Your piece was superbly well conceived, I am amazed. From the distance of a century, I have always been intrigued by Sarah Bernhardt, ever since someone offered me a poster of Sarah, one of the posters mentioned in your documentary, I was a 11 year old boy. Coming across your work was a godsend. Now I understand better the lady in the poster. Congratulations. And thank you.
My family always caclled me that from when I was little+I had no idea why nor who she was until I came across Sarah Bernhard+was like “WTF?!” Why would my family tease a child over being like 1 of Madonna's gap-tooth lesbian buddies(not that there’s anything wrong with w/that!) I thought to myself “How do they(my Grandparents)even know who these ppl are?!” My point: Look at all the differences, and sameness, brought together by 1 singular letter. Who knew the significance?! I do…NOW! #LetItBernhardt #LadiesAheadIfTheirTime #HaventIalwaysBeen
Have loved Sarah from before I knew who she was. Alphonse Mucha’s works for her have been a part of my life (and walls) for decades. Good job, once again. 🌻
Sarah Bernhardt was an artist in the truest sense of the word: A person determined to show the World the true spectrum of humanity. Her circumstances of birth be damned, she never for got what could be.
She was a friend of Lillie Langtry. The whole series Lillie Langtry are free on YT. In one episode Sarah was visiting London. The part of Lillie is played by Francesca Annis. Lovely series. I even bought them on DVD. But they're free on YT. The part of Sarah I should look up but the actress did great and looks like Sarah.
Thank you! It seems my whole life I've heard of Sarah Bernhardt but never saw any performances or read any books about her. From your splendid narration, I see she kicked down a lot of doors for women in the entertainment industry. There's a Bette Davis saying "she did it her way". Well, before there was Davis, there was Bernhardt. Again, many thanks. You did a superb job.
Wonderful video, brilliantly narrated, and great story. Amazing how you put these together. Shame TH-cam doesn't value this kind of content. I imagine it is tempting to post another video on the Mr Beast situation. Your channel is a rare gem.
I hope you enjoy this week's Videos. Let me know your thoughts on Sarah and who you would like to see. I am working on many of your topics for Autumn and am really excited to share them. Remember comments and likes are vital to keep the channel going, so thank you. Sorry to my high school French teacher for butchering the language.
Yes, your former teacher would want you to double-check your pronunciations of (the avenue des) Champs-Elysees, courtesan and macabre. Otherwise, this was a most entertaining bit of history to watch on a Friday afternoon, and I shall watch it twice!! Thanks for your efforts to enrich our lives. It is appreciated.
@@annfisher3316 I already have her on the list. I hope to do her in the Autumn. The only thing I fear with those videos is lack of photos, so it will be heavily artistic. Ada Lovelace was practice for the other videos; and it will be a fun challenge, and her story is amazing. Will definitely do it before Christmas.
I absolutely love watchng this video thankyou so so much for all this hard work. I was mesmerised at this amazing woman and the full life she led thankyou.Until coming across your channel I never knew who Sarah Bernhardt was and found the way you told this brilliant story was mesmerising
Very interesting Lady. Amazing that her mother was a Courtesan and she was able to climb so high, guess it was lucky she was sent off to the convent unlike her sisters. I wonder if her mother knew who the father was.
@@MythicMindScape21 now my friend you know I liked it! It's a very well done video and you have a really nice voice in your pleasant to listen to. So yes my friend I enjoy your videos very much. Have a great weekend!
My grandmother told me that Sarah had come to our city to perform. I would check it out and yes she did at the Burlew Theater which was located on the main street in town. The Burlew has been long gone even though the building is still there. The owner of thar theater had a street named for him but doubt if anyone knows it.
Yes she was a difficult character to research as shockingly there are so few good biographies on her, and her autobiography like Chanel's and truthfully many people's especially of that era, and maybe throughout all of history, is just a romanticized version of events and in Sarah's case we can be sure they didn't happen. The fire story is a good example, Sarah had no burns on her body. But French people are especially hard as mentioned in the video during the uprising all documents were lost, so we have very few actual records.
Very interesting & so detailed…..She certainly ‘got around’ & knew so many different types of people. So seemed to have ‘no fear’ & by all accounts was a very good actress. ‘A Princess of the Unconventional’ …..😮
Imagine the discussion at cocktail parties. " Yes, that darling Mr Stoker based my Dracula on my husband " Though with Sarah's gothic tastes I am sure she loved it.
She claimed that her son Maurice's father was a Belgian aristocrat named Charles-Joseph Eugène Henri, Prince de Ligne. However, this claim was never officially confirmed, and there was speculation that Maurice's true father could have been one of her other lovers. It was hard to know what the truth was with Sarah, she made so much up, and no one could really confirm or deny her stories, as records were lost. She certainly raised her son to believe he was his father, but again who knows.

Great piece!
Brilliant film! You are a marvelous writer, narrator and biographer. Thanks so much!
Thank you, I really appreciate such kind word.
I totally agree
Have loved Sarah from before I knew who she was. Alphonse Mucha’s works for her have been a part of my life (and walls) for decades. Good job, once again. 🌻
Thank you. Mucha was my first introduction to Sarah as I loved his work.
What an astonishing and singular human being! Wonderful video, thanks.
She was an original. I agree. Thank you
Never knew she opened a hospital for wounded soldiers during war. A lady of true substance, not just style ❤
I agree.
I had no idea she was a brilliant sculptor as well,what an amazing talent.
Your channel is really great, you deserve more subscribers.
Thank you. I hope one day, So I can post videos more regularly as I really enjoy telling these stories.
@@MythicMindScape21You're supreme at it!
Sarah Bernhardt was an artist in the truest sense of the word: A person determined to show the World the true spectrum of humanity. Her circumstances of birth be damned, she never for got what could be.
I've loved Sarah Bernhardt ever since I was a Jewish convent school student myself.
I love people who defy convention and live their lives without knowingly hurting people. . Thank you ❤😊
Thank you.
There are elements of her life that remind me of Lilie Langtry. Great video, thank you.
She was a friend of Lillie Langtry. The whole series Lillie Langtry are free on YT. In one episode Sarah was visiting London. The part of Lillie is played by Francesca Annis. Lovely series. I even bought them on DVD. But they're free on YT. The part of Sarah I should look up but the actress did great and looks like Sarah.

3:11 the picture of her reminded me of Princess Diana
Would love to have you cover Lady Hamilton.

Beautiful video on all accounts ❤❤❤❤❤Bravo,!!!
Many many thanks
Loving these videos 🫶🏻🥰🩵
Nowadays, she would be titled 'Borderline' or something like that.
Super nice presentation! Never knew about her exquisite sculpting!!!
Glad you enjoyed!
Excellent video. I very much enjoyed your narration! Thank you!
First time viewer ... Fantastic documentary! As good as any done by professional channels. Subscribed! Greetings from Alabama.🙂
Welcome aboard! We will get better as we go. Thank you for the kind words
Very interesting Lady. Amazing that her mother was a Courtesan and she was able to climb so high, guess it was lucky she was sent off to the convent unlike her sisters. I wonder if her mother knew who the father was.
Me too. In her autobiography she tells so many different stories it is hard to know what is true.
Thank you 😊
Always knew her name but never her story/history.
❤
I love your channel and your commentary. Your stories are fabulous ❤
Thank you so much!
Thank you. Very interesting character/story of someone I knew nothing about. But for the THEATER she is a legend.
I'm really glad you enjoyed it even though it was someone new.
❤Thank you!❤
Hope you like it.

@@kimberleyblair3392 You too.
Very nicely done!
Thank you very much!
I'm speechless... Beautiful work....
Thank you so much ❤
What a woman!

Thanks and welcome
Gee, glorious info. Kudos, had no idea
Perfect for relaxing and interesting.
Thank you
Thank you
She was bad ass for the time, a metal head, goth and wicked smart!
Wonderful that we still have footage of her. She was truly badass.
Wonderful! ❤
Wonderful - thank you.
Could you pls do artist and model Suuzanne Valadon?
I will put her on the list and look into it.
I have heard about Sarah for eons, but knew very little about her. No video.
Yes she was a difficult character to research as shockingly there are so few good biographies on her, and her autobiography like Chanel's and truthfully many people's especially of that era, and maybe throughout all of history, is just a romanticized version of events and in Sarah's case we can be sure they didn't happen.

This channel is so good!!!
Thank you so much.
Very interesting & so detailed…..She certainly ‘got around’ & knew so many different types of people. So seemed to have ‘no fear’ & by all accounts was a very good actress. ‘A Princess of the Unconventional’ …..😮
Too exhausting for the likes of me ! ( this beats, Madonna etc),….😂
Amazing video new subbie now 😊
Her husband was the impersonation for Dracula? She did live a romantic and artistic life.
Imagine the discussion at cocktail parties. " Yes, that darling Mr Stoker based my Dracula on my husband " Though with Sarah's gothic tastes I am sure she loved it.
an interesting person would love you to do a video about is John Murray Spear
he built a Messiah Machine
I do not know much about him, I will add him to the list and look into it and learn more.
Courtesans have benefactors.
You sound so much like the woman on the Royalty history channel.
Ok, her liaison😅 with Hugo, that's interesting. Knew nothing about her till now.
Like the music
OK I missed it completely. Who was Maurice's father. Boy what a life I had no idea thanks for the documentary
She claimed that her son Maurice's father was a Belgian aristocrat named Charles-Joseph Eugène Henri, Prince de Ligne. However, this claim was never officially confirmed, and there was speculation that Maurice's true father could have been one of her other lovers. It was hard to know what the truth was with Sarah, she made so much up, and no one could really confirm or deny her stories, as records were lost.

Cate blanchet should play her
Are there no photos of her smiling? Enjoyed this
What a force of nature Sarah was ! maybe today she would have been labelled,,, Bi Polar ,,,,Autistic or ADHD !
Would have been amazing to see her perform.
😃

Your videos are wonderful but the music in the background is annoying. ❤
Interesting doc but the mispronounced words are distracting.
Almost half way through and bored out of my gourd. She seems like a weirdo, but not interesting so far.
That silly music is distracting and unnecessary.
I like the music. Stop being miserable.
Me too! @@JenLev
