Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Sarah Bernhardt as I Knew Her: The Memoirs of Madame Pierre Berton, as Told to Basil Woon
To the playgoers of the world, and even to those who had never seen her act, Sarah Bernhardt was for ever acting a part. She shared her glory with the dozens of poets and playwrights whose inspired interpreter she was. The laurel wreath around her brow was of the same tinsel quality as the scenery which framed her personality.
To the world, Sarah Bernhardt was the greatest tragedienne who had ever lived, and that was all. The all, you will say, was a very great deal. I grant you that but When you have read this book I think you will say that the title of great woman, Which Sarah Bernhardt in reality earned, expresses her true personality far better than that of greatest actress.
