Josie Sadler (1871–1927) was for twenty years a leading American stage comedienne known for her "Dutch" (German) dialect routines and heavy-set appearance. She made several early phonograph recordings for the major companies of the time, and also made several silent films, mostly for Vitagraph. She retired from show business to operate her deceased husband's electrical research business.
