Alexandre Dumas, fils
He made his stage debut in Amsterdam in 1903, and over the next few years built a reputation to the point where he was invited to perform in Paris, eventually co-starring in several roles with Sarah Bernhardt, with whom he was involved romantically. In 1910, he made his motion picture debut alongside Bernhardt in "La dame aux camélias", a silent film made in France based on the play by Alexandre Dumas, fils.
