 Classic Images: Sarah Bernhardt
Sarah was so horrified by the film that she tried to have all the negatives bought up and burned, but -- as she found out a few years later -- she failed.
Sarah herself complained only of hitting her marks during the filming: she was used to having an entire stage to work in, and confining herself the camera's narrow range frustrated her.
Sarah was still touring in the play in early 1915 when her right leg had to be amputated, after confining her to a wheelchair for months.
