In her short career she became one of the greatest of French tragédiennes, the associate of Talma, with whom she nearly always played. Her debut at the Comédie-Française occurred on the 24th of May 1788, in Bajazet, with such success that she was made sociétaire the following year. She was one of the actresses who left the Comédie-Francaise in 1791 for the house in the rue Richelieu, soon to become the Théatre de la République, and there her triumphs were no less in King Lear, Othello, La Harpes Melanie et Virginie, etc. Her health, however, failed, and she died insane, in Paris, on the 27th of October 1797.
