Sarah Bernhardt (1844-1923) played the role of "aiglon" in the room eponymous Edmond Rostand in 1900. L'Aiglon is a play in six acts by Edmond Rostand based on the life of Napoleon II, who was the son of Emperor Napoleon I and his second wife, Empress Marie Louise. The title of the play comes from a nickname for Napoleon II, the French word for "eaglet" (a young eagle). The title role was created by Sarah Bernhardt in the play's premiere on 15 March 1900 at the Théàtre Sarah Bernhardt. Fashion designer Jacques Doucet designed her famous white costume.
