 Eleonora Duse (1858-1924)
DUSE, ELEONORA (1858-1924), Italian actress, was born at Vigevano of a family of actors, and made her first stage appearance at a very early age.
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 greatest actresses of history remained undisputable.
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.

 Chicago Sun-Times: Eleonora Duse, the original 'doozy'
Precisely how Duse (who was born in the Veneto region of Italy in 1859 and died on tour in the U.S. in 1924), evolved into an actress of such depth and modernity is central to Sheehy's book, which traces the combination of instinct, emotional tuning and life experience that shaped the actress' art.
Of course Duse also was a real woman, and in addition to her artistry, Sheehy (who has also penned biographies of the American actress and innovator Eva Le Gallienne, and theater director-producer Margo Jones) deftly captures the profound contradictions and emotional storms that drove her art and her personal life.
Duse's spirit comes to life on the book's very first page, as Sheehy zestfully reconstructs her triumph, at the age of 14, in the role of Juliet.

 All About Jewish Theatre - 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.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Christina Alexandra
Maria Eleonora of Brandenburg, her mother, had hoped for a son, and was so disappointed at the birth of a daughter that she had little love for the child, who was left to the care of nurses.
Three years later, Maria Eleonora brought back the body of her husband, Gustavus Adolphus, to Sweden.
Gustavus Adolphus, however, was tenderly attached to his daughter; in 1630, when he sailed for Germany, he recommended Christina to the loyalty of his people and put his sister Catherine, who held her court at Stegeborg, in charge of the child's education.

 SBPL Book Review
But the brand new biography of the famed Italian actress, "Eleonora Duse" by Helen Sheehy, researched in newly found sources, depicts a woman of extraordinary talent as well as resilience and determination, a woman who suffered at the hands of men but also doled out just as much suffering to her tormentors.
D'Annunzio (1863 - 1938), the Italian writer of extravagant tastes and sensuality, was famous not only for celebrating passion in his novels and poems, but also for his tumultuous affaire with the actress Eleonora Duse.
Duse would go on to bewitch audiences from Russia to America with her ability to totally transform herself into the character she was portraying on stage.

 Theater News - Tunes, Tomes, & Videos: La Duse -
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 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 cultivated an aura of mystery as the keynote of her public relations campaign, yet she spilled her secrets into the letters she wrote incessantly.

 Eleonora Duse by Helen Sheehy
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.
Duse connected voice, body, and thought to reveal the inner life as well as the outer form of a character.

 AllRefer.com - Eleonora Duse (Theater, Biography) - Encyclopedia
Duse's acting was characterized by simplicity and lack of theatrical artifice.
For some years a romantic attachment existed between Duse and the Italian poet Gabriele D'Annunzio, whose plays she was often the first to present and champion.
She excelled in emotional parts, and her dramatic power, however restrained, was tremendous in its effect.
