TRIVIA BITS ... SARAH BERNHARDT

TRIVIA BITS ... SARAH BERNHARDT
Throughout her long and enormously successful career, Sarah Bernhardt never trusted any of her money to the banks. She insisted on being paid with gold coins which she carried in a battered chamois bag.

From this bag she paid her company, servants and creditors. When there were too many gold coins in the bag, she placed the excess in a chest under her bed.
