Sarah Bernhardt was a French stage actress, and has often been referred to as “the most famous actress in the history of the world”. Sarah Bernhardt insisted on homeopathic treatment for herself and for her cast. She carried her own homeopathic remedy kit, as described by James William Ward in his lecture on homeopathy in 1937, and it is of great interest that her remedy kit contained such high potency remedies, 1m and CM, which required highly specialised prescribing.
