Sarah Bernhardt's Niece

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Scenes from the theatre recalled by the actress Ellen Pollock
'So I watched Bernhardt with a wooden leg stabbing this soldier, and I said, "Well, when I'm grown up I shall be an actress and I shall call myself
Sarah Bernhardt - I could be her daughter." My mother said,
"But you are my daughter," and quick as a flash I said, "Then I'll be her niece!" '
