Sarah Duhamel
Sarah Duhamel (born March 21, 1873 in Rouen , † April 15, 1926 in Paris ) was a French actress . She is considered one of the first French film comedians.
Life
Duhamel made his debut at the Théâtre Lafayette in Le Petit Corporal at the age of three . Her success was so great that she went to Paris , where she received engagements at the Théâtre du Gymnase, the Odéon and the Théâtre Libre and was seen in children's roles.
In 1895 she appeared in the revue Le Divan Japonais , from 1897 to 1899 she was a member of the Fourmi theater group. After 1900 she was engaged at the Libre Echange and at the Casino de Tourelles, where she made minor appearances.
Duhamel came to the cinema around 1908, where she made films for Gaumont . At that time she was working with Louis Feuillade , who let her mimic mainly songs in short films. From 1911 she shot numerous short films under Roméo Bosetti (1879-1948) and soon became the star of the Pathé Comica film studio in Nice , which was set up by Pathé and specialized in humorous films. The "Rosalie" films, a series of over 30 films about the plump Rosalie, played by Duhamel, became popular. She shot a few films with Maurice Schwartz (1890–1960), who appeared as “Little Moritz”.
From 1912 onwards, Éclair made over 20 short films about “Pétronille”, in which Duhamel was seen alongside Lucien Bataille as “Casimir” and Paul Bertho as “Gavroche”. The Pétronille series was discontinued after the end of the First World War . It was not until 1922 that Duhamel was seen in a supporting role in Charles Burguet's (1878-1958) silent film Les mystères de Paris .
Duhamel was initially married to an outfitter for the film production company Gaumont and in 1915 married the comedian Édouard Louis Schmitt, known as Darmène. She died in 1926 and was buried in the Père Lachaise cemetery (field 90).
