Greg Jenner is joined by Prof Sharon Marcus and comedian Isy Suttie to learn about the actor Sarah Bernhardt, a global icon in the 19th and 20th centuries who died a century ago. Bernhardt was one of the most famous people on the planet, coming from humble beginnings as the daughter of a sex worker to dominate theatreland first in France and then across the Atlantic. Sarah’s life was almost as dramatic as her profession, with a love life that included marrying a soldier who may have inspired Dracula to a decades-long relationship with another woman.

Terry's going, morning.
This photographer's run.
Get up.
Listen in on intimate and special conversations.
When you were three months old, I.
Probably had a slice of bread a day.
I got through it because of you.
With the people I love the most.
Tomorrow never comes, yesterday's past.
The only time you actually got is to date.
Kicking back with the cards.
If I listen on BBC Sounds.
