Sarah Bernhardt#The Jewish Female Body image

This section seems to veer away from a biography of Bernhardt into a promotion of one person's paper. It reads like a minor senior thesis. I would like to remove it entirely, as having no valid place in Wikipedia. Comments?--Quisqualis (talk) 20:38, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with removing this section. It is not relevant to an article on Sarah Bermhardt and it needs more references. There is only one reference (Freedman, Jonathan (1 January 2013). "Transformations of a Jewish Princess: Salome and the Remaking of the Jewish Female Body from Sarah Bernhardt to Betty Boop". Philological Quarterly. 92 (1): 89). It would be more relevant to the Wikipedia article "Body Image". Svirbely (talk) 23:54, 22 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

In agreement with this deletion. It contains only one reference, and is a long digression about a topic that doesn't belong in this article. 70.50.36.56 (talk) 21:06, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. In fact most of this abnormally lengthy entry seems to have been written by a high school sophomore. Rangdangdiddly (talk) 16:56, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sarah Bernhardt (22 or 23 October 1844 – 26 March 1923) was a French stage actress who had lead roles in some of the most popular French plays of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Rostand called her "the queen of the pose and the princess of the gesture", while Hugo praised her "golden voice". She made several theatrical tours around the world, and was one of the first prominent actresses to make sound recordings and to act in motion pictures. This photograph by Nadar was taken around 1864.

Sarah Bernhardt a "courtisan?"

I dispute the statement that Bernardt was a courtisan, that is, by definition, "a prostitute or kept woman". She had many lovers, but she was never a "kept woman"; she had an independent source of income. She had a police file because she had relationships with important and famous people, not because she was a prostitute. "Courtisan" is a degrading and inappropriate term to use for her. Cordially, SiefkinDR (talk) 18:49, 5 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Try reading the article before making inaccurate statements. She was a prominent courtesan. :

"From 1864 to 1866, after Bernhardt left the Comédie-Française, and after Maurice was born, she frequently had trouble finding roles. She often worked as a courtesan, taking wealthy and influential lovers. The French police of the Second Empire kept files on high-level courtesans, including Bernhardt; her file recorded the wide variety of names and titles of her patrons; they included Alexandre Aguado, the son of Spanish banker and Marquis Alejandro María Aguado; the industrialist Robert de Brimont; the banker Jacques Stern; and the wealthy Louis-Roger de Cahuzac.^[1]" Dimadick (talk) 19:17, 5 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sarah Bernhardt and The New Women's Movement in Brazil

I've added a couple of maintenance tags on this section. The whole thing is the summary of the views expressed in a single essay, on an extremely specific niche Bernhardt-related topic. I think a sentence or two would suffice to cover this topic. And certainly it would be preferable if we got a second source. -Elmer Clark (talk) 03:01, 23 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
