Early life

Born Isadore Louis Bernard van Dommelen, he was the illegitimate child of a Dutch army lieutenant (Isidore Louis Bernard Edmond Tellegen 1836 - 1902) and a Dutch mother.

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, France, eventually co-starring in several roles with Sarah Bernhardt, with whom he was involved romantically. In 1910 he made his motion picture debut along side Bernhardt in La Dame aux camélias, a silent film made in France based on the play by Alexandre Dumas, fils. 1900 (MCMIII) was a common year starting on Thursday (link will display calendar) of the Gregorian calendar or a common year starting on Friday of the 13-day slower Julian calendar. ...

Move To The United States

In 1910, he and Bernhardt travelled to the United States where The New York Times first published and then retracted the announcement of their impending marriage. (She was 37 years older than he.)

Invited back to the United States, Tellegen worked in theatre and made his first American film in 1915 titled The Explorer followed by The Unknown, both with Dorothy Davenport as his co-star. Considered one of the best looking actors on screen, he followed up with three straight films starring opposite Geraldine Farrar.

Later Career and Suicide

He had appeared in numerous films, when his face was injured in a fire. Fame faded, employment was not forthcoming, and he went bankrupt. He was diagnosed with cancer, though this information was kept from him, and he became despondent.

Unreliable Autobiography

His autobiography, Women Have Been Kind (to which title reviewer Dorothy Parker suggested appending "of Dumb"), is at best unreliable. It contains many false claims, one of which is that he posed for Rodin's sculpture, Eternal Spring. Dorothy Parker (August 22, 1893 – June 7, 1967) was an American writer and poet, best known for her caustic wit, wisecracks, and sharp eye for 20th century urban foibles. ...
