Sarah Bernhardt will forever be my biggest celebrity crush. She was a French Jewish actress who rose to prominence in the Victorian era. Sarah was known to sleep in a coffin in order to better understand her roles (talk about method acting!!) and her good friend Victor Hugo once gifted her with a human skull. She also preferred men’s roles. She criticized roles designated for women as lacking depth and emotional range. In regards to preferring men’s roles, Sarah once stated: “The woman more readily looks the part, yet has the maturity of mind to grasp it.”
