	Italian Movies:Eleonora Duse
		Born October 3, 1858 in Vigevano, Italy, to a family of actors, Duse went on to enjoy a sensational acting career and made a lasting impact on the stage; her success in the acting world led her to become the first woman to be featured on the cover of Time Magazine in 1923.
		By the middle of the 1880s, Duse came to be regarded as Italy's greatest actress and she performed many of the roles also played by her rival Sarah Bernhardt who was one of the most famous women of the Art Nouveau world.
		Duse was born while on tour and died while on tour in the U.S. She was buried at a cemetery in Asolo, Italy.

	Eleanora Duse - LoveToKnow 1911
		ELEANORA DUSE (1859-), Italian actress, was born at Vigevano of a family of actors, and made her first stage appearance at a very early age.
		The hardships incident to touring with travelling companies unfavourably affected her health, but by 1885 she was recognized at home as Italy's greatest actress, and this verdict was confirmed by that of all the leading cities of Europe and America.
		Ill-health kept Madame Duse off the stage for some time; but though, after 1900, it was no longer possible for her to avoid "make-up," her rank among the great actresses of history remained indisputable.

	Bookreporter.com - ELEONORA DUSE: A Biography by Helen Sheehy
		Duse (doo-ZAY) had learned the fundamentals of acting as a member of her family's troupe, a struggling, itinerant theater company that depended on each day's small income to pay for the day's bread and a bed for the night.
		Duse harbored a profound mistrust of language and probed deeply beneath the lines of her characters to discover --- and to portray --- what she called the invisible side of life.
		Though Sheehy, unlike Duse, is necessarily limited to words, she has produced a biography that enables readers to come as close as one could reasonably expect to both the visible and the invisible worlds of an actress who may have been simply the best.

	glbtq >> arts >> Duse, Eleanora
		Eleanora Duse was one of the greatest actresses of her era, famous for her interpretations of Shakespearean roles and the heroines of nineteenth-century French drama, and for introducing the new drama of Ibsen and d'Annunzio.
		Duse was born on October 3, 1859, allegedly in the third-class carriage of a train, near Vigevano, Italy.
		Duse's body lay in state for six days in Pittsburgh and was then brought to New York, where her hearse led a funeral procession directly to the pier of the liner Duilo, which returned her body to her beloved Italy.

	La Duse: Tunes, Tomes, & Videos on TheaterMania.com
		Duse is a natural subject for Sheehy to pursue after her book on Le Gallienne: Duse was Le Gallienne's role model (also an acquaintance); and Le Gallienne, late in life, wrote a biography of the Italian actress, The Mystic in the Theatre.
		Duse -- or "La Duse," as she was known at the height of her career -- was Sarah Bernhardt's chief rival on the European stage and, along with Bernhardt, one of the first global (or nearly global) superstars.
		Duse cultivated an aura of mystery as the keynote of her public relations campaign, yet she spilled her secrets into the letters she wrote incessantly.

	The Lady With the Beautiful Hands
		When the interviewer saw them lying on the table, the news was shortly given to the world "that Madame Duse had a passion for collecting scissors." Such experiences had made her shy in meeting strangers.
		When the door of her suite was opened I confess, in the darkness, I nearly mistook her companion for Duse herself.
		When she finally came in from her bedroom, she went straight to her personal manager without looking at me. Then, when he greeted her and mentioned my name, she turned quickly towards me with a measuring glance, her lips murmuring a greeting as she extended her hand, which I saluted in Continental fashion.

	Random House Academic Resources \| Eleonora Duse by Helen Sheehy
		Duse connected voice, body, and thought to reveal the inner life as well as the outer form of a character.
		Duse was a complex, difficult woman and she chose complex, difficult, demanding, but fascinating men–Martino Cafiero, her first lover and the father of her illegitimate son, wouldn’t marry her; Arrigo Boito, Verdi’s librettist, was afraid to commit to her; and poet and playwright Gabriele d’Annunzio used her for his own artistic purposes.
		Duse used her sensuality onstage by touching her acting partners, kissing the male lead on the mouth instead of the traditional cheek or the forehead.

	All About Jewish Theatre - ELEONORA DUSE: A Biography by Helen Sheehy
		Sheehy's examination of how Duse differed from Bernhardt, who in most ways exemplified everything that was thought to be desirable in an actor, makes her contributions and innovations more easily appreciated, particularly for readers with little or no knowledge of the theater.
		Duse harbored a profound mistrust of language and probed deeply beneath the lines of her characters to discover - and to portray - what she called the invisible side of life.
		While Bernhardt was always Bernhardt, Duse disappeared within her characters, and although she always spoke her lines in Italian, she communicated their thoughts and feelings in ways so surpassingly subtle and yet so clear that her audiences seemed always to understand -- without understanding why.

	All About Jewish Theatre - Drama's Queen / Eleonora Duse, the great 19th century actress
		With this problem in mind, taking her cue directly from Duse, Sheehy affirms that the theater "is a metaphor for life - and death - itself." It isn't and never was a reflection of reality, but a vision, a prayer - as Duse would have said, a "dream" of existence.
		Where others had strutted, posed and declaimed on the stage, Duse stood still and often silent, vibrant, alert, paring her lines and her movements to a minimum and sending shudders through her audience by sheer force of will and the strength of repressed emotion.
		As an actress, Duse had no training in the formal sense; what she knew she had learned on the road, as the daughter, granddaughter and great- granddaughter of itinerant Italian actors.

		Duse brings to Pitura Freska his blues-rock background, African influences and his love for dub; all condensed into that personal style that influenced so many of the band songs and can now be found in his solo work.
		And is with “Mash” that Duse develops the project of remixing the last album in a dub style, finally finding his space for more experimentation.
		Duse, artistic producer again, gives us the chance with the song “Miga Bae” to hear singing Willy ‘Nfor, who played the bass guitar in the last three albums of Pitura Freska but was also the leader of the famous band Ghetto Blaster and bass player live with Mory Kante, just before his untimely death.

	Duse's Fever
		And while her program bio says she has been researching and writing the piece for five years, not a single source, in print or out, is even mentioned, much less formally credited.
		Thus we get Duse at least once removed, reduced to a distant voice playing Hedda Gabler in Italian on stage, or in her dressing room behind a screen, also speaking Italian.
		The dresser, Nina Gibello, takes center stage in Duse's dressing room (a cozy, charming set by Jeremy J. Lee), fretting in English that her ill mistress — the title fever isn't merely metaphorical — might not make it through her opening night, even with the help of morphine.

	Book Review
		Eleanora Duse was one of the great actresses of the second half of the 19th, early part of the 20th century.
		In this biography which deals with the whole of her life, Helen Sheehy makes the point that Duse's importance is that she introduced a new style of acting to the theatre, a style especially apt for the new kind of realism that was taking over the stage at the same time.
		Her realistic acting style is contrasted to the presentational style of Sarah Bernhardt, the greatest actress of the period just prior to Duse and overlapping with her own career.

	Biography of Italian Actress Eleonora Duse Part 1
		Although Victor Hugo admiringly called her "Duse the God," to most theatergoers she was simply "Duse." This Italian actress shunned makeup and traditional acting technique for more naturalistic theater.
		Moreover, she was said to possess a seemingly magical ability to compel such ordinary objects as chains, flowers, and shawls to perform for her.
		Her long-ill mother died while Duse was performing, and her father left soon after to pursue a belated career in art.

	Rosmersholm di Ibsen per Eleonora Duse (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Eleonora Duse, che ha anche tradotto il testo in italiano dalla versione francese curata dal conte Moritz Prozor, debutta a quarantasette anni nel ruolo di Rebecca West.
		La Duse si occupò dell'allestimento del dramma con una attenzione che può essere definita protoregistica, con una cura quasi sacrale, con un amore cui si abbandonò completamente: «Senza Rosmersholm — scrive in una lettera del 1906 - sarei già morta da un pezzo».
		La fenomenologia dello spettacolo diventa il soggetto di un libro che si legge come un vero e proprio romanzo esistenzialista scritto con piglio tacitiano da una autrice che osserva la materia in esame con rispettoso distacco, fornendo dati e date, senza lasciarsi mai cadere nella trappola del coinvolgimento personale, senza concedersi alcuna esegesi autoreferenziale.

		Set on the last night of the actor's life in a hotel room in Pittsburgh – "Don't let me die in a city with such a ridiculous name" is one of the script's few good lines – the play careens from cliché to cliché.
		As Duse recounts her poor childhood and unhappy life, she picks up photos and talks to them, plucks scarves from a trunk to bask in memories and mimics a journalist asking her questions so she can answer them.
