Sadie Martinot
Sadie Martinot (August 19, 1861 – May 7, 1923), was an American actress and soprano singer who performed on stage in dramas, musical comedy and comic opera. Her career began at the age fifteen as Cupid in ''Ixion; or, the Man at the Wheel'' and, but for a few years absence, would remain active on stage in America and abroad until 1908. She was the first to play Hebe in an American production of ''H.M.S. Pinafore,'' the first Katrina in the comic opera '' Rip Van Winkle '' and the first to play the title role in an English adaptation of the operetta, ''Nanon''. Late in her life Martinot would fall victim to mental illness and spend her last few years confined to psychiatric institutions.
==Early life==
She was born Sarah Frances Marie Martinot in New York City on December 19, 1861, the daughter of William Alexander and Mary Lydia (née Randall) Martinot. Her father was the son of John P. Martinot, a French immigrant who founded a successful wholesale firm dealing in imported silk products. William Martinot worked for his father's firm and had served in the American Civil War〔(New York in the war of the rebellion, 1861 to 1865, Volume 5, 1912, p. 3847 ) accessed 6.16.13〕 and later as a New York City police detective who once brought charges of corruption against a NYPD police captain.〔Capt. Burden's Trial. ''New York Times'' August 3, 1875; p. 8〕〔(White, James Terry, ''The National Cyclopedia of American Biography'',1904, p. 556 ) accessed 6.15.13〕 Her mother was said to be of the family that once owned Randall's Island in Manhattan.〔 Before taking to the stage at fifteen, Martinot was educated at area public schools and the Ursuline Convent in New Rochelle, New York.〔〔〔(''Opera Glass'', May, 1896, pp. 67-78 ) accessed 6.14.13〕 Some accounts〔(Grau, Robert, ''Forty Years Observation of Music and the Drama'', pp. 156, 221-222 ) accessed 6.14.13〕 have her birth name as Sally Martin or Sally Eagan, the daughter of an Irish-American single mother who worked hard to ensure her a good education. In March, 1894 Martinot stated to the press that, though she would have been proud to have been raised under such a circumstance, she in fact was the daughter of Mary and William Alexander Martinot.〔(Gossip of this Town. ''Elmira (New York) Telegram,'' March 4, 1894, col. 6 ) accessed 6.15.13〕
