Bertha Kalich (also spelled Kalish, born Beylke Kalakh; 17 May 1874 ā 18 April 1939) was a Ukrainian-Jewish-American actress. Though she was well-established as an entertainer in Eastern Europe, she is best remembered as one of the several "larger-than-life" figures that dominated New York stages during the "Golden Age" of American Yiddish Theatre during the late nineteenth and early twentieth century.[1][2] Historians estimate that, during her career, Kalich performed more than 125 different roles in seven different languages.
