Paulina Clarissa Molony (23 March 1878[1] – 24 July 1964), known professionally as Saharet, was an Australian dancer who performed in vaudeville music houses as well as in Broadway productions in the United States as well as in Europe, earning considerable fame and notoriety.

[4] It is unknown where she learned to dance, or how she found her way to the United States, but in May 1891, at the age of 13, she had joined the "Liliputians", a company performing at San Francisco's Baldwin Theater as "Clarice Campbell".

Following the birth of her daughter, she appeared at Koster & Bial's Music Hall, 34th Street (Manhattan), Herald Square, New York City, along with a troupe of whirlwind dancers, and Adele Purvis-Onri.

Rice, obtained her services for The French Maid with one reviewer describing Saharet as an "India rubber lady" in her rendition of a "dislocation dance".

[14] Saharet's 1898 tour of Europe established her as a star, for while Rose demanded a high salary or arranged a percentage deal, a string of publicity stunts also attracted crowds to see her.

[17] She was the star of a show at the American Music Hall, West, Manhattan,[19][20] in March 1909, and was summoned to return by several curtain calls.

[2] In January 1919 and October 1920, she applied as a resident of Brooklyn and wife of a naturalized citizen for a U.S. passport in order to accompany her husband on trips to Europe.

By that time she was without family, but for a half brother in New York, as her daughter Carrie had committed suicide after a disastrous car accident in 1950.
