Sarah Bernhardt (born October 22nd 1844 in Paris, France and died March 26th 1923, also in Paris) was the greatest French Jewish actress of the later 19th century and one of the best-known figures in the history of the stage. Sarah Bernhardt was a true fashion icon and also a one-woman brand, a disruptor, a shrewd marketer, and an extremely talented artist. A diva and a workhorse, she flouted social norms, relished eccentricity, and loved freely, -she was eccentric, extravagant and extremely successful. She was first influencer and fashionista in history. Sarah Bernhardt no doubt always fascinated her audience- on and off the stage.
