Kdo je hodil z Sarah Bernhardt?

Sarah Bernhardt, francoska gledališka igralka, * 22. oktober 1844, Pariz, Francija, † 26. marec 1923, Pariz.

Označena je bila za »najslavnejšo igralko v svetovni zgodovini«. Sarah je postala slavna na odrih Evrope v 70. letih 19. stoletja in bila kmalu zelo iskana igralka v Evropi ter Ameriki. Pridobila si je ugled kot resna dramska igralka, ki je nosila vzdevek »božanska Sarah«. Zaigrala je tudi v nekaj pionirskih filmskih posnetkih na začetku dobe filma.

Samuel Jean Pozzi (3 October 1846 – 13 June 1918) was a French surgeon and gynecologist. He was also interested in anthropology and neurology. He is remembered today for John Singer Sargent's portrait of him.

After studying medicine in Paris, Pozzi volunteered to be a medic during the Franco-Prussian War. He later specialized in gynecological and abdominal surgery, establishing the first Chair of Gynecology in Paris in 1884, and performing the first gastroenterostomy in France. Pozzi was elected to the French Academy of Medicine in 1896, and co-founded the Revue de gynécologie et de chirurgie abdominale in 1897.

His personal life was marked by a tumultuous marriage, multiple affairs, and cultural interests, including friendships with notable figures such as Sarah Bernhardt and Marcel Proust. In the political arena, Pozzi served as a senator for his hometown, Bergerac, and supported Alfred Dreyfus during his trial. He died in 1918, when a disgruntled patient fatally shot him.
