Life

Saharet was born in Melbourne, Australia and made his ballet debut at the age of sixteen. A short time later, she and her family moved to San Francisco . There she got an engagement as danseuse excentrique at the Orpheum Theater . After a few months, she traveled to New York and went on a tour of America from there. The director of the Folies Bergère hired her for Paris in 1897, and in the same year she married Ike Rose, who organized numerous guest performances for her through Germany , Austria , Belgium , England , America , Russia and other countries.

In January 1899 she invited Franz von Lenbach , one of the Munich painter princes , to Munich. She was the painter's model. Later, her husband used Lenbach's portraits for advertising purposes, which made the painter very angry. Franz von Stuck also painted them several times between 1902 and 1907.

Many posters are reminiscent of her appearances, such as in 1899 in the Frankfurt Orpheum or in the Berlin Wintergarten , where she appeared repeatedly until 1912. She also appeared with the well-known German comedians Otto Reutter and Albert Paulig .

She played the leading role in the film Witches' Fire in 1912 . Further appearances can be proven up to 1912. A year later she traveled to America, ten years later she performed again in the Berlin Winter Garden, but then withdrew from the stage.

She returned to her homeland and died there in Melbourne in 1942 at the age of 63.
