- Suzanne Caubaye [originally Caubet] actress and writer, was born in Algeria to French parents, her father an actor and her mother apparently a doctor. The family returned to Paris when Caubaye was still an infant. Both her father and her uncle, George Duneubourg, were members of Sarah Bernhardt's company.Caubaye made her acting debut at the age of threee in a production of RIP VAN WINKLE. She began playing roles in Sarah Bernhardt's productions when she was eleven. Fron 1917 to 1919 Caubaye played ingenue leads in Bernhardt's one-act plays and in single acts from full-length successes during three farewell tours of America and Cuba. At the close of the 1919 tour, Caubaye remained in America. She had a brief film career in Hollywood, appeared in Morris Gest's MIDNIGHT WHIRL in New York, did a season of French plays with Richard Herndon, and toured in several plays including THE MONSTER.In 1926 she won rave notices for the role of Nubi in the Broadway production of THE SQUALL. Among other Broadway plays in which she appeared were THE STOLEN LADY, RINGSIDE, THE IMPORTED WIFE, and THE GREAT BARRINGTON. After Caubaye replaced Irene Bordoni in LOUISIANA PURCHASE, she played many of Bordoni's parts on the road.Caubaye appeared frequently on television in shows such as THE GOLDBERGS, I SPY and KRAFT THEATRE and was heard on the radio in THE FAT MAN, FRED ALLEN, and MA PERKINS, to name only a few.As a writer, Caubaye collaborated with Anne Partridge on the play Sarah and wrote articles about her experiences with Sarah Bernhardt, who was her godmother.
