the couch! She also had an alligator that died of an overdose. What ? Champagne! Hence its sulphurous reputation!
A life that can easily be described as extraordinary, which Sandrine Kiberlain therefore embodies in the cinema in Sarah Bernhardt, La Divine. Release date? March 26!
