Sarah Bernhardt was a French stage actor who became a global
superstar in the late nineteenth century-the Lady Gaga of her
day-and is still considered to be one of the greatest performers of
all time. This fast-paced account of her life, filled with
provocative detail, brilliantly follows the transformation of a
girl of humble origins, born to a courtesan, into a fabulously
talented, wealthy, and beloved icon. Not only was her acting
trajectory remarkable, but her personal life was filled with
jaw-dropping exploits, and she was extravagantly eccentric, living
with a series of exotic animals and sleeping in a coffin. She grew
to be deeply admired around the world, despite her unabashed and
public promiscuity at a time when convention was king; she slept
with each of her leading men and proudly raised a son without a
husband. A fascinating and fast-paced deep dive into the world of
the divine Sarah. Illustrated with more than sixty-five photos of
Bernhardt on stage, in film, and in real life.

Before Steven made films, he watched them. Naturally inventive with
a vivid imagination, he was known for creating stories inspired by
the world around him. His passion wasn't driven just by
entertainment, however-as the only Jewish boy in his neighborhood,
he was often bullied and felt the sting of antisemitism. He also
suffered the pain of his parents' divorce. Films and the magic they
contained became a necessary escape. From his younger years to his
first days on a movie set, this biography captures the unique ways
Steven's memories influenced his career and helped him to become
the celebrated filmmaker that he is today.
