Sadie Love is a 1919 American silent comedy film distributed by Paramount Pictures (as Famous Players–Lasky Corporation) and directed by John S. Robertson. It is based on a 1915 stage play of the same name by Avery Hopwood and stars Billie Burke in the title role.[1] In the play, Marjorie Rambeau played the Burke part.[2][3][4]

Anecdote

Hedda Hopper reflecting back on the making of this film stated that Billie Burke always wanted a dressing room to herself and was reluctant to change clothing with the other female cast members. Hopper seemed to not understand (or perhaps was jealous) that Burke was the star of the film (as well as a star on Broadway) and was due the personal dressing room accorded a star.[5]
