  	When Damala's mistress (who injected him with heroin between acts of plays he was appearing in) had an illegitimate daughter by him in 1889, she left the baby in a basket (with a note) on Sarah Bernhardt's doorstep (Christopher Long). The baby (who was baptised Teresa) was given into the care of Zaharoff, who found a family to raise her in eastern Thrace (in Adrianopole) (Christopher Long).
  Gender	Female
  Death	1967	Edirne, Marmara, Turkey
  Notes	Her guardian as a child (and later?) was Basil Zaharoff (Christopher Long). In 1920 she posed for Picasso, and she had affairs with the American novelist Ernest Hemingway and Gabriel D'Annunzio (an early Italian Fascist). The story of her life is told in the 1997 historical novel Terese by Freddy Germanos (Christopher Long).
